NativeNewYorker, he sure does have that affect on people! Look, he brought bdwaygirl out of her hole!!
insomniak, I will surely stare extra long for you. Soon he'll know me as this short brunette who can't utter any words in his presence. I can't ever speak to him... I feel guilty, but I just go mute. It's awful.... I need to work on fixing that.
Regarding the note-cracking... I guess he doesn't take it down because he's Adam Pascal and he CAN do it. I mean, his vocal range allows for it, so why not go for it, I guess. I believe he hit it when I saw him last (but that was three years ago). I don't remember cringing, so I assume he hit it.
And the hair color... I *think* (this could be totally wrong) it's actually naturally brown, but not too dark. There are some pictures of him that are two or three years old with his hair all grown out and it's dark brown. It just looked to me like that was pretty natural. It was bleached blonde for Rent, black for Cabaret and has been its share of shades of dirty blonde in between. It's blonde again now, yes?
Ok, enough talk about Adam. I'm getting jealous just talking about him!
