over the weekend, i got the chance to see a couple of shows. on friday night, my friend alexandra and i went to see adam pascal (originated the role of roger from RENT in both the movie and on broadway) perform in brentwood. he sang both his own original songs and songs from various stage shows, including "one song glory" from RENT and "what i did for love" from
a chorus line. i really liked his rendition of "what i did for love."
he was pretty funny and had really good stage presence. alexandra and i have decided that it really does matter. apparently just being able to sing isn't enough these days. after the show, we heard whispering that he was planning on coming out and signing autographs. neither of us wanted his autograph, but we did want to get a better picture of him. so while we hung around outside waiting, we noticed that the crowd waiting around with us was comprised of a particular demographic - while the audience during the performance was pretty mixed in terms of gender, age, and ethnicity - the waiting for the meet/greet was mostly a drama club crowd. we heard some pretty funny and catty commentary from the girls on the fringes towards the girls who were closer to the fence/gate separating them from adam.
during the concert, adam pascal played guitar with this dude in the picture. piano guy larry is currently helping adam write his next album. we saw him just standing around in the hall by himself while all the small, but rabid, crowd was surrounding adam. so, we went to take a photo with him.
on saturday, i went to the hollywood bowl to see a stage production of
the sound of music. i had originally thought it was a sing-a-long, but it turned out to be a musical instead.
we were sitting in the super-far nosebleed benches, but it was a lot of fun. we got to bring our own food/desserts and wine, which we drank out of blue plastic cups - so classy. it was so cool to see the surround hills and hear the coyotes while we were sitting there. i can't wait to see something else at the bowl. for the stage show, some actors played the popular roles. clark's dad from
smallville played captain von trapp (also of dukes of hazzard fame), teri hatcher's "daughter" from
desparate housewives played liesl, and jeffrey tambor (arrested development) played uncle max. and while i couldn't see their faces at all, even on the big jumbo screens, i'm still counting them in my short-list of celeb "sightings."
