songanddanceman2 - I think most people would have understood it if Mr. Pascal was constantly bashed about his performances but this was one instance. Almost everyone on SMASH with the exception of Megan Hilty was routinely criticized every week for 2 TV seasons. Chad Kimball (Memphis) was another performer who off the top of my head constantly got criticized for his performance. Finally, was there any "up" side in Mr. Pascal doing this rant. He came of looking like a jerk to most people on this site and had to remove his comments from his own FB page.

Then why do you post on here? Why do you come back day after day, hour after hour to such a bitchy and nasty place? Your actions speak louder than words.

Because i like to talk about theatre, and as i said many on here and wonderful, but you are kidding yourself if you dont think this place can be nasty and bitchy, it's known throughout Broadway, West End etc as one hell of a bitchy site.

Just got home from a night drinking and decided to look at BWW and sure enough this thread is still going strong. And the way people are ripping into each other just seems to confirm what Pascal said about haters on here, only now they have turned on each other. Pascal is probably laughing. But then again, I am pretty drunk right now. Just fed up with this thread
Isn't king of funny that Mr. Pascal just happens to check this board after knowingly making a mistake in Chicago. He states he does not do it often but misses a line and "bingo" he is checking this board. IMO - it almost seems like he was looking for something to rant about, maybe I am wrong but at least I kept the thread going - lol jk.
Pascal is probably laughing.
I hope so because he wouldn't be alone in doing so.

Sorry - this made me chuckle.
Your comment: As one who referred to him as Mr. Pascal, I do that for everyone. I don't know these people personally and to refer to him as "Adam" to me implies I know him. Maybe I am wrong but that is the way my parents taught me many years ago.
Several posts and two hours later, you have a post that refers to Mr. Pascal, Megan Hilty and Chad Kimball - according more respect to Mr. Pascal??
The thread is about Adam Pascal, so Mr. Pascal is acceptable to use instead. Using "Mr. Kimball" or "Ms. Hilty" when no one in this thread has mentioned Chad or Megan would be odd. It's not a difference in respect. It's good writing.

OK - sorry. Not a good enough writer to know. Just caught my eye and made me chuckle - in error.
Thanks.
I'd never heard of Adam Pascal till all this started-now I am curious to find out more about him.

"Then why do you post on here? Why do you come back day after day, hour after hour to such a bitchy and nasty place? Your actions speak louder than words," bitchily asks the poster who has been here a whole two weeks.
Wynbish - Thanks

Don't be jealous. I have a pretty mundane shift-work job and I find that drinking while I work helps.
Problem? Sure.
Anyway, I thought Pascal's post was likely just a manifestation of his own insecurities and frustrations about his performance that night. I imagine it is easy to be a little insecure when you do a job where people are judging you night after night.
Luckily, I don't have to worry about that. I just drive a taxi for a living.

He was incredible in this feature film about 30-somethings living in New York in the 80s-90s. I can't think of the name right now.
