Posted: 9/4/11 at 12:01pmHe meant the movie musical adaptation.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 9/4/11 at 5:34pmPlease let it not be Adam Pascal. I like the show a lot (and Chad in the role) and Adam's voice is grating. It sounds like dying cats.

Posted: 9/4/11 at 5:45pmOh just close this turd already! It's taking up a good theatre. I say it's toast by the end of the year...

C a show: """I never heard the story about Clay Aiken, so I asked one of the producers of 'Memphis' and I'm told that Aiken was 'never approached or considered.'"""
Clay was first choice for Broadway. He obviously wouldn't be interested in the movie if he turned it down on Broadway.

Posted: 9/4/11 at 10:19pmSaw Memphis again yesterday, still as amazing as ever! I asked Chad's new understudy Kevin Massey about who is replacing Chad and he said that it will not be him and they are currently still in the process of casting a new Huey. Hope whoever they get is as good as Chad...each time I see it I am more and more amazed by how talented that man is.

Posted: 9/4/11 at 10:27pmSally Struthers is the obvious choice.

madbrian, Norbert is a brilliant idea. He reads a tad on the old side for the part, but he would be great (and sadly is now free, although I don't think he would actually do it unless the show really is closing in January and he was just filling in for a couple of months).
Adam Pascal, on the other hand, would seem a bit miscast to me. I'm having a hard time visualizing him as an illiterate Southern country boy in the 1950s.

I think Adam's voice will sound incredible with the score. But obviously his performance will be so completely different from Kimball that it might throw things, for better or worse.
But there is no debate here. This thread might as well become about debating the merits of Adam in the role. It isn't speculation, it IS happening FOR SURE.

Posted: 9/6/11 at 12:05pmAdam Pascal is confirmed... makes sense, but Aaron Tevit would have been more exciting
