As who in Chicago?
"I WANT HIM TO DO CHICAGO."
But Em, you don't live in Chicago.
I would actually die of sexual lust overload if I ever saw the three of them on stage together.
I loved Raul so much as The Arbiter, so I'm trying to figure out who else I'd want to play the part and simply thinking "a replacement for Raul." Since, in my mind, nobody replaces Raul, it's hard!
Adam said something somewhere about how it wasn't that weird for Cybele, considering how weird it COULD have been; he went on to clarify that the romantic storyline wasn't that graphic -- they weren't having sex, or anything.
ETA -- the show, silly! As Billy Flynn.

And he's ACTING. I think everyone knows the difference.
I can NOT picture him as Billy Flynn. The Weislessers wouldn't hire him anyway; he's not a big enough name.
I couldn't picture it when he first said it. Then I thought about it for a while, and all you need is charisma. Then you just put your own spin on it -- the guy's a bit of a con, anyway, so there's not really a set "way" he has to be, IMO.

I think nearly everyone else here would know more than me about this issue, but as I've said before, I'm really getting the vibe that he, in fact, does not want to go back to Broadway. I'm sure he likes Broadway and all, but I get the "I want some fame" (and rightfully so) feeling from him. JMO. *shrugs*
From all of the stuff I've read/heard him say recently, I get the impression that he's torn. I think somewhere, he has a desire for stardom -- who in the industry doesn't, at least a little bit, want to be a star? But people know him here, and a lot of those people love him. I have to wonder if being a *huge* star is worth having to go and rebuild that -- trying to grab people's hearts again, and hoping that lightning will strike twice. He knows what he has here (here meaning Broadway). The other fact is... I guess he has to decide between whether he wants to go after whatever dreams he has of big acting stardom, or whether he still wants to be a musician, because honestly, he's not going to find too many rock-musical movies. I'm not sure that he's sure of what he wants.

From what I can gather, he's wanted to be a star since he knew they existed. But realistically, he knows it's not going to happen. How many actors go from Broadway to Hollywood and retain the same casting status?
None.

Yeah, Em. Just to make it perfectly clear, as I have before, I don't blame him in the least if in fact he does want to be an acting "star." I think it would be horrible to see his vocal talents mostly "wasted," but hey, I'd probably want stardom as well if I were in his position. Of course, that brings up the low chances that he can really even become a film star.
I agree with all of your points. To be honest, I don't even know what *I'd* like to see him try next. Heh.
I'm just so curious for what the press release will be when his name finally pops up on the BWW headlines again.

I fear he'll pull a "Wilson Heredia", so to speak.
Just please, God, don't let it be some lame action flick. I want to see him do something with meaning, which appears to be what he wants too. But those roles are tough to come by.

I play Molokov!
I love "Soviet Machine"

I want the Danish recording so badly, but I haven't the patience to try getting something off of an obscure british website.
I don't much care for Anthony, but I love his most recent post.
*slams head into desk, away from the public eye of the main board*
This. Is. So. Unfair.
Anyway, Adam can't just drop off the planet like Wilson did; he has a family to support. Wilson didn't when he got lost.
Roles with meaning are reserved for the Hollywood Elite. *gag*

*sighs and wanders off to the no less depressing topic of homework*
I've got to study -- but this is getting interesting.
I just hope they don't regret this, after all of the crap they're taking.
*gets pillow to protect cranium*
the main board has scared me off/frustrated me today. I don't want to look, yet I keep looking.
Me too. I know I'll want to punch someone in the teeth if I look, but I still do.
*eats fist*
It's just so frustrating. I respect everyone's opinions, but I just feel the need to stick socks into some peoples mouths or something.
The main board is starting to give me headaches. *sigh*
But. Yeah. Adam! Aida was pretty cool.
*spins around in chair*
awww, I wish I had a spinny chair.
What's happening on the main board? I'm sort of afraid to look.
People are being terrible -- like, rejoicing in the lack of Golden Globe noms, on the grounds that they've dealt with the Rentheads this long, so they should get one day to party, and that they've had enough of deluded fans and cast members who like the movie.
Then there's actor involvement and some talking-back. eesh.
If I knew how to post the eye-roll icon thingy, I'd do it right now. *scowls* Stupid people.
