I gotta say, I can't believe how much Adam Pascal has grown as an actor and singer. I first saw him almost 15 years ago for the first time in Rent. In the original - I kind of thought he was one of the weaker members. MILES better than I could ever be, don't get me wrong - but not the best in the show.
.
A few years later I saw him in Aida. He was much better, particularly his singing.
.
Even in Chess - the Victoria Hall version, I saw too much "Roger" in his American.
.
But now, in Memphis, I really liked him. As the Huey, the white boy, in love with beautiful black singer, Felicia, he acted as someone completely different. And he sang well, in character - except on the occasions where he had to really let go a belt it. And he can now.
.
Felicia, played by Montego Glover, was an amazing and vocally Adam kept up with her.
