I've seen Aida twice. The first time was last year in mid-August. I knew it was closing and had just heard some of the demos Elton made for the show. I liked the music more than I thought I would and didn't want to miss out on it. I was also interested to learn that this guy Adam Pascal, whom I'd met once and seen in School of Rock, was back in it. I vaguely remembered his name from when the show opened, and when Elton was on Rosie O'Donnell once, he'd said something complimentary about him.
I really loved the show, and everyone around me seemed to be loving it too. It was so spectacularly beautiful and enjoyable on so many levels. It really got me interested in Adam too. I read in his bio about how he'd been in RENT and started looking into that, found this board on the internet, and on the spur of the moment went to see the last show.
