Well, they know I make fun like it's my job. But my mom heard the intro (she loves Hair) and was like "Well, this is the perfect song for him!" She wanted to know if there was video, after realizing that this is why I get such a kick out of the choir back-up of "he got his ASS!" She figured he probably had fun singing it.

I can't help but grin whenever I hear that line.
I made my mom put it on repeat for a while. hee.

Lost cause. I've been trying for... almost two years now. She liked him in AIDA - thought he did a good job, was cute, whatever, but she doesn't get why I love the voice.

Agh. Well... Are you going to take her to see the RENT movie?
She hasn't seen the show... so, if she still hasn't by then, I don't know what to do. I think I want her to see it on stage first, to have the full experience. I want her to be able to understand why it's so special, and why I'll probably be a wreck during the movie.

That makes sense, then. It's what I'm telling my friends who want to see the movie but haven't seen the show on stage. We're going to try to catch a bus from Chinatown right when school lets out specifically so those people can see it. ^^
I love the Chinatown bus. So cheap.

I've never taken it, actually. Any idea where I can get more information on it, Emcee?
No, but I'll look around. I know people who have done it.

Okay, I think I've found it. Apex Bus... twenty dollar round trip from Philleh to New York and back. Very awesome.
Great stuff I missed out on here, LOVE the Adam and Raul JCS ideas! Although personal physical presences I'd rather see Raul be Jesus (so tired of blond pretty Jesus's) However I would die to hear the two of them sing the music! Maybe Sara Ramierez as Magdaline?
Get your mom converted Emcee, she must learn!
Sounds good with the bus Snaps.
Nia and Em, SO funny about the Fuzzels offspring thoughts.
OhmyGod what if they made Raúl wear a blonde wig? I think I just died.
lol!
oh please no, unless they want the funniest show EVER!
He could even die his eyebrows blond!
Don't laugh at me for knowing this, but his eyebrows are actually kind of light. They could let him pass for a blonde.
It's funny, 'cause in "Hair" he sings "My toga made of blonde... biblical hair... I want hair like Jesus wore it, hallelujah I adore it..."
Meh, those aren't the exact lyrics, but you get the point.
I think Raúl in a blonde wig would be one of the greatest things ever!! Almost as good as him in a lemon costume...
I think I might laugh harder than I did at Adam during Temptation. I think there was some serious wig action there. ::snort::
He has beautiful hair - no wig!
He wore a wig in Temptation??? WHY???
I'm pretty sure somewhere in that acid trip that was Nicoli's Gospel Bus Revival, he wore a wig. But, it wasn't a real wig - it was like... drawn in cartoon form around his head.
In all seriousness Raul playing Jesus with his natural hair (not to mention his voice and charisma) would be fantastic. Also I REALLY want to see the Jesus/Judas relationship with Raul putting his "spin" on it. Even though it would just be a concert type thing I'd want to give him some kind of Tony right there.
"They'll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair"
