    His voice is truly incredible!! I saw him front row center the other day as well as seeing Chad two years back!! They're both wonderful performers! :)

    Oh I totally agree. He has that growly rock n roll voice. Perfect Judas. I can hear his voice in the whole "Just don't say I'm..........Damned for all time!"

    I'm yelling i can't believe Adam actually exposed himself and other things that happened during the rent's run. I mean he's older and wiser now so I guess he just sees it as a part of his younger life. But he just said it so matter-of-fact that's cracking me up. I hope he has fun during something rotten!

      derpderplul I hope he did ask Daphne and the girl he was cheating on if they were ok with he telling this.

    I love the Rent film as it was my introduction into Broadway musicals and I don’t think without it I would be as much of a Broadway fan that I am today.

    same here, I saw in on New Years Eve in 1996 at the Nederlander Theatre. Lucked out on the 20 dollar front row ticket. We had bougt tickets alomst 5 months ahead of time just in case we didn't win the drawing. Too bad Daphne Rubin-Vega wasn't on stage at the time. She has an understudy.

  • @Tricheystudios
    @Tricheystudios 13 лет назад +2

    It will definitely be interesting to see him as Huey. He's so different from Chad. I think Huey is just so weird that it'll be a shock for him to not be as weird now.

    I love the movie Rent I think that's what truly introduced me to Broadway style performances. It has that classic thing where it looks like it belongs more on a stage than in the 'real world' but it still works for me. And Adam Pascal is the face of it so I agree there is no real Rent without him :)

    I will have to check it out; it will be interesting to see his take on Huey; Chad's portrayal was amazing and is the standard. Hope he can still make us feel the music the way Chad did.
    Gotta get tickets and myself to NYC.

    @Tricheystudios They were both Great!! But, I think Chad was more of a hick than Adam but Adam's voice goes right through the roof!!

    Because of his Rent fame, we get the impression that he doesn't age ;) And here he is, gray hair and all, it's a little weird to see him like this.

  • @Abonanno24601
    @Abonanno24601 11 лет назад

    yeah, but I think the movie would be better if it was done 7 or 8 years earlier. They should of done it about a year after Rent came out I don't like hearing 35 year old people not wanted to talk to ther mom's and can't pay rent. I love the stage show, but the actors were too old by the time they made it. I wish they would of used different actors. When ever I want to watch Rent, I watch the Last Broadway Performance. Oh well, to each is own.
