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).
ETA: Sorry if this is old news, I did a search.

Posted: 11/17/07 at 11:01amHave other casts done Gap commericals before? I do remember seeing The Producers, but don't remember seeing any others.

Posted: 11/17/07 at 1:20pmMore than just an Ad, it was a full out campaign with Hairspray inspired clothing - which the cast are wearing.

Posted: 11/17/07 at 2:30pmGap 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.

Posted: 11/17/07 at 3:31pmI guess GAP is trying to appeal to that teenage rape, masturbation and abortion crowd?

Posted: 11/17/07 at 7:46pmIt'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.
