The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part ten — Page 190

I'm glad you didn't end up losing everything after all, Lexi.

I'm glad the Sweeney excursion seems to be working out! I think that all of you who can go definitely should. (And Emcee, now that you know Company doesn't start until nearly December, you have longer to save up. ) Hehe, I love being a bad influence.

Hehe, they're talking about my state on The Daily Show.

You can come with us, if you'd like!

Day 2 of tech week down! Glad the 'Sweeney' excursion seems to be shaping up for some of you. Looks like another slow day around here...

So kind of Adam-related.

My mom and my brother saw Rent for the first time today. They both loved it. I'm so, so happy. My mom wants to see it again, to pick up the things she missed this time.

That's wonderful, glad to hear it Emcee.

I'm so glad that your mom liked it Em. The first time my mom saw the movie she said to me "Which one is the guy you're always talking about?" I pointed him out to her and she said, "Wow, you're right he really is good looking"

Heh. I saw my mom and brother afterwards, and it was wonderful. She loved Chris Hanke, didn't feel so much love for Tim. She felt nothing for Roger, she said, which is just... not good at all. She thought Antonique was great, as were Karmine, who was playing Maureen, and Justin Johnson (Angel). She said after seeing the movie cast, though, this felt like she was watching the wrong people, and sometimes like she was watching a high school production in comparison.

She said she felt almost like she knew it going in; listening to the music by virtue of having me around, having seen the movie. She really embraced it far more than I thought she would.

I think she allowed them to get ingrained that way because they were the first people she saw play it and because she knows I love them so much.... and they were damned good. If she had first seen, say, this cast, I don't know that she'd regard them that way at all.

I'm not sure if she felt nothing for Roger because of how she is, or if Tim is just not giving a great performance. She said he had no charm as an actor, and just was not believable at all. I have to ask more specifically what she meant by that, but I guess just not believable as someone who is slipping that way. She said she felt that Antonique really carried the Mimi/Roger storyline and that Tim was just sort of there.

I'm glad your mom liked the show, Em! That's great.


I really like Tim now. The first time I saw him he was a little too rough for me (it was also one of his first performances), but when I saw him again, maybe a couple of weeks ago, I felt like he was much better and that he grew into the part. Who knows, it could have been me. He's not the greatest Roger.

I also really like Karmine. I saw her as Mimi the last time I saw the show..and wow, what a voice! I liked her better than Antonique to tell you the truth. I saw Karmine in yesterday in Bryant Park at the Anthony Rapp reading event and she sang Take Me Or Leave Me. She really got into the part and she is a true performer. Excellent. Not to mention, she was very sweet and talkative at the stage door. I was talking to her about dance and where she takes classes and what-not (she takes classes at BDC if anyone was curious).

..i'm really rambling on now..sorry!
