Adam in CABARET?!

Yes...please do!! I can't wait to hear the reviews.

I can't imagine that he would be bad.

I posted this in another thread, but here ya go...

Just a few general thoughts on Cabaret 10/17...

For his first, Adam did a VERY commendable job. No real complaints here...I wouldn't rank him among the likes of Alan Cumming or Raul Esparza, but I was impressed nonetheless. He was a very slinky Emcee (he's also lost weight and toned up a bit I'd say), well-sung, and very comfortable on stage. As his time progresses in the show, I'm sure his comedic bits will get better as well. Overall, an incredibly enjoyable performance and I'm sure fans will no doubt be impressed.

On a sidenote, Susan Egan remains stellar (sooo much better than a weak Heather Laws who I saw last time), Tony Roberts and Blair Brown were fine (though I could not get Carole S's fierce performance out of my mind), and Rick Holmes is a solid Cliff.

He's good. Saw him yesterday matinee. Needs to work with a dialect coach a little bit, but other than that he's "perfectly marvelous".

I ended up, quite unexpectedly, seeing Cabaret this afternoon...from stage-side seats, no less. (Let's hear it for a last minute ticket purchase at the box office WITH a discount code!) The house seemed to be full, so I guess I just got lucky.

At any rate, I was quite impressed with the entire cast. I've never been that crazy about the Frau Schneider and Herr Schultz characters or their songs, but Blair Brown and Tony Roberts won me over. And I'd been skeptical about Adam Pascal as the Emcee, but not any more. I thought he nailed it. And to tell you the truth, if I'd not been aware that he was playing the role going in, it would have taken me a few minutes to recognize him. This make-up makes his features look more sculpted than I recall from Aida or Rent. Ah, but the voice remains the same.

I was never a big fan of his before this, but....

OH.MY.GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

Go...just go.
I almost needed an oxygen tank (or a cigarette) by the end of Willkommen. Holy...

I agree Seany!

I am happy to hear all good comments. If such a big fan such as cabarethed loves him, he must be good!

I love Pascal but is his gravelly voice suited to a more classic musical like Cabaret? Can anyone comment on this? How does he sound?

I saw it on monday and WOW!!!!!!!!!! I was absolutely blown away. This is, without question, his best performance yet. He absolutely nailed the part. He didnt use that much gravel in his voice except for a few points and when he did, it worked perfectly. AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Since Susan's staying...I have to see this show atleast once more!
