Adam Pascal was a rock ‘n’ roll musician who had no theatrical credits when he landed the role of Roger in RENT—a show that would garner him a Tony nomination and forever change the sound of Broadway. Now, Pascal shares his journey through the shows he’s performed along the way: Aida, Cabaret, Memphis, Chicago, and more. His solo acoustic concert, “So Far,” is coming to the Arthur Pryor Bandshell in Asbury Park on July 28 and BellWorks in Holmdel on July 29 as part of Axelrod Performing Arts Center’s Vogel Summer Concert Series.
Pascal chats with host Maddie Orton about: Creating “So Far” (2:13), How Adam Pascal landed the role of Roger in RENT (6:38), How Roger got bleached hair and a leather jacket (7:46), Taking over some of Broadway’s biggest roles (13:09), Adam’s dream roles and our dream roles for him (17:45), and the legacy of rent 25 years later (25:37).
