The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, Part 13 — Page 39

Oh i agree, jenna, i don't know if it would make that much of a difference, but it couldn't hurt. The only bad publicity is NO publicity.

But while other kids are back in school, college kids are back in NYC that were home for the summer, and they have free time during days/weekends. So maybe that will help out a little.

When random people ask me about why I am so excited to see the show, I say because two of the original leads are back. They generally say "oh that sounds nice, but who are they". i would then say the two leads in the movie, and they go "oh wow, the movie guys, that's cool!" and finally get somewhat intrigued, lol.

oh I didn't know that they did that with the lotto tickets.

Yeah, since so many people seem to be familiar with the movie, the publicity wouldn't hurt

---

They could've advertised it a bit better. Maybe not the "Today Show", but more than they've been doing.

---

There were a lot of people who had no idea who they were on Monday night also. They probably could do a little bit more publicity, but like many of you said, I don't know if it really matters to people who aren't familiar with Broadway.

If I'm remembering correctly, don't they air Broadway on Broadway on TV? I think I'd rather watch it at home than try to fight to see anything the whole time.

People who don't know theater aren't going to care. And I think the powers that be know that. They'll reach the audience to whom this will matter and just capitalize the hell out of it. I don't think the fact that they're the original cast members will mean anything to people who aren't in the loop. When I was younger, I didn't give a sh!t who I saw in a show, because I didn't really get that status given to OBC members and all that.

I don't DO autographs.

I think with this industry, it's hard, because you can have a great marketing idea, run with it, and have no response. Then you've spent all this money and time, and you're screwed.

IF I'm even in a shot of that movie, I pray for the audience. That was the day I realized I wasn't an actress.

Well, I think the movie, even though it wasn't successful, reached a lot of new people. They could've focused on that more than the fact that they were the OBC.

I was upset at first that I didn't go to the shoot, but in the end, I'm ok with it, lol. I've had 5 of my 15 seconds of fame already, I need to be more careful how I spend the other 10. Although seeing Adam dance that day may have been worth it!

---

It was really fun. I'm glad I went. I just wish I hadn't felt like I was gonna pass out afterwards.

---

buzz asked me the other day how much I have spent on broadway this year, and how much specifically on AP related stuff. I told him I didn't even want to know.

But in my defense, Adam is my anti-drug. All the money I saved from quitting smoking has financed my little "hobby". I could've done worse things with the money!

---

Well, yeah, but to a lot of young movie fans, they're probably "the movie cast," not "the OBC." Even still, though, I think it's all bled into one fandom in that they all get their information from common sources. I don't think there are hardcore movie fans out there who who love it because Adam's a total hottie who don't know they're back on Broadway. I definitely think they've heard that now's their chance to see the movie stars live.

Heh, if I really think about it in terms of time and money and all that, it feels very silly. But I was saying this to someone the other day in a conversation about the fans who ask things like, "how did you do that?" Because the blunt reality is like, years of support and lots of cash. But in the end, the bottom line is that it has all been the greatest pleasure, you know?

I was curious about fall tour dates and found this on Larry Edoff's site:

TOUR DATES:
10.06.07 NACA Conference (promoting "Me and Larry" tour and CD), Lancaster PA
10.10.07 Southern Theatre, Columbus, OH
10.12.07 Toledo Arts Ctr., Toledo, OH
11.09.07 Blumenthal, Charlotte, NC

I'm truly hoping that they're not actually planning to name the new CD Me and Larry, although the phrasing sounds as if that might be the case. It's cute enough for the tour, but what an awful album title.
