awwwwwwww! I wish I could say I've had a flirty conversation with Adam. But that would be TOTALLY wrong of me, and I honestly don't think I'm capable of it. He's totally grateful for his fans who support him, even if they act strangely sometimes.
I can definitely picture him answering that question, smiling all the while.
EDIT: NY State of Mind on my Adam = HEAVEN!!!!!!!
!!!!! So amazing.
Sweet paragraph from playbill.com:
Some shows go out with a bang — Aida went out with a flash! During the final scene of the long-running Disney musical — as Radames (Adam Pascal) and Aida (Deborah Cox) were descending into the sand for eternity — what seemed like dozens of cameras sent flashes lighting up the Palace Theatre. Pascal even turned to the audience to offer a "what-in- the-world-is-happening" glance, which reminded me of an early Sunset Boulevard preview when Glenn Close stopped the show after being blinded by flashes as she descended the lengthy mansion staircase. The Tony-winning actress, in full Norma Desmond garb, said to the audience, "We can continue with the show or we can have a press conference." The crowd burst into applause, and the flashes ceased . . . As for Aida's final performance, all of the actors were in top form: Pascal's rock-edged voice remains a wonder, Lisa Brescia provided a well-sung and nuanced Amneris, and Cox — who I admit I had never seen nor heard of before she took on the role — impressed as the ill-fated Nubian princess. If she doesn't possess quite the powerhouse voice of the role's creator, Heather Headley, I found her acting more subtle and, ultimately, more affecting. I was also impressed by the beauty of Eric LaJuan Summers' voice, who plays Mereb and joined Cox for one of the show's best songs, "How I Know You." Other highlights: Brescia's belty "My Strongest Suit," Cox's terrific "Dance of the Robe," the Cox-Pascal duet "Written in the Stars" and the first-act finale "The Gods Love Nubia."
.... I guess seeing all of this stuff just keeps reminding me of the finality of it all. AIDA, I <3 you.

That is a good article.
::tear::
Aida was the first Broadway show I ever saw.
I didn't log on last night, and I see you guys had quite a good time.
Chrys, glad you're enjoying my icon. I did take it last summer at a Sh-K-Boom show Adam was a part of, and which I'm very glad I went to, even though I went by myself since no one wanted to go with me. Go figure!!
I laughed when I read:
"Pascal even turned to the audience to offer a "what-in- the-world-is-happening" glance,"
More like a "knock it the f*** off" look.

Yes. Because playbill can print that!! They should've described it as a "this is how I look at my KIDS when I'm angry" look... or just "death stare."
*looks at icon*
mmmmmmmmm....
"[Pascal] broke character and turned his head away and made a disgusted face at the audience."
"Pascal even turned to the audience to offer a "what-in- the-world-is-happening" glance,"
"Adam was totaly pissed off as hell giving the audience a dirty look."

One small event, lasting about 2 seconds? And endless ways of how it can get reported...
<--- has just returned from putting out MORE fires on other message boards....
Amasis is right. That's the thing of it... journalism can do crazy things.
ooh, what boards?

haha - well, it was on the AP.org boards, but it got deleted. There's something on Jill's Aida board. I don't post on CB, but last I looked they hadn't gotten to it yet.

Emcee, what got deleted? PM me, ok? I hate to miss these things. And what about CB?
Undiscovered, thosen pictures rock. Where did you get the backside one from?
I would flirt with Adam if he weren't quite a bit older than me... way, way older.
I checked out Jill's board. I really need to get over there and read some of the threads I haven't read yet. I was away from that site almost all summer. Not sure why. No sense in checking out ap.org if stuff has been deleted, and I've never even been to CB site, so I guess I'm as caught up as I'm going to get at this point.
insomniak - check your e-mail.

Insomniak, it wasn't big. A new person posted about the Post article and said some mean things about Adam. I posted a rather nasty response. The pictures Undiscovered posted are from the big AIDA book. I scanned them and she put them online for me.
I just heard that there was some traffic on 47th today. Why, you ask? They're taking down the AIDA billboards. I think I'm gonna head down in a bit to say my final goodbyes.
Is the big AIDA book as much worth owning as the big RENT one is? I might just have to get it...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE the RENT one to bits. The AIDA one is really good, too. If you're willing to pay the money (I got mine for $15, but they're normally around $40), it's SO worth it!
Where do you recommend getting it?
SO SO SO SO worth it. Oh, and NTG, I met Broadwaystar2b today!
AHHHHH!!!! PM and tell me all!
I need Adam to come and save me from the scary hurricanes...yes...my Adam will come...and he will scoop me up in those muscular arms of his and carry me through the flood waters to safety...::swoon::
This is making me loopy...
LOL!
Perhaps we New Yorkers should tell him his assistance is needed in Florida - lol!
Oh, you're down by the hurrricanes? Poor baby!
Yes, poor, poor me. ::wallows in self-pity:: Anytime you guys would like to lend me Adam...that would be awesome.
If that man's whereabouts were up to me....

Oh man, I'm sorry for you. It won't be much longer before hurricane season is over though. Listen to Aida and you'll pull through.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone asked Adam if he's missing a rib. He's probably not, but I would love to know if he were.
