The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, Part 12 — Page 183

"evil Adam haters" ? jeez, orange, I was pointing out what a nit-picker she was, when she was fortunate enough to get a photo with him. its so unlike you to twist what people say and exaggerate to make your point.
but what ever, I like this thread for basicly the same reason as Guitar girl,
" I like that about this thread as well. I've always liked and respected Adam more for his work in theater and with his own music. His talent, in general."
Brina, "craptastic is the perfect word to discribe his clothes! I love it!

The only thing that really annoys me is when people saw he and Anthony are too old for the roles. Obviously, they've just proved otherwise.

Before I went today, I thought along the same lines. I said that they were too old. I now eat my words, for everyone to see.

---

robin, my post wasn't necessarily meant as a personal attack. I just heard some news that really frustrated me regarding fans at the stagedoor, so even the "nitpicking" comment hidden on someone's Facebook isn't that bad in comparison to what other people have said and done.

I'm not sure what struck me so much, really. I guess it was just finally seeing them live.

---

They ARE amazing. I just had that doubt in the back of my mind until I actually saw them.

---

I really just do not understand the "too old" thing. People make the argument without acknowledging that there have been actors throughout the entire run who were in their mid-thirties. It isn't a problem because Adam and Anthony are 35/6. It's a problem because that information is inevitably very public.

Amazing doesn't even BEGIN to cover them. They are... I don't even know. Powerful and intense and beautiful and... perfect.

Chloe, exactly. I was kind of like, "Phantom? What? Really?" I'd certainly see it, but I can't really picture it -- it's the last thing I'd expect. I can see him making a great Billy Flynn -- not only does the role require talent, but further, it's reliant on sex appeal and charm.

---

Well, neither of them have ever really looked their ages.

---

I didn't mean to imply the behavior was dangerous. Just generalized stupidity. The Rent people are doing the best they can considering how off-guard they were all caught with the stagedoor chaos. Yes, other shows do better, but those others shows have just opened, have big stars and previously arranged for a stagedoor crowd. Rent hasn't had to deal with crowds like this for 10 years. They're dragging in stagehands and ushers to work at the stagedoor instead of having actual, designated security. I'm sure they'll be bringing in someone else to cover that, but that takes more time than the few days they've actually been back to arrange.

Yeah, I think they might still be trying to find an alternative method. I hope they find something that works better. :/

---

The stagedoor situation was dangerous the first night, but I think they're doing the best they realistically can. There is only so much the workers can do. I haven't seen anyone literally get trampled, but look, if you're willing to put yourself in a situation where hundreds of people are pressed against each other in a frenzied attempt to get autographs, you're accepting the risk that it may not be the most safe situation.

At this point, the only viable alternatives might safer or more efficient ways to arrange the barricades. It's going to be borderline insane no matter what.

I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me.
