Sorry to butt in....
I have to say seeing Matt Caplan's Mark made me want to kill myself. I've seen him twice so far (one in November last year and once in June 2004). I have never seen an actor on stage who is more bored or less interested in a part he's playing. He barely opened his mouth when he spoke. No energy whatsoever .. he is one of the main reasons why I think Rent is a mess at the moment (apart from all the stunt casting), most of the actors don't 'care' about it, it's a job to them. Having seen the OBC and seen what it can be like I feel like crying every time I see it now.
I love Rent and have been fortunate enough to see it quite a few times with different people. But what Matt did to the character (after having seen what how much effort/dedciation the wonderful Anthony Rapp put into the creation of the charcater) was beyond me.
I felt so strong about it that I was about to go to the stage door and kick his arse!
