Completely hypothetically speaking, could anyone see Adam in L5Y? I know it'll never happen, but I think he would be an interesting (in a good way) choice for Jamie.
Yes, I have (thanks to you, I think ), and I thought it was amazing as well.
I wouldn't automatically see it either, Amber, but that's why I said it would be rather interesting. I think it would be a bit out of his comfort zone, voice-wise, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Well, for frame of reference, you know Norbert did it, right? I think he would sound fine on it, but like others have said, he wouldn't be the first idea to pop into my mind. It's contemporary, but doesn't really fit into a "category," because JRB's stuff is so weirdly complex and eclectic.
It's a strange thought, I honestly can't think of anyone but Norbert doing that roll, but I think Adam would give something different to the character that would be really cool to watch.
Yes, I know Norbert did it. And yeah, I think his voice would sound fine, but like you mentioned, it's just not the type of voice you immediately associate with the role.
Chloe, I think it would be a bit out of his comfort zone with both range (acting range, that is) and style of music. It's a very emotionally bare, stripped-down show.
Not that there seems to be a snowball's chance in hell of the opportunity arising, but I'd still like to see Adam try Macheath in 3Penny. He's just have to ramp up his death stare and ramp down his natural sweetness a bit.
(I don't usually correct people, but a everyone seems to be making this mistake lately. When talking about a dramatic part, the word is "role" rather than "roll." Also, half the population don't seem to realize that crying loudly is "bawling" rather than "balling.")

It is, and it's a show that, while enjoyable live, you're not missing too much by just listening to the cast recording. I can send it to you later, if you'd like.
