The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, Part 12 — Page 37

You spit on me? OK. You're forgiven.

It's amazing what you can find on there if you do some searching. I haven't seen the big OBC one in a while. It's usually expensive, like misschung said, and I can never justify spending THAT much on a poster.

I was just teasing you a little. It's like you have a love/hate relationship.

I've just never understood the fascination. I don't like her voice that much and the "bad ass" attitude just annoys me and seems fake. But to each their own. Some people think the same about Adam. She will always be "the" voice of Mimi and I will respect that.

I like Daphne. But, I like almost everyone, and take almost everything with a grain of salt.

I missed all the Adam/Raul funtime. Cowboys! I laughed.

Adam's "bad boy" moments used to make me raise my eyebrow and ponder, but it has just turned into "awww, he's trying be big and bad" adorable moments.

I like Daphne's first CD, the "unreleased" one, a lot. It feels like an honest expression of herself with no posturing to speak of, but she no doubt has her blind spots and weaknesses like everyone else.

she either seems to express herself incredibly well or just make me wonder "where the hell did that come from?"
exactly. In that interview last week when she discussed the Rent movie, she said on one hand that the problem with the film was that "Chris Columbus wasnt the right person for the job" and then two lines later said that she would have made x, y, and z sacrifices to be in the movie " if Chris had wanted her to." I was like "huh?" I think that's part of why I liked her as Mimi in the OBC so much - she had that way about her where she could be a little bit of badass but also had that tiny bit of flakiness/naivete to her. Part of it was the youthfulness of the entire cast, too, I think, which is why Adam's whole bad boy thing worked back then, but it wouldnt work now. I haven't seen Daphne in anything since Rent tho, I am curious to see her version of Fantine.

about her "down in the dumps comment" she was talking about what she was doing before she got cast in the NYTW version of Rent - she was in that band or something. The same time Wilson said he was working the graveyard shift as the dispatcher.


finally done with take home midterm!

Yeah, I was so suprised she took that part

I suppose they were taking a calculated risk, hoping her acting would pull her through while bringing in a different part of the Broadway audience.

That's not such a contradiction to me. She may have wanted to be in the movie despite feeling the director wasn't right just to put her interpretation on film and be with her old friends and castmates.

Exactly.

Chloe - I understand what you mean about her taking on the project to be with the rest of the OBC despite Columbus' direction.

But the types of sacrifices she talks about - like all the postpartum stuff - was pretty intense, and rubbed me the wrong way too. And she said in that broadway.com interview that she hadn't even seen the movie, which I thought was strange considering she wanted to be a part of it.

---

Yeah, I hear that. I don't know if she would have been cast if it werent for her pregnancy, but somehow I don't think so.

My mom actually came up to me this weekend and was interested in watching the Rent movie, because we had been talking about the play, and I was like hmmm.... to see or not to see

aw.
I actually am curious to know what kind of vocal training he recieved after he was cast in Rent
