Siamese, All are welcome to share in the Adam love..
Why do a considerable amount of people feel that he's an egotistical jerk?
Ooh, I've never heard that one. He was sweet as could be when I met him.
(And welcome!)
We're always glad to welcome new Adam fans. I'm not sure about where that reputation comes from, and maybe someone who's been around longer can answer better, but I'll put in my 2 cents. First of all, some Rentheads got angry with him for ducking out of the theater and not doing the stage door thing. They thought he was being a diva, but my impression is that he's something of an introvert and the whole crazy fan situation started to freak him out.
The other reason doesn't have anything to do with anyone's personal encounter (or lack of one) with him, but with things he's said in interviews. He's extremely candid at times. The most recent example is when the NY Times ran a story on the Rent movie cast. Adam said he was looking into doing more film work because the material being offered on Broadway was atrocious. That provoked something of a firestorm on the main board here, with people accusing him of ingratitude and defending Broadway shows.
He later clarified in a Playbill interview that he was only talking about what was being offered to him, which those of us who know something about him had inferred all along, but I wonder if many of the people who initially got so angry with him read that. (You should look it up, it's very good.)
Finally, he has a rather imposing aura about him, which translates into killer stage presence, but some people interpret it as arrogance.
And there you have it. Chloe is our resident information source.. hehe
What's up Chloe? Long time no talk..
Hi, Siamese!
He is wonderful and very sweet in my rose-colored glass tainted, humble opinion.
Hey Cam, I'm doing well, how about you? And thanks for the vote of confidence, though I feel like there are older (less recent) fans who might know more about this.
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!!!
I auditioned for our school's Broadway variety show, and I got in, and I got a solo and I'm HAPPY!!!! *falls on the floor dead*
Oh, and welcome, Siamese. *waves from the floor*

Stepping in to tip my hat to Miss Chloe, who so perfectly summed up the unsubstantiated arguments presented by the Adam's personality haters.
Congratulations, Atrias.

Hey, all.
I'll put those chips on my to-try list. Atrias, what is that thing in your avatar?
Broadway Star Joined: 6/20/05
You've had them, Em? I'm obsessed with them.
They're like hummus, nia. Addictive.
Thanks Nia - I was just thinking today how much you're missed here so it's good to hear from you.
Congratulations, Atrias! Champagne all around...

Hey, everyone!
I'm a Ruffles BBQ with dill pickle dip kind of girl, myself. Not quite as healthy sounding, but SO good.
I love Lay's Barbecue potato chips, but they're so bad for your skin.
*pats the lemur* I'm rather addicted to sour cream and onion potato chips of any variety.

Ah, hummus. My mouth is watering...
Raisins are very addictive too. I can chain-inhale them.
Chloe, thanks. Allie, I missed that avatar.
I WISH I could eat sour cream and onion chips. They always smell so wonderful.
Hummus.
I'm craving EVERYTHING and then some today. I don't know what to eat first.

So I thought I COMPLETELY failed my business exam - I didn't know what I was doing more than half of the test.
I got a B!
I could not be happier!
