RAPP: So essentially what happened is, like, ever since I was, you know, born or, like, had a thought, I kind of always knew that, like, being an artist and being a musician and a songwriter was exactly what I wanted to do. And I was very determined to do whatever I had to to get to this point. And I was always on stage. My mom would sometimes put me in local musicals in my hometown. And I didn't love it, but I was like, this is a great opportunity for me to perform. I just always related to, like, pop artists and pop music more. And, like, Beyonce was more interesting to me than, like, "Merrily We Roll Along," personally. On October 14, 2020, Rapp was cast as Leighton Murray, one of the four leads in Mindy Kaling's Max teen comedy series The Sex Lives of College Girls.

SHAPIRO: That's Renee Rapp's winning performance from 2018. She was 18 years old. And since then, she's had a career to rival any of the great divas. She made her Broadway debut the following year starring as Regina George in "Mean Girls." In a October 2023 interview, Rapp stated that she didn't have a desire to return to acting, following the release of Mean Girls, because she didn't want to return to an environment that gave her so much anxiety.

So I think I kind of hopefully make it very hard for people not to take me seriously because I'm quite aggressive, and I'm quite delusional.

Rapp was born on January 10, 2000. She attended high school at Hopewell High School in Huntersville, North Carolina, for three years, performing in the theater program and playing on the varsity women's golf team before transferring to Northwest School of the Arts.

Tracklist

For me, I go based on lyrics — I’m such a lyric person. Too Well is a melody-based [and] works really well for pop and consumption, but I am a Colorado person through and through.” Worf, Lisa (June 27, 2018).

Eventually, she realized that her sensitivity was her secret weapon. She learned to harness her creative energy and feelings by writing and recording music. Studio sessions, live shows, and even a brief stint in a girl group followed before she landed her big break as a musical theater performer while still in high school. Rapp’s talent was soon recognized, nabbing her musical theater trophies for Best Actress at North Carolina’s Blumey Awards and the national Jimmy Awards, which got her attention from agents in New York. “I promised my parents that if they let me take a semester off from college, somehow I would land a job on Broadway,” she says. The release of Rapp’s deluxe EP isn’t all she has going on. Outside of music, Rapp appears as Leighton in the hit HBO Max/ITV series The Sex Lives of College Girls, which was renewed for a Season 3. Rapp is also set to feature in the Broadway-to-screen adaptation of Mean Girls, which will feature a musical twist.
