So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

Posted: 7/23/06 at 9:06pmIf Zac Efron so much as comes within a mile of a Broadway stage, I will literally write a letter to the producers of whatever show he is considering telling them that they are a disgrace to the tradition that is Broadway. Shame on them, and may they never ever have a successful Broadway hit ever again.

Posted: 7/23/06 at 9:08pmWhy are all of you so defensive about stunt casting? Would you rather have a show close and put a huge group of people out of work, or, would you rather have someone brought in who can sell tickets? That way, people have jobs.

Posted: 7/23/06 at 9:16pmIs that the production with Billy Crystal as Benny, Tom Hanks as Mimi and Meg Ryan as Mark?

Posted: 7/23/06 at 9:20pmIt is. If Rob Reiner can't direct, he's going to have a walk-on as "The Man."

Posted: 7/23/06 at 9:37pmOnly if Carl Reiner can be in it and play "The Waiter" just like his character from the comedy classic, "Summer School".

I never said anything about stunt casting, I was talking specifically about Zac Efron, who is absolutely talentless.

I am sick of the out-of-work actor argument.
New actors get employed. It is a cycle. Shows open, they close, new ones open, and then they close. All of them employ actors.

Posted: 7/23/06 at 11:41pmCan the kid even grow facial hair? He should be Mark, if anything. Just cut the damn hair, and possibly dye it.

"He should be Mark, if anything."
I am going to go with the "if anything" option. Zac Efron should NOT appear in RENT as any character, nor should he do a musical on Broadway ever.

Thanks, Liir.
That Gremlin will actually be starring as Angel in Zac Efron's Rent.

Posted: 7/24/06 at 12:26amIt all makes sense now! Does that mean Phoebe Cates is taking over Maureen?
#22re: If Zac Efron did RENT on broadway...............
Posted: 7/24/06 at 12:34am
No, she's the understudy. The full time Maureen is actually Zach Galligan. (Not to be confused with Zac Efron)
You are in luck though, Collins is be played by Corey Feldman.

Posted: 7/24/06 at 9:41amIf he's gonna do Rent on Broadway, he's gotta grow up a little. He's eighteen and he looks old enough to be my younger brother. People who see Rent will say, "I didn't know there were kids in this show." Seriously, he's too young to play Link.

If Britney Spears did RENT on Broadway...
If Raven Simone did RENT on Broadway...
If Shia Lebouf did RENT on Broadway...
If Tia and Tamara Mawry did RENT on Broadway (they could do the cutest thing--they could say their lines TOGETHER!)...
Just a few ideas.
