The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part ten — Page 110

Yeah, he himself doesn't get much press.

Ever wanted to go to sleep, and just couldn't get there?

Yeah...

aww *hugs*

You should drink some coffee. It'll wake ya up.

Nooo, stay up, Chloe! I'm totally buzzed on caffeine. My body is physically tired from standing on my feet for over eight hours, but I'm all jittery and my mind is going twenty places at once.

That description certainly seems intense, to say the least. I wish someone would have recorded all of Daphne's final show. I remember someone saying that Adam walked on stage at the beginning of the show holding Daphne's hand and barely able to walk.

Good night Sarah, sleep well.

I don't remember that, Lexi, but the description of the last show that I think we've all seen says that Daphne walked up to the stage door on Adam's arm, looking down.

I'm sorry you had such a long day, it sounds exhausting.

That girl, the one w/ the website w/ the link that Chloe posted, sounded so angry. Like Rent seemed like one of the worst things that happened to her, after she realized what she had done w/ her life.

I bookmarked a site that described Adam & Fredi's last how, Idina's last, and Daphne's last. & other notable shows.

BTW, Good night (or should I say morning) everybody
interesting descriptions & stuff. check it out :-)

Poor Adam, is actually what went through my mind, but that was funny too.

Thanks Angela, that was the description I was thinking of. I didn't think of her as being angry so much as reflecting on both the good and bad things in the experience, and ultimately finding more good, even though she'd had a sort of backlash against it for a while.

Speaking of other shows, I listened to Last 5 Years and also have mixed emotions. I was impressed with the music and especially the lyric writing, but I didn't like the characters much. I can see why this wouldn't be a role for Adam, as Jamie is almost the anti-Adam.

Hee! That vaguely reminds me of his comment on my picture-taking habits... but I hope I didn't sound THAT annoying. He seemed genuinely amused, though. I hope.

Hmm... to L5Y. I'm not sure what I think on that one.

Hehe. True, I hope! The "just in case" picture thing was like, the one time we've really ever exchanged that kind of... fun banter sort of thing. I enjoyed it.

Oy, that post! "Do u know that back in August, when I first met u, I called u
hot?" and he said, "No, but thanx anyway!" Heh.

I feel the same way that you do about Last Five Years, Chloe. I admire the music as being well-written, but it definitely doesn't speak to me on a personal level. I think that's in part because I feel that it's such a one-sided story with the vast majority of the blame for the breakup of the relationship on Jamie. That results in Jamie being well-developed but almost completely unsympathetic, and Cathy being sort of flat as a character and coming across only as the victim. It is about the breakup of a marriage, yes, so neither character is going to come out looking great, but I feel that it would've worked better if it had been more balanced. I also think that Jamie's songs are stronger than Cathy's overall.

I can almost see Adam as Jamie, actually.... I agree that he's much warmer and more likable than the character, but it would be so interesting to see him try it.

Oh look, it's Ashley! ::loves her:: (I will respond to your PM!! I've been so distracted...)

Anyway, I've discussed this with Ashley privately, but I thought it's an interesting point -- JRB had to either make his character look like the big bad guy so it didn't seem he wrote a musical about how horrible his ex-wife was, making himself look somewhat bad in the process, or he had to make the characters more "even," also making himself look somewhat bad in the process for shoving blame on his ex-wife. I think I'd like the musical a bit more if Jamie didn't just come off as an absolute jerk for the entire show and both parties shared more of the blame, although I suppose it's possible that JRB did indeed bear 90% of the blame with regards to the breakup of his marriage.

(And yes, Ash, I copied that from a PM to you. )

Oooh, I want to see Adam sing "Shiksa Goddess" -- I think he'd do a marvelous job with that song! I'd love to see his interpretation of Jamie's last two solo songs, too, even though they'd be quite a stretch for him.

Sorry I missed your post at first, Ashley, but as you see, great minds were thinking alike.

I feel sure that Adam could sing all those songs, and it would certainly be interesting to hear him. I'm just not sure he could be that character, though who knows, maybe someone who goes against the grain is what would balance things out better.
