Singer and actress Reneé Rapp launched her career on Broadway, debuting in Mean Girls as a teenager in 2019. Her television acting debut followed in 2021 with a role on The Sex Lives of College Girls. Next up for Rapp was her major-label music debut with the pop ballad "Tattoos" in 2022, followed by the EP Everything to Everyone. After charting with the single "Too Well," she released her debut album, Snow Angel, in 2023. She reprised her role as Regina George in the 2024 theatrical version of the Mean Girls musical.

A performer since childhood, Reneé Rapp was born and raised in North Carolina, where she first began writing and recording songs in her teens. She eventually got her first big professional break in 2019, when she was cast as temporary replacement for Taylor Louderman, originator of the role of Regina George, in the Broadway musical Mean Girls. This led to TV appearances on Today and 2020's Take Me to the World: A Sondheim 90th Birthday Celebration for Rapp. In 2021, she joined the original cast of the HBO Max series The Sex Lives of College Girls, playing Leighton. In between that show's first and second seasons, Rapp made her Interscope Records debut in 2022 with the insecure "Tattoos," a ballad she wrote with Michael Pollack (Julia Michaels, Jonas Brothers), Jacob Kasher (Lady Gaga, the Chainsmokers), and Isabella Sjöstrand (Machine Gun Kelly, Kiana Lede). The seven-song EP Everything to Everyone appeared in November, and the track "Too Well" charted on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart and in New Zealand. Rapp continued to focus on her music career in 2023, issuing the title track from her debut album Snow Angel which came out in August of that year. The set was a Top 10 hit in the U.K. and charted outside the Top 40 in the U.S.

In 2024, she returned to North Shore High School to reprise her role as queen bee Regina George in the big screen adaptation of the musical Mean Girls. As part of the film's promotion, Rapp was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, introduced by her predecessor Rachel McAdams. ~ Marcy Donelson

Auliʻi Cravalho is a Hawaiian singer and actress best known for her relatable lead roles in movie musicals. Her voice acting debut was a career-making one, playing the title role in the 2016 Disney animated musical feature Moana. She delivered the Grammy-winning and Oscar-nominated song "How Far I'll Go." After acting in a series of teen movies and doing further voice work for Disney, including playing Hailey on TV's Hailey's on It! (2023), she co-starred alongside Reneé Rapp in the film adaptation of Broadway's Mean Girls.

Born in 2000 in Kohala, Hawaii, Cravalho landed the title role of Moana, a teenaged Polynesian princess, at the age of only 14. Essentially plucked from obscurity, the high school sophomore and glee club member won casting directors over with her poise, confidence, and strong voice. The film was released in November 2016 to much critical acclaim. Featured in the film was the Lin-Manuel Miranda song "How Far I'll Go," which Cravalho sang and which took home the Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media. In 2017, Cravalho and Miranda performed the song together at the Academy Awards ceremony, where it had been nominated for Best Original Song. Also that year, she released a single version of "How Far I'll Go" backed by the B-side "You're Welcome." In the meantime, the Moana soundtrack went as high as number two on the Billboard 200.

On the heels of her breakout success, Cravalho starred in the 2018 NBC TV drama Rise and reprised her role as Moana for Disney's Ralph Breaks the Internet. In 2019, she took on the role of Ariel in ABC's musical The Little Mermaid Live, which she followed with string of teen films, including All Together (2020), Crush (2022), and the supernatural comedy Darby and the Dead (2022). She was the voice of Moana again for the 2023 TV special LEGO Disney Princess: The Castle Quest. That year, she also provided the voice of Hailey for the short-lived Disney animated series Hailey's on It!

In January 2024, Cravalho starred alongside Reneé Rapp and Angourie Rice in a screen adaptation of the Broadway musical Mean Girls (based on the 2004 Tina Fey film). As Janis, she was featured heavily on the soundtrack album, which landed on the Billboard 200 at number 124. ~ Timothy Monger & Marcy Donelson
