The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part nine — Page 132

That sounds right about the playwrite in residence-- I think the artist in residence programs are usually a year or two.
RE: Daphne's podcast, it's interesting. The interviewer makes mention of how she asked Anthony whether there were any hook ups during the original run of Rent, and Anthony of course demurred. So the interviewer (the same chatty one) asked Daphne whether there were any love matches.
Daphne replied something like, "Oh, yes, of course, that always happens. We were madly in love." But she never says *who* she was apparently in love with.
We assume it was Adam (well, I did, anyway), but no actual confirmation there...
Sorry about the taxes, Chloe. Are they in the mail?
Edit: I agree, Picturetaker-- I thought the podcast was very interesting. Daphne certainly puts it all right out there!

Very interesting about Daphne. I would assume it was Adam too - who else? I've always had a theory that "The One That Got Away" was written about Daphne. What do you all think?

Edit: Yay! Tax season is now officially closed for Chloe!!

I haven't heard the podcast yet so I can't judge, but are you sure she didn't say it with a hint of facetiousness to her voice? That reply sounds like something I'd say if I wanted to opt out of answering a question like that -- instead of saying, "Well, I can't really talk about that," I'd probably opt to say something along the lines of, "Oh my God, YES, I was COMPLETELY enamored!"
Regarding Daphne's last show: I believe Daphne was already with her now-husband at the time, but I'm sure she and Adam retained a close bond (even if it wasn't romantic at any time).

We appreciate all your links, but you have bad luck with timing. I think we were looking at those last show accounts a month or two ago. But maybe someone here didn't see them at the time.

I'm off to bed, theatre fans-- have a lovely evening & may all your tax returns yield refund checks!

ETA: Angela, I watched that video on YouTube that you referenced and the girl doesn't even pronounce his name correctly...

Lexi, good thought re: Daphne possibly being facetious. It sounded to me like she was serious, but who knows? You miss so much when working just on voice inflection. There very well could have been some serious eyerolling going on!
Interestingly, she phoned in the podcast rather than being in the studio with the interviewer. Can't blame her. I don't think I'd want to be in the same room with that interviewer either!
Edit: Chloe, thanks for the good wishes... I'm going to bed... soon... really I am...

I'll look up the lyrics to "Superstar" so I can join in the discussion!

Superstar
Superstar
Superstar
Superstar
Superstar
I laid my eyes on you
Didn't know when you would see me through
Tomorrow
Sometimes you fade away
So many clouds have passed and I still see you there
Shining
A diamond thorn in my eye
You gleam so hard it makes me cry
And yet you're so far away
Hey there superstar where ever you are you
Shine your light on me
Set my heart free
Hey there superstar
You rise up above me
And shine so bright on me
Open my heart
I thought you'd slipped away
Burning a hole through the sky where you said you would find
Your love
I loose my hope in you
That all those wishes upon you I made
Never fade
Who do you think you are
Leaving traces of stardust
When you're so far away
Hey there superstar where ever you are you
Shine your light on me
Set my heart free
Hey there superstar
You rise up above me and shine so bright on me
Open my heart
Keep open my heart
Wide open my heart
Superstar
Super superstar
Who do you think you are
Leaving traces of stardust
When you're so far
Hey there superstar where ever you are you
Shine your light on me
Set my heart free
Hey there superstar
You rise up above me
And shine so bright on me
Open my heart
Hey there superstar where ever you are you
Shine your light on me
Set my heart fee
Hey there superstar
Shine your light on me
Hey there superstar
Set my heart free
Hey there superstar
Who do you think you are
To shine your light on me
Open my heart
Keep open my heart
Keep open my heart

Notice that in "The One That Got Away," Adam writes "I can be far away, you won't be left behind."

Also, I suppose I'm just stating the obvious, but it's probably just as likely not about Adam as it is about him. It's easy to associate it with him because that's really Daphne's only past romantic relationship that the public is semi-aware of, but as a performer, it's very likely that Daphne has dated others with "superstar" qualities as well. It's like the Adam/Heather rumor in a way -- it's all almost too obvious and easy of a theory.

I'm only good at being young

I agree, but what does that necessarily have to do with the song being about Adam?
I'm sorry, I'm probably just confused!
Posted: 4/17/06 at 10:20pm
I really have no clue whether or not it's about him, but it makes for really interesting discussion.
