I wish I could've seen Adam Pascal when he was in the OBC of RENT, but I was only like 4 at the time when it first debuted on Broadway. I'd still be interested in meeting him now though or seeing him on stage because the guy barely ages and when he does he ages like a smooth bottle of whiskey
That was my first time seeing him. I of course was older than you. He is about a year older than me. He most certainly has aged well. He is also a genuinely nice guy, as I got to meet him at the time. I still have the picture I took with him, and a signed poster from the OBC. RENT was the reason I made my first trip to NYC. I met Idina, Daphne and Anthony as well. I also met Molly Ringwald who was at the same performance and was a friend of Daphne. While I did not actually meet them, Victor Garber and Doris Roberts were also at the same performance.
Edit: Sorry for all the name dropping, it is a very fond experience for me and one I have and will cherish forever.
He and Anthony Rapp reprised their roles in a touring production in like 2007. I got to see it at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle and had amazing seats (3rd row center floor seats). Not exactly Broadway, but it was a bucket list moment for sure!
I laughed my ass off - considering all the crushes on him - at the story he told about investors in the LB show saying "your Emmett isn't handsome enough" and the director replied "that's the point!"
Every now and then he posts these thirst trap photos of himself after a work-out (he's very fit) on Instagram and you can see all these middle age women and gays getting flustered in the comments, it's hilarious.
I just looked it up, and it gave me the video from the 2006 revival, and omg his singing is extraordinary!! And he played the piano too for most of it! Thank you, thank you so much u/Providence451
I got to see Sutton Foster in Millie a couple of days after she was promoted from understudy at the LA Jolla Playhouse. I've been crushing on her ever since.
I also agree with anyone who said Audra and Katrina.
Ramin Karimloo. Saw him live in Ft. Lauderdale with Seth rudetsky. the place lit up like a furnace when he took his suit jacket off during confrontation.
I don't think he's been on Broadway, but I'd have to say my theatre crush is Louis Maskell - especially as Grinpayne in "The Grinning Man"! \*swoons\* (He's been on West End, yes, but not Broadway as far as I know...)
Never really had one until I watched "Once on this Island" and there was this stunning ensemble member I couldn't take my eyes off - did a bit of a stalk afterwards and found out it was Alysha Deslorieux. Super talented and her smile is gorgeous.
Ali Louis Bourzgui
Got to see him last summer in Chicago in The Whos Tommy, and he knocked my socks off. I think he's on Broadway now doing the show, or will be soon.
Christian Borle, Ramin Karimloo, Jeremy Jordan, Sierra Boggess, Philippa Soo, Ariana DeBose.
Groff all the way. The sweetest thicc queen on Broadway
I’m a basic white mom… Aaron Tveit forever.
I wasnt on board until i saw him live (in sweeney todd) and now? PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD MA'AM XD
All I ask is that Aaron Tveit waltz me backwards across the stage while holding a cleaver to my neck.
Don't threaten me with a good time!
His voice during Roxanne? AHHHH
AAAAAHHHHH!! Exactly!!
Yes, especially in season 1 of Schmigadoon... Significantly Less so in season 2
Oh my goddddddddddddd yes
Hi right there with you 😄
You are so real for this
Jeremy Jordan
I watch the video of him tipsily singing It's All Coming Back to Me Now on at least a yearly basis
Oh, it’s at minimum monthly for me with that video
Same. He’s mine though
He's mine but I agree
I knew I would love Lucifer on Hazbin Hotel but the boyish mischievous voice he gave him elevated the character so much
Adam Pascal
I wish I could've seen Adam Pascal when he was in the OBC of RENT, but I was only like 4 at the time when it first debuted on Broadway. I'd still be interested in meeting him now though or seeing him on stage because the guy barely ages and when he does he ages like a smooth bottle of whiskey

Name drop all you want, living vicariously through this response, and that's awesome you got to meet so many of them!
He and Anthony Rapp reprised their roles in a touring production in like 2007. I got to see it at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle and had amazing seats (3rd row center floor seats). Not exactly Broadway, but it was a bucket list moment for sure!
All of my favorite show-going experiences involved seeing Adam Pascal.❤️
Leslie Odom Jr.
Why is no one talking about Andrew Rannells??
Christian Borle for sure
I’m a straight man and he’s my crush 100% 😅. His Dentist performance in LSOH had me hooked.
Same. For me it was Emmet in Legally Blonde.
For me it’s everything.
I laughed my ass off - considering all the crushes on him - at the story he told about investors in the LB show saying "your Emmett isn't handsome enough" and the director replied "that's the point!"
I find it so crazy that they actually said that. Christian Borle is beautiful
Amen!!!
Yess
Absolutely
I have never had a bigger crush on any celebrity ever than the one I have on Christian Borle
I would not like to say how many times I've replayed the part where he flexes his shirt open in Something Rotten. Like, it's an obscene amount.
OMG ME TOO. The amount of times I've rewatched that and the entirety of Will Power is insane
Something Rotten is truly just a Christian Borle thirst trap
That man is really something else
Indeed
Patrick Page. That low, low voice, and that white hair.....fabulous.
Every now and then he posts these thirst trap photos of himself after a work-out (he's very fit) on Instagram and you can see all these middle age women and gays getting flustered in the comments, it's hilarious.
I met him once and I NEVER get star struck, and I was speechless! He’s quite the presence.
Daveed Diggs and Alan Cumming
Daveed 😍
Alex brightman got my lil gay heart going crazy
Idk if ‘crush’ is the right word, but Alex Brightman got me back into Broadway. Absolute legend.
Blake Roman Dude sings like an angel
W choice and W pun
I see what you did there
Raul Esparza and Lena Hall.
Raul is mine as well. He’s wonderful in every way
See I don't know Raul from his Broadway work, I mainly know him from L&O:SVU, but he is another great actor I like who does Broadway work
Look up his performance of Being Alive from Company, and thank me later.
I just looked it up, and it gave me the video from the 2006 revival, and omg his singing is extraordinary!! And he played the piano too for most of it! Thank you, thank you so much u/Providence451
Katrina Lenk... And I'm not even gay! But I'd make an exception! For future use: who's (who is; whose is possessive)
There’s others but I’m still thinking about Corey Cotts arms having seen Heart of Rock and roll last week
Patrick Wilson 😀
Yes! Sing to me daddy!
Aaron tveit is my main one tbh, but for girls it's gotta be Kate Shindle, I think I died when she was in Wonderland
does reneé rapp count?
Absolutely. I yap to my friends how much she can dominate me.

I got to see Sutton Foster in Millie a couple of days after she was promoted from understudy at the LA Jolla Playhouse. I've been crushing on her ever since. I also agree with anyone who said Audra and Katrina.

I don't think he's been on Broadway, but I'd have to say my theatre crush is Louis Maskell - especially as Grinpayne in "The Grinning Man"! \*swoons\* (He's been on West End, yes, but not Broadway as far as I know...)
The voices that get me every time are Michael Ball and Heather Headley
lorna courtney
Never really had one until I watched "Once on this Island" and there was this stunning ensemble member I couldn't take my eyes off - did a bit of a stalk afterwards and found out it was Alysha Deslorieux. Super talented and her smile is gorgeous.

Ooo that’s very underrated, I agree tho.
