The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part two — Page 359

Oh sure - I didn't mean to imply I didn't know the story now, but I was pretty confused when I first started reading the original Adam thread, that's all. (I also have the picture, thanks! )

ETA: Ponine, I remember you being on that original thread too. ::starts to feel nostalgic:: God, it's been almost a year since I first saw Adam on stage.

I eventually read the original thread about it, I think. Couldn't believe my luck in finding so many other fans online.

PS - thinking about how it's been almost a year since I saw Aida, I decided to look up the original thread. Another anniversary is coming up, of course:

A very special birthday indeed! (And the day Diva sees Raúl!!)

haha, the movie? Did you ever watch it as a kid? The first time I saw it was like... this past fall. I was so confused.

But yes, Me Ole Bamboo IS in the show. Raúl is absolutely electrifyng; he can really, really dance. Gah, you're gonna love it.

---

heh. He just looks so freaking happy when he does it. He dances in the Toots Sweets scene, as well. That's about it for the really... conventional musical theatre dancing he'll do, though there's a tiny break in You Two. He'll do a kind-of dance at the end when he's the doll, though, and the fight scene = HOT.

'cause it is!

And I promise after this last comment on hotness, I shall not spoil you any further! There's a scene (a rather chaotic one) where he runs into this big group of chorus boys, they grab him, pick him up in unison and help him do a big flip. It's ridiculously attractive.

Wow, what a build up! Diva's not going to be able to stand the wait if you tell her too much more.

*grin!*

I'm trying to re-locate the various links I used to have bookmarked before my computer crashed. Here's one I just came across:

"observe.... and be amazed."

I get all warm and fuzzy from that article. Then I turn into a big blob of emotional goo.

*turns into more goo*

That's one of the things I really love about him; that he's the real deal, with the training to boot. There aren't many people like him, at all. You can see it immediately in the way he acts, though - over-the-top without feeling pretentious or forced - theatrical, but still with just enough sense of reality.

I remember reading a NY Times article about him when he went into Cabaret. He obviously made a huge impression in that. It's an ideal role for someone with his approach.

Speaking of which - I found THE most cracked out photo EVER. It's a picture of Raúl WITH Riedel. I mean, I'd assume they were both just playing nice for the camera, and that Raúl was too nice to flip Riedel the finger as Alan Cumming had so charmingly done, but I saw it, and yelled at my computer something like "get your hands off of him!!" Un momento, I shall post it.

It's things like that, though, that make me scared to think about being a critic. I know everyone has their favorites, and it would be perfectly fine to be slightly biased - and of course, I'd never, ever touch one of my men with a negative word, but... it's so easy to take what he says to heart.
