Aida - Elaborate Lives - Original Broadway Cast

[xxSHAE96xx]

I would pay any amount of money to see Adam in this. I was way to young to see it when he was in it, so now I'm hooked on YouTube videos an iTunes. -3 going to see Memphis on Sunday... Praying that he decides to stage door -3 loovvee him

[Ilikequiche101]

I wish they had released a filmed version of the original Aida production. Heather and Adam are just perfect. If they made a movie, could they just make the roles "older"? I saw Adam in the "Rent" tour last year. His voice was still beautiful and he was still incredibly attractive. I almost swooned when he started singing "One Song Glory."

[Eyohannes93]

He's so hot with a semi-lumberjack beard!

[InuTheWhite]

Sexy song. Probably the sexiest. The perfect combination of love and lust. Oh this production is so gorgeous.

[CurlyQ251]

@InuTheWhite yessss so true! they are perfect. i really believe that the originals are the perfect versions because they literally create the character for the rest of them. adam is my LOVE and i love heather! i got to meet adam twice when i was 15 :)))

[DNAlover123]

anyone who says that Adam Pascal ruined the vocals in this show is seriously smoking crack.

[kaylajane157]

@NVMtheDARKNESS @jessxisxasleep Actually, yes it is. From the movie version of "Rent". He played Roger.

[suzgrrl]

@kaylajane157 He was also one of the original cast members in the Broadway version of Rent

[littlejeterjr]

@kaylajane157 and he was the original on broadway too!!!!

[NVMtheDARKNESS]

is that...the guy....from rent?

[jessxisxasleep]

@NVMtheDARKNESS no

[clopezsparrow]

i remember seeing this when i was younger and OH MY GOD. it's still so amazing.

goddamn if adam was every singing in my face like that...the song would not be finished. mmf.

[SongsJerome]

Disney made a good choice for Adam Pascal. I don't know anybody else who could play the part of Radames.

[Holly24tm]

@SongsJerome

Is there a movie version in the works?

[SongsJerome]

@Holly24tm So I heard yes

[Holly24tm]

@SongsJerome That would be fantastic! I have listened to my Aida playlist far too many times in the past two weeks. I am so hooked on Adam Pascal's voice.

[SongsJerome]

@Holly24tm I don't think Adam Pascal will reprise his role as Radames for the movie.

[HistoryLover1550]

Heather + Adam are FANTASTIC xD

[needdamoreoftht]

K so my schools doing Aida and my director expects me to sing like that ..... Hahaha I'm fucked

[Darklight170]

@needdamoreoftht radames?

[needdamoreoftht]

@Darklight170 yeah... i started to sing the original way it was written, and my director got pissed and said no it needs to be sung like adam pascal sings it sooooo i'm just like blah right now

[Darklight170]

@needdamoreoftht keep me updated, okay?

[darkgem100]

OK Disney, you just keep telling yourselves that this is for all ages....lol, but it is fantastic, thats cant be ignored.

[Darklight170]

0:44

[Darklight170]

Like if you sooo want to be AIDA!

[lesmizfanatic90]

god i wish i was either one of them in that video lol AMAZING!!!!

[darkgem100]

Why couldnt this have lasted longer, so we could see Adam COMPLETLY shirtless? cruel world!

[nuniestar]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG <3



[mimmar3891]

I really wish they'd make this into a movie with the original Broadway cast. These actors are so talented and make songs that are already amazing, unforgettable.

[molliebruss]

@mimmar3891 totally agree with you!!!!

[HistoryLover1550]

@mimmar3891 Me too! If they had filmed this like the Broadway production of 'Cats' I would definitely buy a copy!

[vonnililly]

Vier mal habe ich Aida gesehen, doch niemals mit solch einer Leidenschaft zwischen den beiden wie bei Heather und Adam! Nicht einmal annähernd....

Wunderbar den beiden zuzusehen!!!

[HistoryLover1550]

I've seen this show 2 times and LOVED it! This song touched my heart so much!

[putris25]

wow ! do they make this on dvd ? would really looove to see the full musical

[sauron547]

This is sex.

I think I forgot to breathe.

omg.

[musicalfan1001]

Hmm, not sure about the beard...

[MonsterEnergyMan]

OMG. I'm a little damp after watching that.

[mimi42428]

this is awesome

[missotome]

oops my panties just dropped. thanks adam pascal.

[araex4]

i won't be suprised if adam had a boner through this entire song. i mean, they're basically having sex.

[dearbriellex3]

she's so beautiful. and he's such a strong man for playing diverse roles. well, they both do but still. what a combination.

[twinsgemini123]

WOW BLOWS MY MIND......

[rawrifyouloveme]

they work so well together. such perfect chemistry. very natural and overall passionate.(:

[dearbriellex3]

so seductive... dayummm!

[qhEttONERd]

we were watchinq this in msh vocal tech class

and when aida sanq i just knew it had too

bee a black qirl just sounds like it.

[amethystluv]

all i want before i die is to see adam pascal live. sure world peace would be nice, but to present when he belts out a song is better. way better.

[kshanafelt]

Such steamy chemistry! The best pair!!!

[simplyme78]

this is awkward....

[TheRhiafire]

that's not sex on broadway. You all should see Spring Awakening (which is my favorite musical). NOW THAT"S HAVIGN SEX ON STAGE!

[jeannaegirl]

@TheRhiafire i started listening to that on my ipod right after i listened to this :) Don't Do Sadness/ Blue Wind.d

[Caoxyn17]

@TheRhiafire I'm pretty sure Avenue Q is having sex on stage.

[fuzmiq]

You have to feel bad for the ears of anybody who sings with adam. His voice is just so dang powerful and gorgeous.

[sarah9932]

God damn, Adam is sexy. I can't stop watching this. I saw Rent when he and Anthony Rapp came back, and I got to meet Anthony but not Adam. Which is probably good, because I probably would have melted. If he sang to me, I would die. Ughh.

[ravenlynne]

@bobanddavid: me too. Way unhealthy how often I watch this. I call it broadway porn.

[amethystluv]

@ravenlynne its an addiction. and one i dont want to get help for.

[mimmar3891]

@ravenlynne It's gorgeous and so sensual! I can't believe I just discovered this wonderful show tonight -- I just saw a local but semi-professional version (several of the lead actors have been on and off Broadway) and it was amazing. But obviously this being Broadway, with two unbelievably talented singers, this is even better. I'm hooked.

[ESimoneCook]

That was actually one of the most epic kisses I've ever seen in my life

[singingstar56]

THAT.WAS.BEAUTIFUL.

[yensid1928]

so simple but also so powerful.

[tokyopanda13]

Beautiful song. I'd love to see this musical live.

[MercedesKitty820]

I saw Aida on Broadway 3 times. Adam Pascal was marvelous in this. And to think he was in Spinal Tap. Whoa. Aida is one of the best musicals ever. Artie- I think of this song as us. Oops, except one of us is NOT a slave. Love you babe. Always thinking of US. Mmmmmmm. Your princess.

[ninjalover595]

adam pascal was in RENT. no surprise he was in AIDA.

[etemuru]

too bad egyptians were NOT white

[iffilayo]

@etemuru LOL Wow, aren't you the intelligent one? Thanks for educating the rest of us. That's called sarcasm. Look it up. Clearly, they used creative license to drive home a point. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that neither the Egyptians nor the Nubians walked around breaking out into song. Should we scrap that too?

[etemuru]

@iffilayo funny. have you thought of being a comedian?

[iffilayo]

@etemuru Yes, I have. Thanks for noticing! Some people are just gifted, I suppose.

[etemuru]

@iffilayo lol

[iffilayo]

He can stalk me and seduce me around a stage any time. Adam = Seductive.

[mamachix16]

God the chemisty between them is just...I really really want Adam Pascal to sing to me.

[araex4]

5 people are obviously lesbians.

[PecanSandees23]

I could watch this ALL day long!!! Thank you!

[jmix2yaz]

3:10 on repeat

[ClaireRolf5]

HE IS HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jumpingbeanxx]

adam pascal<3

[bobanddavid90]

Love how when this starts it almost sounds like a chaste little ditty and then just turns into pure sex. Awesome. I've watched this more times than is probably healthy.

[Darklight170]

@bobanddavid90 I SAW THE LAUNCESTON COLLEGE ONE AND IT WAS LIKE 100000000 TIMES BETTER!

[ChineseChik525]

god, adam pascal's voice is orgasmic! lol

[vonnililly]

WOW! Das ist so emotional, dass mir die Tränen kommen...

[Slumbajam]

ugh.......amazing.  i love this musical.

[KarenRosieRay]

I ditto what TheatreGrrl87 said!!

[heyyoubitme]

the entire time i was like. oh. sex.

[WildCard7550]

saw this play when I was in middle school with them and it was AMAZING!

[TheatreGrrl87]

Still my favorite song that Adam has ever done EVER, musical or not. And I'm a RENThead like no other, but nothing will ever top this song. P E R F E C T I O N

[Aemkea1]

Holy freaking shit, where has this song been all my life?

[Cute15tricia]

@Aemkea1 i know right??? i just discovered this last night.. ive missed everything....

[dramamole]

Adam Pascal is so much hotter in this show than in Rent. He's almost as hot as Freddie in Chess.

[SuperDevilina]

i will love to have this man sing to me and ooh ooh me.

[BwayDreamer1128]

I'm sorry....Heather Headley has an incredible voice, buuuut....she can't act for shit :-P

[MegaMaestro14]

@BwayDreamer1128 which is why she won the Tony?

[yaoiluvr007]

She must be deaf by now. And yes, I really wish my boyfriend would sing to me like that!

[TyChristianWilson]

Daaaaaannnnngggg! How do I find it on Itunes?

[sdseals2076]

I saw them in person and it was just great.

[1920jenny]

Adam Pascal is my absolute first and one true love of musical theater.

[dancerbabe32]

Im in a production of AIDA this year! now im really excited!

[narniaprincess05]

Though Aida is the title role, it's the character of Ramades that I love soooo much and makes me watch video after video of this musical on youtube hoping for the day that it tours in my city...

[mathqueenb]

I wish they would bring this show back!

[XxSora145xX]

2 people missed the like button

[luvduv224]

[radiance65]

Who the hell is that hunk???? Wow!!!

[nikinoteTV]

@radiance65

[honeyflakesx9]

Whats the highest note adam hits in this song?

[samwardsamward]

@honeyflakesx9 It's an Ab in the 'who's loving who' bit at the end

[twizzler87]

I always pictured this scene in my head when listening to the soundtrack... but DAMN! I didn't think it would be this hot! Thanks for posting!!

[adamdashawn]

OMG I saw this when I was a senior in high school...does this play still tour?

[jmix2yaz]

this is too hot.

[pal0oz]

way way way too sexy

[croationchick96]

OMG that was amazing!! adam pascal is a GOD 0_o

[dani92california]

adam is damn SEXY!

his voice, his face! *sigh*

[Miiirthee]

His voice, swoon! that's so fantastic!

[adampascal2894]

"how an affair of the heart survives." SWOON.

[Mettamomma]

The chemistry between them was amazing. I saw this on Broadway with them.

[hoosiergirl32]

This video gives me butterflies everytime I watch it ♥

[machiseminario]

Makes me cry!!! They're so wonderful!!

[iwubu08]

adam pascal is sex on a stick !!!!! ahhhhh i love him !

[ravenlynne]

If this scene and song doesn't get you going, you're made of stone. Amazing...

[brownieblush]

heather is so freaking beautiful, perfect facial structure.

[jarmstrong026]

Good show! I saw this on Broadway in 2000 I believe.

[xxlutaxx]

i got to see adam and deborah cox right before the show closed now that was sooooooooooooooooooooo awesome!

[AnnisaAyana]

She sound just like ah trini ent!

[irisindelight]

oh, that costume, Adam - hilarious.

[chex432]

He sounds so much better live than he does on the cast recording!!

[jessayut]

MY FAVORITE MUSICAL

[joysworld53]

this is one sexy scene...& they sing the hell out of this song....I was truly lucky to see them both in this...this is why I can't leave NY!!!

[FreitagDer13teFan]

well now i wish i could be at her place.... * . *

[keeterlicious]

Lord, I hope they do a serious revival. My favorite musical, ever.

[Nirvana04Kurt]

does anyone happen to know the date of this bootleg? is it the December of 2000 one or the March of that year?

[dancejessicasing]

adam and heather are cool, and it would be awesome if we were getting the original cast. buuuuut, if they were looking for new people, maybe jay davis & ma-anne dionisio? did a concert with them back in the end of march, and they did this song and they absolutely killed the song, they were absolutely incredible, <3

[xJoycexVampirex]

take it the rest of the way off adam!!! please i beg!!! lol

[adampascal2894]

@xJoycexVampirex  or at least turn around so we can see it!

[xJoycexVampirex]

@adampascal2894 I agree

[adampascal2894]

i wish you can see his face in the last part.

[KarenRosieRay]

ADAM>>ADAM>>ADAM!! SIGH!!!!

[liddiesing]

I saw this on Broadway in my junior year of high school (2002), and I have loved it ever since. Thanks so much for posting!

[Carcilwen]

They have such great chemistry!!

[namilly]

Adam Pascal is hot!!

[jimmymot]

gorgeous

[yaoiluvr007]

I am definitly going to sing this at my boyfriend! Luckily, I can go that low, being a contralto myself. I might have to tie him down, though.

[Anna92greece]

wooow

[taragin]

What does he say before he starts singing?

[KSantry918]

@taragin "Don't you?"

[taragin]

thanks KSantry

[mizemotion]

damn imma fall in love wit dat guy.....shootz he can sing....

[jebeja]

Adam and Heather equal great chemistry. Thanks for the video.

[marissa09098]

if you put this on mute (! i know, you would never wanna do that!) and listen to elton john sing the duet "written in the stars", it would make a great fan video or trailer

[marissa09098]

sooooooo good!

[TrippinCoconuts]

Were doing this for our spring musical this year. I'm Radames and this is definitely something to live up to haha

[breebeerox]

Love this song!!! I'm doing this musical next with my group! Want to be Aida or Amneris!

[emileeisbomb]

I wish adam pascal would sing to me like that! ahah :D

[looker768]

@emileeisbomb me too....naked at that!

[BonanzaObsessor]

Thanks for posting!

Do you have this full show?

[adampascal2894]

greatest performance ive ever seen.both of them have such great chemistry.

[69Nisey]

I need a COLD shower! This is an awesome song and these two do it justice with their emotion both physical and verbal!

[silthees]

I need  a COLD shower! [2]

[69Nisey]

AMEN GIRL!!! I'm going to watch it again just because I can! LOL

[TrippinCoconuts]

Ditto!

[Bariterror]

I love how you hear the people crying in the audience before the applause. Awesome.

[gdazed]

wow that was arousing and beautiful

[syworld82]

I actually unlike a lot of other people can actually see Beyonce soaring in this ROLE... this is the kind of role that could stand her as a solid actress...

[adampascal2894]

exactly.i think she has the vocal talent for this role.although i think heather would do much better.

and adam HAS to be radames

[shortbutstrong]

and...SWOONS.

[andixxanarchy]

Love him!!!!!!!!!!

[newvipman]

I think this is the best version, best cast of all... love it.

[SuperDevilina]

I love this saga of the play I feel her attraction for this man,specially when he said I know this isn't the moment and she look into his eyes I love this. I feel this song thank you anymore like the last scene in the play when they see each other

[Kochutsnmn]

3:28 starting there is my favorite part love Heather!!!!

[jdthemindfreak]

OMG! Adam shirtless!

[christiangurl25]

ugh i just cannot get over how amazing this is!

[ModfathersGunMoll]

Thank you SO very much for posting this!! I am floored right now! Such a confluence of emotions were in that performance, and it brought the same out in me. I absolutely love these two performers! Heather and Adam have mad chemistry up there, too! I'd love to have seen this with my fiance - we've been through a lot together, and it would've made me turn into a ball of mush! There is so much passion in this performance, and raw sexiness! This makes me want to see more of this show!

[GIoryus84]

This is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL performance!

[XxdeatheofthesunxX]

i love me some Adam Pascal!

[brike2001]

Adam Pascal and Heather Headley were amazing (Adam pascal is amazing in everything he does, by the way). I saw them only 6 times on B'way, and once in Sao Paulo, Brazil (without Adam Pascal and Heather Headley). AMAZING every time.

[Rosie4evr]

I want to scream I love this video so much!!! thx for loading it!!!!

[VictoryWaters]

I saw Aida in NY in 99 or was it 2000? I saw it opening night. Heather Headley and Adam Pascal was so amazing that I cried most of the way through this entire experience. It is an experience to see both of them together. Hot chemistry too.. Disney & Atl Alliance Theater created something gorgeous to watch and hear. I fell in love with Broadway after seeing Adam & Heather's performances and decided to become an actor that day. "Want" is the look in their eyes in this scene. Amazing..

[hottiehanzo27]

This video is amazing, you can feel how strong the chemistry between them is. . .its hot. About the film, is there a person out there who doesn't think they should hire Adam and Heather? They were perfection!! However if they are not going to cast them, they should get, like really talented unknowns to play these roles, not Beyonce, she's not majestic enough to pull of playing such a regal character like Aida. 1 last thing about the video itself, I loved it!!!!!

[MusicalLover6]

I think this is my third time or so commenting on this video. I think it's so emotional. People might find AIDA flawed, but this is one of the best love songs -- esp. written by Tim Rice.

The look on Heather's face when he grabs her and she levels her eyes to his gets me every time. SO much conflict and fear. And when she finally gives in, it's heart breakingly beautiful.

Heather and Adam were the perfect pair. Screw the critics who didn't care for Adam's 'acting'. I think he shines.
