Valentina Celebrates “Seasons of Love” in New “Rent” Teaser

How do you measure a year in the life?

Today for Ru, tomorrow for me!

Valentina is sashaying back into the workroom on tonight's season premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, but she's already onto her next TV gig—playing Angel in Fox's upcoming live version of Rent.

The cast of the live musical celebrate "Seasons of Love" in a new teaser featuring them in their characters' iconic outfits, including Valentina in Angel's Santa look.

"I’m definitely taking on a lot, but I’m so excited, especially because it’s live,” Valentina told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s such a blessing to be here and meet the cast for the first time.”

The All Stars queen says she is most excited to perform “Today 4 U” in the musical, but she reveals that her dream Rent role is actually Mimi so she could perform “Out Tonight.”

Wilson Jermaine Heredia originated the role of Angel in the 1996 Broadway cast of Rent and reprised the part for the 2005 movie. In the musical, Angel is a gender queer street performer and drag queen who dies of complications from AIDS. Wilson Cruz and Mj Rodriguez (Pose) have also played her in past productions.

In addition to the news of Valentina, Tinashe has been cast as Mimi, and Roger will be played by Brennin Hunt (Nashville). Jordan Fisher, who won Dancing with the Stars in 2017, will play Mark, and Vanessa Hudgens is Maureen. Brandon Victor Dixon, who was nominated for an Emmy for his role as Judas in this year’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, will play Tom Collins, Angel’s lover, and Kiersey Clemons (Hearts Beat Loud) will play Joanne.

Are we the only ones excited to see Valentina sing “Today 4 U?” She hasn’t been on Broadway, but she does have musical experience; the Season 9 queen was in Kardashian: The Musical, after all.

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 4 premieres Friday, December 14, at 8/7c on VH1.
