The Official Adam Pascal Love thread — Page 627

Something you'd like to say?

I think I'll start trying to come up with questions *now* - it might just take me that long. I can ask if he's got plans to perform at home, I guess.

*bounces*

And, at least I know he's friendly.

"Who cares about Adam??? Now tell me, is Idina going to be on today????"

Even in the context of Wicked, QM, I didn't think this was the person you cared about. I hope she's fine, though.

Chloe - about his RENT and AIDA TV appearances, no, he never did appear nervous, at least to my recollection. Even when he appeared by himself, like when he sang 'Glory' on the Rosie O'Donnell show, he seemed perfectly relaxed. Although, again, I'm going by memory, so I could be wrong .

I love how Emcee is already planning for what she's wearing in 2 - 3 months. But better be prepared, I guess. You're going to bring him the spork picture, Emcee?

amasis - it'll give me something to look forward to when I'm working my butt off this semester. And you KNOW I'll change my outfit like 86 thousand times the day of, regardless of any prior decisions anyway.
As for the picture... I'm tempted, but probably not. I want this to be normal. Maybe I'll e-mail it to him after the fact....

Emcee - I know what you mean. You'll decide on something, and then wake up the morning of wondering why on earth, etc. I like the idea about the picture afterward. Might make it less awkward, no?

Chloe - I've been into theatre for a long, long time, but I almost didn't see RENT OBC and went in there really skeptical *because* of the hype. But their performance was incredible, and you already know what I think of Adam's voice. I stopped breathing when I heard it the first time. I know how you feel about missing performances, though. I got a chance to see AIDA with Heather, but look at what I've missed since I moved away! My biggest regret is missing Cabaret. If I had known he was going to do it, I would have NOT left the US. It's all a conspiracy, I swear. *huffs*

Yeah, Emcee, you'll try on dozens of outfits and finally end up saying to yourself, "why did I wear THIS?" in the end. I've so been there. Spork picture later makes a lot of sense. Once he's talked with you a little he'll know what an intelligent, sensible person you are, but if the spork picture comes out right away, it may give him the wrong impression.

Amasis, so I guess you left NY just a couple of years ago. It sounds like you're very involved with the relief efforts in Indonesia at the moment, but do you have any plans to return? (And why were you here to begin with - school?) When did you see Rent? I'd be interested in any other details you can dredge up. That is, if you ever finish answering all my other questions.

Emcee - he has a sense of humor; he'll get a kick out of the picture, I'm sure. But yeah, do it afterward. Then again, who knows, perhaps he'll greet you with a spork of his own when you show up for your little visit. .

Chloe - I actually lived in Boston, but I went to NY all the time. The place I worked for has an NY office, so I went for work sometimes, and also I went there on my own a lot just to see shows. Yeah, pretty involved in Indonesia right now, but I do hope to return eventually, and New York is the preferred destination. As for why I was in the US, I went there at first as an exchange student in high school and ended up staying for college, grad school, and finally for work. I consider the US home, even though my family is here.

I saw RENT... a couple of times in '96... and a couple of times in '97... It was a good thing RENT was almost completely sung-through, since whenever Adam had to 'say' a line, it went out completely wooden. But the emotion he expressed when he sang was unbelievable. I haven't seen RENT too many times since, but none of the other Rogers I saw came even close.

I've been having problems navigating the site tonight - either it's all clogged up because of the Idina situation or my computer is acting up, as it sometimes does.

Anyway, Amasis, I gathered his spoken lines weren't so great from the Rent CD. He's really made progress since then, as Cabaret demonstrates, but even in those last Aida performances there was quite a difference between the few lines on the CD and how he did them at the end. Even something as simple as "Yes, in a way" during "Enchantment Passing Through" had a lot more nuance and feeling behind it.

It's definitely the site that's slow. I'm having the same issues, and I know it's not my computer!

adamaddict - should be two tapes. One has just Adam (the most recent interview) and it will probably have someone else on it. The other tape is the Adam and Sherie interview, plus someone else's as well. All of the tapes have two separate shows on them.

And amasis - Glory... *passes out* That's all.

No problem... I did this, it's my job to explain it! Over the summer, someone on here was bashing Adam, and insomniak said that in her humble opinion, he could have chemistry with a spork. I was VERY tired, and said that I was picturing Adam down on his knees, singing Elaborate Lives to a spork. Someone said I should bring him a spork and ask him to sign it the following week at AIDA, and I read "sign" and "sing to." In the week that followed up to actually seeing Adam, the whole thing escalated, and I ended up bringing a giant salad-server spork with me to the show. I had Adam pose for a picture with it.

*feels embarassed*
