The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, Part 12 — Page 162

I'm pretty sure most of our posters will be trying stage door, so that will add a little bit of time to it

Hi everyone - I just got home from an incredible night. I feel so lucky to have been there. As many of you know, there's no curtain at the Nederlander, and the actors walk out casually to start the show, led by Roger. Well, before I even saw him (I was on the far right) I heard some screams, which built and built and built, then everyone starting standing up, screaming, cheering and applauding. It lasted a good long while. What a start to the show! I expected there to be some cheers, but this... think Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Adam looked incredibly happy to be there, so much so that I felt it took him a few minutes to get into character, but once he did, he was totally focused. No mistakes that I was aware of (though others more familiar with the show might correct me). The only thing he had a little trouble with was, of all things, the Musetta's Waltz guitar riff. There were new bits of business here and there - Tamyra Gray gave a little shimmy when she sang "No, with my father," and Adam imitated it for his "I'm Roger." It was a funny moment. Anthony and Merle Dandridge played Tango Maureen for all it was worth. There are many more moments worth mentioning, which I'm sure others will bring up. The audience remained incredibly responsive throughout the show, giving large ovations for practically every number. Probably the biggest and loudest, however, was for What You Own. It was the entrance screaming all over again. What a great night!

I didn't stay for the stagedoor, so am very interested to hear all about that!

Hey Robin. I should add that Adam looked and sounded fantastic, and didn't seem to have any problem bounding on and off the tables.

Another nice moment was the little dance Adam and Tamyra did during Happy New Year. She ended up with her legs perched on his hips. She's so slender I don't imagine it was much weight at all for him. La Vie Boheme was extremely lively and well-received, very energetic without going over the top, which is what it seemed when I saw the show a while back. This particular Maureen was a very enthusiastic mooner, and Adam seemed to be craning his neck to check her out.

ETA: there are quite a few posts about the show tonight on the main board's Welcome Home Rapp and Pascal thread.

Heh, D'Monroe, Anthony and Adam all picked up Tamyra at some point during the show, like she was a prop that could be tossed around for effect.

siamese dream and I thought he looked a little soft, truth be told! Not bad, but not up to his previous physique.

Thanks so much for the pictures, misschung. I'm finally off to bed - at least I think I'll be able to sleep now!

He's not quite defying the classification of "starving artist" as much as Joey Fatone was. Of course, it makes more sense to have a soft Roger, because if fanfiction ever taught me anything, it's that Mark gives ALL the Cap N Crunch to Roger. Probably hides the AZT in the Crunchberries.

Thank you for the pictures, misschung. They made me smile.

Thanks for all the reviews! I'm so excited now! Only 3 more weeks...

The stage-door thing sounds bad, though. I hope they manage to come up with something more manageable soon.
