Adam Pascal interview on Broadway.com

THANKS for the link, I am off to read!!!!

Okay, that was a very interesting article for Adam, I always love to hear what he has to say about his career, both in theater and as a solo artist.


Whatever impressions people have of me, I'd like to play against that. Of course I know not to go too far against it that I can't pull it off.

This quote just killed me, he has really came a long way since Rent and I am sooo happy about that!!! I am really glad that he is finally given in and really embraced musicals, I know in the beginning he was always quoted as saying he would never do traditional theater and now it seems that is what he is holding out for, and I couldn't be happier!

Also, hearing him talk about Civilian, makes me want Nov. 2nd to get here even worse than before if that is even possible!!

I would love to see him take over the part of Fiyero. Would love to hear him sing the duet "As Long as You're Mine". But I don't think he would go for it.

And so you may get to the song and the audience goes, "Oh I love this song," but it's not really going to tell you anything about the story because it wasn't written that way. I think that when you take these song catalogues and then you try and force it into a traditional musical theater form…that form is hard enough on it's own. I have to just sort of stay true to who I am and what I find interesting. Going back to Cabaret lit a fire under me to want to do more traditional things.

Exactly. That is what I've been trying to say!!! And I agree. I don't think he'd do Fiyero because it's too "of, course". But I DO think if Menzel approached him about it, he might, because he seems to have a strong personal connection with all the original renters.

And how awesome would it have been to see Adam as Seymour??? I would have never even thought about that, had he not mentioned it. ADAM! DO THE ROAD SHOW!!! lol.

that was a great interview!! i can't wait for the nj concert!!!! adam as seymour - ::sigh:: i love the version of him singing suddenly seymour from the best of broadway on bravo (ok mandy moore wasn't great but he totally made up for it!!!!)

can you see it now - anthony and adam fighting for the part!!!! lol

That was a wonderful interview. I really enjoyed it!

For the record, Butz is DEFNITELY the poor man's Pascal. Pft, no contest.

Vocally I think he can pull off Seymour. He sounds very rock when he wants to, but he knows how to work with his voice, as well. Have you heard 'the one who got away' from MP? He keeps the tone really light in that song. Whether he can act the part, now that would be interesting to see.

I've always liked Adam, but he really comes off well in this article. He's matured a lot from his Rent days, and his head is screwed on pretty straight. And he's honest. I have no appreciation for sugarcoaters or people who are always trying to hard to sound 'right'. And I love the way he's come to appreciate musical theatre, he really was arrogant and looked down on it back in Rent.

Fiyero is a horribly underwritten part, Adam can do better. And the music is far to 'eh'. I wonder what a musical by him would sound like though... that intrigues me.

I think Pascal is a poor man's Butz---Norber can sing and act circles around Adam. But I still like Adam anyway, and I can't wait to see what he does next!

I think Norbie's a better actor, but Adam's a better singer and has a better presence.

And is much hotter.

I don't think it's Schele. I think people didn't really like Simone, right?

TypeATiff--you took the words right outta my post!

I think there were many Diva problems with Heather in the original Aida. It always seemed that Sherie Rene Scott had a little bit of a thing with it..

I always loved Sherie more then Heather...I'm so on her side!
