    Guess who Adam Pascal hooked up with while starring in Rent? Host Paul Wontorek (who knows just about every Broadway tale worth repeating) couldn't help being surprised when the Tony-nominated star spilled some real-life romantic details in the latest episode of Show People. Of course, the big news from this popular-and ageless-leading man is his forthcoming gig as deejay Huey Calhoun in Memphis. Adam tells Paul why he pursued the role, tries out his Southern accent and explains why a Broadway stage is the place he feels most comfortable. Click on for a revealing, wide-ranging chat with Pascal, then get tickets to see him in Memphis beginning October 25, his 41st birthday!

    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! :)

    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.

    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 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.

    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 :)

  • @elphiegreen

    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.

  • @hannahwig
    @hannahwig 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Any news on "Operation Mindcraft"? It sounds fantastic! I'd go see it in a heartbeat :-)

  • @94179
    @94179 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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.

  • @nicholaswilkinson6126

    “Read between the lines Theo. Read between the lines!” 😉🤟 I wish he had a band in real life like Jack Black does with Tenacious D.

    • @sorrynotsorry6

      He was in a band in real life before he was in Rent called "Mute".

  • @DoubleDReviews
    @DoubleDReviews 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @Abonanno24601
    @Abonanno24601 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.
