The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, Part 12 — Page 193

Aw, Dancin, is your ankle okay?

After all this time, I still have a weird envy for people who are discovering Rent for the first time. It's a special moment.

There is that weird sort of... point of no return feeling, heh. I remember experiencing that with Company. I wanted so badly to experience the rush of the very first time all over again, even though I knew that was impossible.

Dancing, I remember you said you hurt your ankle at dance camp, and I noticed your avatar. I meant to ask if that was you and if you're okay - glad to hear you're doing better

Cute avatar, em. I love Adam's guitar strap - even though it's "Roger's" it still suits Adam. And I'm crazy about Anthony's hair.

The feeling of falling in love with a show is so great. It's like that new crush feeling

---

is anyone going to the show next week?

Sweetestsiren said she's going next week also.

I hope you write about the show next time, Emcee. I've been looking forward to reading what you have to say.

I went the opening night (monday) and I am going back this friday night (taking my daughter)...I am excited to see the difference...I thought it was incredible, the july 30th performance...but now that I have read some more of the reviews...it seems it could even be better now! hard to imagine...but I am excited to see it....again!

They will out-do almost everything you have ever been blown away by before. Seeing them in the show, full-force, was better than Rent 10, and I thought that could never be topped.

yay for Em coming over the the RENT avatar dark side!!! :) It probably took you 20 minutes to click the submit button! hehe

I'm excited if Anthony and Adam can do just that. It'll be awesome. I can't wait.

---

hehehe it does, doesn't it!

Thinking about him in Chess always makes me smile!

Well, for me it was... but that's a huuugely personal assessment. This just... was a lot heavier (in a good way) for me. I still haven't QUITE figured out entirely why yet, although I have some pieces of the answer, I suppose. With Rent 10, I felt like someone took my wildest fantasy and just kind of dropped me into it. Because it was so expensive, I had no intention of going until they lowered the ticket prices a few days beforehand. For three wonderful causes, no doubt, but I just could not afford a thousand dollars. That isn't an issue with The Return so long as things are kept in moderation. The reunion, though, people knew that was coming. This was something I never in a million years expected to see at all -- whereas Rent 10 was just something I never expected to experience. I don't know I'd say this was better had it been a different pair of roles being reprised, but the fact that it IS these two, by virtue of the roles themselves and the performers, means a great, great deal to me. I think this was somehow more powerful because even though it's not all of them, they're losing themselves in the roles, whereas Rent 10 was a hybrid concert-performance.

Sorry, that's totally not articulate.

I know what you mean. You're so lucky to have experienced both, tho! Rent 10 looked like it was so much fun.

This is really just amazing. I love the fact that they both agreed to do this, and that they are really putting themselves into it so fully. It's going to be really sad when they leave because for me it just feels like, very final. Like the end of the OBC generation. Not to say the show still isn't great, but I don't know. The period of time when Rent first came out - 1996, '97, '98 was just so great for me in general. A lot of wonderful things happened, so I think I partially attach the OBC of Rent to it. Now, seeing that 10 years have passed and that everyone is older and moving on is just emotional, for me at least.

Anyway, I really want to see Anthony tomorrow at the Chatterbox, but I don't think I have time! I always love hearing his interviews, he's so candid and honest
