I find this odd .....

Posted: 9/14/04 at 5:02pm

I saw this ad today in a subway station. Can they slump any lower? And why is he not wearing a shirt? Mark doesn't go shirtless in Rent if I am remembering correctly. I'm also wondering why they are using "newlyweds" to promote him, I have only ever seen him on that show one time. This is just wrong

Oh, what they'll do to increase sales?!?!?! I do agree with you on the shirtless thing and also Newlyweds? That was his brother!

I'm suprised that they don't mention Jessica Simpson in the ad!

Honestly--if people think he's gonna be shirtless the whole time they'll be dissapointed, and then where will that put Rent?

Rent should just close and save what little face it has left.

Drew isnt even that attractive; I say put a shirt back on, and find someone who can actually play the role. Some unknown chorus boy who has trained/waited all his life to be on Broadway---someone deserving.

I saw the Broadway on Broadway video, and Drew was pathetic.

Yuck. I saw that add in the subway a few days ago and ran away looking the other way. It's so weird that he's shirtless, b/c Mark isn't shirtless. I never liked the guy to begin with (I couldn't stand 98 degrees),but this is just weird. I liked the old Marks.

Is this supposed to attrack young women to see the show? I'm more put off than attracted. But then again I don't really go for the waxed chest hair gel pretty boy type. :P

Anyways, Anthony Rapp was so much better as Mark. Too bad he's to old for the part now...

I used to be one of those kids, screaming for Rent to stay open for ever and ever and until every human on the face of this earth saw it.

And then I grew up.

And now I see this add and really think if the show is so badly off, just close it. What is false advertisement of an ex-boy-bander's beefy arms if not a last result? Let it go with a shred of dignity...

Geez, he's toned but I'd hardly call that beefcake. Whatever; I'm not watching Rent again either way.
