I booked a cameo from Adam Pascal & I asked if he had any insights as to how he approached playing my two favorite of his characters- Roger & Freddie.
And he was super sweet and genuine, talked about how he’s not really much of an actor and more of a singer- but that Roger was natural for him since he was a rocker before moving to premiere in Rent.
He did say that since Chess was a concert version, and that Chess is such a hard show musically, he really just focused on singing it 😂. But he did describe Freddie as just being a huge egotistical phenom and I was like….

I will certainly add more to this. Feel free to add your own!
Rent moment of all time in Tune Up #1 when Mark asks Roger what he’s doing for the second time and the phone rings, to get Roger to stop talking he just Grabs His Head.
From what I can tell this might just be an Anthony Rapp thing but I wish it was part of the blocking because it’s so funny.
