The Official Adam Pascal Love thread — Page 686

I hate Wizard of Oz..

ooo heavy drugs.. me likes those...

Nothing is wrong with you.. We all do that..

I tend to cry much more easily on my period though..

---

awww!!

It's weird on the "real" CD, especially. Like, I expect to hear the musical transitions that were cut and stuff, because I literally memorized the entire show.

*sobs*

It really is amazing how fast this thread grows.

This was some posts back but, yeah, when I finally got Model Prisoner it was only at Borders and the only copy there (lucky me!) and Civilian I had to buy at Joe's Pub on the 27th because it was no where to be found in Westchester. I seriously asked in every cd store in the county. Some of them said they had ordered some copies and they'd be in the next week and they never were. I should've mentioned this to Adam's publicist with the boobs hangin out, but they kindof intimidated me... She was really nice though. :)

Allie, you have to remember that story. You don't remember "boobs" and that whole bit the night of the second Joe's Pub gig?

That woman frightened me. And I don't just mean because of her non-shirt.

I bought MP in the summer of... '03, I think, and then pre-ordered Civilian. I got them both from Sh-k-Boom. Then I bought more Civilian and Kean. And at Tower Records.

Yeah, I'm cool.

It was 11/27. I actually own one. I gave the extra to etheb, and picked up one for my charming brother.

---

awwww, I love that song. I wish you could've seen the grin on my face when he did that. Perrrfect.

ha, boobs.

---

My face hurt after Kean- I was smiling the whole time... that night rocked. I would have loved to hear "Maybe this Time" by Adam.

Adamaddict- I feel your pain. There are NO copies of Civilian or MP in Westchester to be found. Ugh!

This seems like a good time to show you guys what someone who was there in the audience for the Aida accident wrote at the time, though I should point out that as far as I know, they didn't land on their heads or get concussions. Maybe it just looked that way from where this guy was seated. Also, as he mentions, in Chicago they sang a reprise of Not Me in the tomb, which was cut for New York. This must have been terrifying:

AIDA The New Disney.. Elton John/Tim Rice musical is currently in Chicago in out of town tryouts coming to Bway in April... The 2 leads are Adam Pascal (Rent) and Heather Headley (Lion King)

OK this is what happened..... When Adam and Heather got into the box (tomb) they began to be lifted in to the air (Which looks dumb to begin with). Both the actors were in a strong embrace in each others arms singing the reprise of "Not Me" on the right side of the box. They got 20 feet up and there was this horrible creaking sound.. Then the box starts swinging uncontrollably and snaps away from the cable.

They start falling and Heather lets out a blood curdling scream as they fall out of the box right before it hits the stage floor.. They land on the stage HEAD first still intertwined. The audience has no idea this is not supposed to happen.

Then Bob Falls (the director) comes on stage and asks is there a doctor in the house. The audience is dead silent. Adam and Heather are laying on the stage both unconscious for about 20 min waiting for the ambulance. The crew was using pieces of the set as stretchers for them.

After 20 min Heather finally twitched her foot but Adam still was not moving at all. People and Crew thought they were dead. They hit their heads very hard. The entire cast went to the hospital waiting to hear about their condition.

As of now they both have VERY bad concussions and will be there for a few days but, that's all the info that's available now. I am sure Playbill will have more on it in the next few hrs.. Lets just all say a prayer for them and hope that they are OK...

Yes, absolutely horrifying. Adam has said that they weren't actually unconscious, just couldn't move at all for a long time. Sherie Scott said she was just off stage changing for her scene that immediately follows, and couldn't bear to look at the stage for a while, she was so afraid of what she would see.

She and Adam describe the whole thing (with a lot of jokes) at the end of their joint interview on the Chatterbox video, and Adam retold the story in a lot shorter form during his second appearance.

That post certainly made it sound terrifying. But it *was* lucky that they got away with some bad bruises, no concussions or anything like that.

"they began to be lifted in to the air (Which looks dumb to begin with)"

The way he wrote that made me laugh. I remember reading an interview with Heather Headley where she spoke of how beautiful that concept was, of them rising up to the sky. Different people react differently to things, I suppose .
