Charlotte native is on the verge of pop-stardom. A new tour will bring her home.

Rising pop star Reneé Rapp — a 2018 graduate of Charlotte’s Northwest School of the Arts — has announced her first-ever Charlotte concert this fall.

After finally taking the wraps off of her debut album “Snow Angel” in August, the 23-year-old actress and singer will launch a new tour that will wind its way through her hometown on Wednesday, Oct. 18. Tickets go on sale Friday.

For Rapp, the album and tour are realizations of a dream she’s had since she was a teenager carefully laying out a plan for musical success by way of acting.

In May 2018, Rapp won best actress at The Blumey Awards — which recognizes musical theater talent and achievement among Charlotte-area high school students — for her turn as Sandra in “Big Fish” for Northwest.

The following month, she won a National High School Musical Theatre Award and the attention of agents. Big opportunities followed.

One year after winning The Blumey, Rapp landed the starring role of Regina George in the 2019-2020 Broadway musical “Mean Girls.” She went on to become a star of HBO Max’s dramedy series “The Sex Lives of College Girls” and will reprise her Broadway role in Tina Fey’s upcoming movie version of “Mean Girls the Musical.”

“It’s weird,” Rapp told The Charlotte Observer for a profile published in March. “I’ve discovered this love for acting. That doesn’t mean that I love being on a set. I am big on questioning authority, and I don’t really like doing what people tell me to do. So I actually am not made to be an actor. ...

“When I got ‘Mean Girls,’ I was just like, ‘Oh, well, I’m just getting this role ’cause I can sing, and that’s fine. I’ll try to act, but whatever.’ Then when I got ‘College Girls,’ I was like, ‘I still don’t think I’m good at this.’ Then after Season 1 going into Season 2, I was like, ‘I can kind of act. ... I kind of like this.’ ...

“But it’s nothing close to the love that I have for music. It was really a means to exactly what I’m doing right now. I just happen to be doing ‘Mean Girls’ now, again, which is exciting. But I make every career choice based off of what is going to benefit my music career and its longevity.”

Rapp’s “Snow Angel” will be released by Interscope Records on Aug. 18; her “Snow Hard Feelings Tour” kicks off in Houston, Texas, on Sept. 15.

Tickets for her first-ever Charlotte show, to be performed at The Fillmore at AvidXChange Music Factory, go on sale at 9 a.m. Friday, June 23. Several presales begin on Wednesday, June 21. Details are here.
