RENT's Pascal & Rapp Reunite in Concert for One Night on Long Island 1/15

Landmark on Main Street's Jeanne Rimsky Theater is excited to welcome back Long Islander, Adam Pascal who will be joined by his Rent co-star Anthony Rapp on Saturday, January 15 at 7 PM. Landmark thanks Program Sponsors Elise & Marvin Tepper and gratefully acknowledges our Partners in Performing Arts: Harding Real Estate, Pall Corporation and the Town of North Hempstead for their season support.

Adam Pascal was raised in Syosset, New York. His musical career began as a singer in rock bands. In 1996, Adam tried out for the then unknown, off-Broadway production of Rent and he famously landed the role of Roger Davis. Adam was nominated for a 1996 Tony Award as Best Actor (Musical), and won a Drama League and Obie award for his performance as Roger. The show went on to become a worldwide success and one of the longest running shows in Broadway history. His other Broadway credits include the role of Radames in Elton John and Tim Rice's musical Aida, for which he received a Drama League award and as Emcee in the Sam Mendes/Rob Marshall production of Cabaret at Studio 54. Adam co-starred with Josh Groban and Idina Menzel in the Tim Rice/Abba musical Chess at The Royal Albert Hall, in London. Adam is currently developing a musical for Broadway based on the concept album Operation Mindcrime, by the progressive rock band Queensryche.
In film, Adam appeared along side Jack Black, in School of Rock and, of course reprised the role of Roger in the 1995 movie version of Rent and helped bring a new generation of fans to the Broadway show and its music. Adam's journey with Rent finally came to its conclusion when in 2009, he reprised the role one last time alongside Anthony Rapp, in "Rent The Broadway Tour", which traveled all over the U.S. as well as Japan and South Korea.

Adam's latest CD entitled Blinding Light is currently in release and he has two films currently in release, Falling Star and American Primitive.
Anthony Rapp has been acting and singing professionally since he was nine years old. With an extensive list of achievements, Rapp is best known for originating the role of 'Mark Cohen' in Jonathan Larson's Tony Award-winning rock opera Rent, for which he shared an OBIE Award with the rest of the cast. He reprised his role in Chris Columbus' film version opposite other members of the original cast and recently visited the role with original cast member Adam Pascal in the Rent Tour.
Anthony has an extensive theatre background; his most recent Broadway show was Second Stage Theatre's Some Americans Abroad. Other Broadway credits include the revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation. His Broadway debut was in Precious Sons with Judith Ivey and Ed Harris, for which he received an Outer Critics Circle award and a Drama Desk nomination.

Film credits include Adventures in Babysitting, School Ties, Dazed and Confused, Six Degrees of Separation, Man of the Century, David Searching, Road Trip, and A Beautiful Mind (SAG Award nomination for Ensemble). He has also appeared in Winter Passing, a film written and directed by his brother, Adam Rapp. Anthony will next be seen in Don Roos' 17 Photos of Isabelle opposite Natalie Portman, Lisa Kudrow and Jefferey Dean Morgan.

A writer as well, Anthony wrote a book entitled Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent (Simon & Schuster) about his struggle to balance the demands of life in the theatre with his responsibility to his family during his mother's battle with cancer. He recently adapted the book into a one-man show entitled Without You which he has performed on stages throughout the country, including a very successful Off Broadway run last month.
