I put AIDA on a little bit ago, and I was doing just fine until Written in the Stars. I had to turn it off.

What the hell is wrong with me? *cries*

aww don't worry. I was playing 'elaborate lives' and then 'the gods love nubia' at my piano lesson and i started to sob just before i played the melody of 'elaborate lives'. At the end of both songs i banged on the piano because i was upset. Yeah...i got in trouble for that. lol.

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*

I hate it when I expect to hear music that isn't there... like on the RENT CD. after contact I always expect to hear the "seasons of love" reprise with the Angel monologues and it never plays...

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. :)

Her boobs intimidated you? Heehee...

Well, there are many other music stores in the city! I'll check them all if I have to!

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.

[Allie]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 5:56pm

No, I don't remember the story! I may have to go back and look for it, though. What date was this again?

So how many copies of each do you yourself actually own? You got a few for other people, didn't you, em?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 5:59pm

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

I found it! Page 431. Oh, boobs. Hahaha! Creepy, when I was reading your review, Maybe This Time came on my computer. Alas, it was Liza, not Adam, but still.

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

ha, boobs.

[Allie]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 6:58pm

I would have loved to have seen that! I can imagine the grin. Probably similar to my whole viewing of Rent. My face hurt when it was over.

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 7:08pm

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!

[amasis]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 7:09pm

Well, yeah. That's probably the main reason they changed the design. I don't think the Broadway one was suspended at all, come to think of it.

That's what I was saying; it *was* the reason they changed it. I was just pointing out that the change was apparently implemented immediately, while the production was still in Chicago, so there was never anytime after the accident where they had to get into a suspended tomb. (Adam said he wouldn't have gotten back in it even if they had asked him, which I don't think they did anyway).

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...

Oh my GOD! That would have absolutely terrifying. I can only imagine... for both the actors and everyone who watched it happen.

[Chloe]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 9:42pm

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.

[Allie]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 9:49pm

WITH A LOT OF JOKES?! I'd be traumatized for a long time after an experience like that.

[amasis]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 10:00pm

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 .
