At the moment, officially, through April.
Well, Memphis will be around, yeah. And I hear the tour is great and well-cast. Frankly, I guess it depends on your level of feeling toward Adam as a performer. I've been a die-hard fan of his since I was in high school (and now I'm well into my 20s), and I don't live in New York anymore so I've had to choose carefully when I get a few days in town. I've given up opportunities to see a few other, newer things to get to go see Adam play Huey more than once. Trust me, it wasn't an easy decision, but I haven't regretted the choice at all. There's something kind of unexplainably wonderful for me about getting to see him do a musical, and ultimately, that won out. But... that's just me.
My feeling, as a fellow fan with the biggest bias on the planet, is that if you like him and you really like his voice, it's worth it; he gets to show off his pipes and he sounds incredible, and I think the role is a great fit for him. It's a fun, expected performance that's really different from anything you've seen him do before. I had seen Memphis when it first opened, and while I had a good time, was generally pretty indifferent toward it. But having gone back to see Adam, I've actually really come to like the show a lot; his performance made a big difference for me, and so if you really dig his work, obviously it'll impact how you feel about the experience as a whole. I'm sure it would still be solid and fun somewhere else, but that's my two cents.
A work of art is an invitation to love.

But whoever it was was great!
