Please don't stop your bickering--I LOVE to watch heated message board exchanges, especially over grammar. Truly, I COULD care less.
Is Matt Caplan really the Peter Parker/Spider-man u/s?? YIKES!!
I don't think Matt's quite 40, he might be 32 or 33 but he joined the RENT tour in 99 (I think) and he was really young (IIRC something like 18 or 19).
Wesley Taylor should replace him.
Wow, someone really has the hate on for Matt Caplan. Come on, it's not late in his Rent run anymore. You're way behind the times.

I NEED to see Matt play Peter. I can't even. I've been listening to the recordings on tumblr, and just. . . I love LOVE his voice, and he is very funny, I love his take on Peter. I'd love to see Matt and Kristen Martin together.
Listening to clips on tumblr now, he sounds fantastic....Really surprised me...Go Matt!
Can't wait to see Reeve Carney play Spidey again now that his contract has been extended!
He sounds OK but he does not have the raw edge to his voice and the rock sound thats the music needs.
Just an aside, I went to the 9/11 Broadway event in Times Square and was standing where I could see Carney after they performed. He appears to be a very gracious young man. He stopped for every press person that grabbed him and took time to talk with them. He is also taller than I thought. He looks a bit shorter on stage.
No matter his actual calendar age, he's definitely not passing for seventeen in the picture that was posted. He looks like he should be playing MJ's dad.
Ok, I did not know Matt Caplan was married to Karen Olivo.
