I bought my ticket! I'm just curious because he is also contracted to Cry Baby, so how long is this going to last...

I hope he's in it in December or next summer. He's such a great singer. I know he'll be great in the role.

I wish there were pics/audio of him in Full Monty. I would love to hear his "You Walk With Me." Anyone know how long the contract is for RENT?

I concur about The Full Monty, especially about pictures!

I too am curious about the contract.

I love this kid. Good for him. I'll have to check out RENT again after all these years.

Oh, this looks interesting. I do wonder why Matt left. We'll miss his wonderful screwing up and goofing off during every single number.

Anyway, anyone else wondering about the Roger?

#21

re: It's official...Christopher J Hanke as new Mark in Rent

Posted: 7/7/06 at 7:00pm

I think Matt left because he's been doing the show for about 6 years.

#22

re: It's official...Christopher J Hanke as new Mark in Rent

Posted: 7/7/06 at 7:00pm

Matt is leaving because he's doing another show, I believe.

Finally. It's time.

I'm also really curious about who's going to take over for Tim.

yeah i thought he was pretty cool. yeah, he does goof around in the numbers, but hes not horrible. when i saw it (july 3) i know ava cant act (but i adore her voice), joanne was pretty good, i loved What You Own, (angel and collins : great as always) and mimi was pretty good. i'll miss matt, he was actually one of my favorites in the cast.

Finally (I'm not a Matt fan). Haven't seen Christopher, but from what I heard of In My Life I liked his voice. Good for him. Seems like a perfect fit.
