Spring Awakening Gap Ad#1

Posted: 11/17/07 at 9:45am

On the cover of Friday's Metro newspaper in NYC, there was a Gap ad with the OBC of Spring Awakening. It was a full page covering the front and back of the paper. They won't clean out the boxes 'til Monday when they put the new paper in, so go grab one (or a few).

Have other casts done Gap commericals before? I do remember seeing The Producers, but don't remember seeing any others.

The only review of a show that matters is your own.

Will they appear in a throwback holiday GAP commercial?

"I haven't left this building since Windows 3.1!"

"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!"

Hairspray had a Bloomingdale's ad.

"I mean, sitting side by side with another man watching Patti LuPone play Rose in GYPSY on Broadway is essentially the equivalent of having hardcore sex." -Wanna Be A Foster. "Say 'Goody.' Say 'Bubbi.'" ... "That's it. Exactly as if it were 'Goody.' Now I know you're gonna sing 'Goody' this time, but nevertheless..."

More than just an Ad, it was a full out campaign with Hairspray inspired clothing - which the cast are wearing.

Gap did a campaign for their lines of jeans and khakis using West Side Story. The sharks were jeans and the jets were khakis, i think. Youtube has some videos if it, they use the original choreography, it's pretty awesome.

I guess GAP is trying to appeal to that teenage rape, masturbation and abortion crowd?

It's the photo on the Friends & Family discount card for this weekend. Strangely enough, we'd already used the card twice and hadn't noticed the picture at all! It even says "The Broadway Cast of Spring Awakening." Doesn't speak well for my attention to detail.
