Broadway.com Summer Camp, Day 15! Boy, If/Then Star Anthony Rapp Is Glad He Got His Glasses at Vision Center

We’re gonna be honest: Things around the Broadway.com offices have gotten really boring the last few weeks. It’s sweltering, it’s humid, and worst of all, no new Broadway shows open until after Labor Day. But never fear, dear readers, we’ve got a great way to spice up the month of August: Broadway.com Summer Camp! Each day for 31 days, we’re highlighting the campiest, craziest, wildest—and did we mention campiest?—videos we can find. Put on your gaudy bathing suit and dive in!



WHY WE LOVE IT
Way before If/Then, way before Rent, and even before Adventures in Babysitting, 11-year-old Anthony Rapp was already a showbiz pro. Here he is at age 11, auditioning for a glasses commercial (oddly, sans his signature glasses). Rapp says the best part is Vision Center’s guarantee, but we say the best part is his adorable blonde eyelashes.
