Excuse me while I regress to the ripe old age of fifteen. Agreed, except he looks far better now than he did when I was fifteen. (I'm pretty sure those pics are from Saturday night. I found them on the Rent livejournal)
Great pictures, Luckystar! I want next Thursday to come NOW, because I have an interview I'm very excited about and RENT!
For YEARS, I was like, "whatever that is, I want to see it." I saw TV spots and stuff and was totally intrigued. But when I was 12, I was timid like the quietest mouse, heh.
I remember when Rent came out. Everyone on my bus was like "you have to see Rent, you have to see Rent." I saw it right after I saw Les Mis, which was my first Broadway show. I went in to Rent expecting something similar, haha.
The morning star always gets wonderful bright the minute before it has to go --doesn't it?
thought this might be of interest..... from seth rudetskys email...I was kinda hoping they both would do it....but it should be great!
"This week at CHATTERBOX is Anthony Rapp! In the middle of his triumphant (AKA big box office $) to RENT! Peace out...hope to see youse tomorrow at 6 at Don't Tell Mama! (res. 212 757 078 www.sethsbroadwaychatterbox.com"
Aw, it would've been fun to have the two of them go together. I've been hoping Seth would have Adam back for a while now, although he's already been on twice.
I love that first picture in the Playbill article that Tink posted. Based on recent pictures, I think this hair color is one of the more flattering choices Adam has made.
Going back a bit, I remember watching the 48 Hours special on Rent back in '96. My mom had heard so much about the show from watching Rosie O'Donnell that she watched the special, and was especially outraged that Jonathan Larson hadn't gotten proper medical treatment. I immediately wanted to see the show after watching 48 Hours, and I totally couldn't understand why, at 11 years old, I wasn't allowed to go.
I can just remember hearing about "this show called RENT" that sort of taking Broadway by storm. The first I ever saw and heard of it was their Tony Awards performance, and I loved it immediately. If I remember right, the cast recording wasn't even out yet, and I went to my local Virgin Records at midnight to get it immediately when it was released.
I have kicked myself several times over for not going to Rent back then. Since my work depends on my hearing, I was sort of scared away by claims that it was "ear-shattering," something I now realize must have been believed only by those who had never been to a rock concert and were more accustomed to Lerner and Loewe.
