That sounds promising.
Yeah, I think we'd probably get stoned to death if we tried to rewrite JCS with Jesus/Judas sexual tension. Freddie and Anatoly, on the other hand... Florence, pssh.
I don't get *why* Adam doesn't like it, though. An aversion to most musical theatre? It seems like it should be totally his thing, with the more rock-influenced score.

I'm guessing this will have Raul cast as Anatoly, right?
Oh god - add me to the infirmary list. Yesterday I was feeling kind of achy, then when I went to bed I started to have chills, then nausea. Yes, it's stomach flu. I HATE throwing up! Right now I'm having the first food since last night, some milk and cereal, but I still have a slight fever and a lot of aches and pains. I feel like crap.
I don't think Adam likes ALW in general.
As far as the OSG memory problem goes, I bet he learned it wrong in the first place, got an incorrect version in his head and now has those circuits permanently crossed.
I'm sorry that you're sick Chole. Feel better!
I'm back until my roommate's video card screws up, then I'm going to bed. Today has been so draining. My computer is pretty dead, and it wouldn't let me back-up my files. Everything will be closed tomorrow, so I can't get it fixed.
Oh, no!! Feel better soon, Chloe. I hate that.
Even with hating ALW, though, JCS isn't like... Phantom of the Opera or something. He NEEDS to record "Heaven On Their Minds."
But of course, Amber.
Edit: That's horrible, Sarah. It's a virus, you said?

I really don't like ALW, but I'm enjoying JCS.
Yeah, I think we'd probably get stoned to death if we tried to rewrite JCS with Jesus/Judas sexual tension.
Stoned to death? Please. God himself would smite you first.
*makes room in ICU for Chloe* Feel better!
*hugs Sarah* Good luck with your computer! We'll miss you.
I'm not sure it is anymore. After 4 scans nothing showed up. My roommate said that it's amazing my computer hasn't crashed yet. I've had it for 2 1/2 years.
Wow. Sorry and feel better to everyone sick!
When was the last time Adam discussed his aversion to JCS? I'm just curious because he did mention how he tried to avoid/get away from musical theatres for years but now he's grown up--so I'm curious how recent it is he said that. Not that I'm saying it means if it was not too recent he would definitely do it, but maybe at one point he wouldn't be totally against it.
Then again, I suppose it wouldn't make much difference if it was an overall aversion to Webber musicals.
I miss you all too. I'm going through bww/aim withdrawal.

Just making sure Ah, lets all take a moment for that thought...
I get to go home tomorrow morning...YAY! I guess I should get my stuff together? Nah
Also, if my roommate reads me one more "warning" email about gangs, rapists, whatever, I might hurt her. She gets SO worked up about it...chill...don't be stupid...its not difficult. They're usually full of crap anyways...
I hope that your computer works itself out, Sarah.
Thanks everyone. Some of those warnings are sensible and others fall into the urban legends category, but there's certainly no point in getting all worked up. Just take sensible precautions.

Exactly. Sensible, I fear, is a word my roommate isn't aware of...
I realized I never actually talked about my peanut butter chocolate cups from last night. Basically, they looked like a 1st graders art project, but they taste good!
Everyone (and their computers) needs to get well...it's Spring...the season of life :)
Stoned to death? Please. God himself would smite you first.
True. Might still be worth it, though. *mentally weighs pros and cons*
I hope it's fixed soooon, Sarah!
Me too. If you hear one the news of the slaying of desktop computers, you all know nothing. I am about to go all Office Space on my computer. Updated On: 4/13/06 at 10:51 PM
It must be very frustrating, Sarah.
Here's what Adam said back in 2000 during a Broadway.com Q&A:
I am a 16-year-old aspiring actor who has seen you in both Rent and Aida (I saw it three times) When you are done in Aida I think that you should go out for Jesus Christ Superstar. You would be an amazing Judas. I went to see it and I could picture you as the part. -Steve
Adam responds:
Maybe you could picture me because the guy playing Judas looks exactly like me! I don't know what to say to that. I don't like that musical. It's nothing I would ever want to do.
That's unfortunate.
I think it's just that there probably aren't that many actors out there with that particular type of voice, and Adam has the voice that's perfect for it. And there aren't many parts written for voices like his (clearly). It would just be a nice match.
Edit: Eek, I just thought of the scary (but probably very real) possibility of Jesus/Judas slash.
Updated On: 4/13/06 at 10:57 PM
All right, I'm going back to bed - all this typing is wearing me out!
There is Jesus/Judas slash on ff.net, if anyone cares.
Alright I'm going to bed. My roommate's room is boring.
*clings to Sarah's leg*

WRQ, Adam said he didn't like JCS in 2000 (I believe), which would be right around the same time that he said he wouldn't play Glory in concert. So... things change, but if he didn't like the musical the first time, I can't imagine why he'd listen to it again and change his opinion.
Regarding ALW: Adam likes Phantom, actually, but didn't like the movie. I'm not sure how he feels about the rest of ALW, though.
Mandi... is nothing sacred (literally!)?!
ETA: Ok, apparently Chloe answered WRQ's question before me. Nevermind.
