Okay, I finally watched the DLed Adam on E! thing(I had a mac so it opened on quicktime for me.) Downloaded it friday night, just didn't have a chance to watch it till now. Decided to attempt to transcribe what Adam said for Em and others who have had trouble watching it. If you guys want me to transcribe the rest of what was said not involving him, let me know, just may need a bit more time:
E-person: this is it.
Adam: this is it.
E: this is where it all happened.(they're in the Nederlander)
Adam: It's a lot smaller actually. It's been a long time, it's like coming back to your old high school.
E: Adam came here today for the first time in five years to give us this exclusive tour where few cameras have been before. First stop the stage.
E-person talks for a bit.
E: Adam, I hear there's this alley?
Adam: Yes. There's this alley outside umm that's very specific to this theatre where celebrities and famous people that came to see the show back in the day uhh would wait for us out in this alley cuz they wanted to meet us, which was mind-blowing to us.
E: And before long, celebrities started signing the walls while they waited(obviously at this point they're in the alley with the signings).
[E talks about Jonathan Larson and such]
Adam: It's very much his spirit and his energy that sort of [can't hear word...quick fuses? excuses?] the performance and certainly uses the performance as a [can't hear again] in the flim.
That's all he says, just wanted to share.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
