Reneé Rapp (birthname: Reneé Mary Jane Rapp) is a singer, Broadway musical performer, and big-screen actor. Soon after graduating from the Northwest School of the Arts, Rapp was performing in regional musical theater, at music festivals, and readings at New York’s Roundabout Theatre Company.

After debuting as an on-camera actor in the co-lead role in HBO’s The Sex Lives of College Girls (2021-present), Reneé Rapp recreated her Broadway role by co-starring in the feature musical film version of Fey’s Mean Girls (2024), co-directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr., produced by Lorne Michaels and Fey and with the ensemble of Angourie Rice, Renee Rapp, Auli’I Cravalho, Fey, Tim Meadows, Jenna Fischer, Busy Phillips, and Jon Hamm, and released by Paramount Pictures.
