Well, I'm the one who posted about the conversation I had with the Company Manager of Hedwig and the angry inch, and I can assure you there would be no reason for him to tell me that if it wasn't true. And Andrew Rannells, who is replacing NPH, was just announced as the replacement. The point I think the company manager was making is they are thinking long term for the show and will need other replacements to keep the show running. But I agree, now is not the time for Adam to be on Broadway especially as a replacement. Album#3 first! I greatly appreciate you sharing this info with us. It makes me deliriously happy to know Adam is getting that type of interest and offers. It is not the role I would want to see him in for his first Broadway foray, but it is wonderful that the industry insiders want him, regardless of the play.I shouldn't be surprised that Adam has gotten these inquiries behind the scenes. TPTB in the business don't get where they are without being able to recognize talent and good PR which Adam brings in spades. Still, it is nice to have confirmation. Thanks. So agree... please keep busy Adam! |

I think we might be surprised at how many offers Adam is getting.  This is what I love! Not that I really want him to do BW now, especially if not creating a role, but this makes me think that he IS getting way more offers than we know. |

Thanks. remember the interview with Z100, Elvis Duran (?) where Adam said his goal on AI was to get enough recognition to get Broadway roles? And now he can decline the lead roles! awww.....   |

Did he say they offered Adam the role or at least talked to his management about the possinbility or was he merely one among those being given consideration? He said and I quote " believe me we tried, several times." |

I haven't watched/heard all the vids fr Vegas#2 but from the few I've seen, I think i prefer Vegas#1 for Adam's performance over Vegas#2. Watching the vids (even with the on/off/on again stream) of Vegas#1 brought me to tears. Vegas#2 not as much. Ok also testing my new avi, since nearly everyone is adopting a pic fr this outstanding Tour! I thought the two performances were different but equally good. Saturday night Adam's vocal performance was as good as I have ever heard him -- particularly on STL, WWTLF and KQ -- and Saturday's TSMGO was really powerful, possibly the best TSMGO ever. But Sunday, he was having more fun on stage and a couple of the songs with more subtle vocals like "In the Lap of the Gods....Revisited" really stood out. And CLTCL was amazing. Just for comparison -- look at the Twirl Count! Saturday - he did 3 twirls in STL. Sunday - he did 5 twirls in STL. Note: I have not watched any video yet so my Twirl Count may be off a bit. Let's just say he was very lively on stage on Sunday. |

He said and I quote " believe me we tried, several times." Read it before, but appreciate the emphasis on it again! taumbu thanks for sharing your conversation on the thread!!! I am delighted to hear that Adam's "star" power is growing in all kinds of circles. |

Jablea, for LV2: Brian continued with his couch invasion - this time he sat right in the middle and leaned into BB...

What percentage of tickets have been sold at Atlantic City -- anyone know where I look to figure this out? Tnks! There is no way to figure this out. There is a map where you can see which seats are for sale (in blue) but the gray seats are a combination of sold seats and seats that have not yet been offered for sale. I got an approximate figure, thanks! Someone on twitter was posting that the venue was 35% sold and that just didn't seem right. Turns out it wasn't.
I was thinking of going if the 35% was actually true. I had looked at the seating chart a few days ago, there's nothing avail that I would want (entitled).
eta: obviously I would be in favor of a "twirl count" in our concert assessments!

Maybe I shouldn't post this here? I thought it was funny though. And a word to the wise:
Mark Fischel @markfischel 9h
Queen show was amazing,although I did have to yell at the old Adam Lambert biddies behind me to stop talking during the Brian May solo.
Q3 - delete if you want.
