The Original Adam Garcia

 Saturday Night Fever Show Reports

15th - 18th March 1999

Monday 15th March
Adam looked pale and tired when he first came on but bucked up within about 15 seconds. I think those pelvic thrusts send oxygen to his brain. They certainly do mine. I think he'd done his hair in a hurry - he had a perpendicular quiff that had been lacquered into an immobile peak but the rest of his hair was flopping all over the place. Anita was off so Zoe played Stephanie. Adam was getting very restless with her bad timing and could not fool around with her the way he does with Neet. Monty at the end of the Gym class said to the girl who arrives late - "and you.. don't wear that leotard again it's nauseating.
Outrageously obscene gestures on the bridge - Adam you bad boy. Immortality was perfect. We stood up at the end and gave him a standing ovation at which point he looked down at us and said "Jesus Christ - sit down!"
Came out in good time - carrying three bags and one more he left leaning sulkily against the railings. His over laquered hair was lying flat against his head and we discussed at length his aversion to styling his hair and hair products.
He was very chatty and said the Auction on Friday raised about 900 for Comic Relief. (CJ & L

Tuesday 16th March
All the main cast had returned with the added benefit of no L - so boy were we flirting tonight. Hair still on the wild side but had been firmly gelled down by the second half. The appearance of a new shirt for the dance studio scene (replacing the pink one). The most gruesome plum coloured thing with multi coloured squares - it clashed dreadfully with the burgundy trousers. He was shooting Tara with a pretend gun from the bridge and trying to throw her by forgetting his lines in the "I've got something to tell ya and it ain't gonna be easy" scene. Richard was still on wicked form saying to Adam when he went over to the DJ's box "Have you had Cosmetic Surgery". Followed up by "He wears a wig you know" over the applause at the end of More Than a Woman. Immortality was slightly marred by this irritating girl in the Front row (regulars to the show will know exactly who we mean) who was brushing her hair all the way through - Adam threw her a dagger look but she's obviously too ignorant or thick skinned to realise what a nuisance she's being. COP ON GIRL BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!! Complete sweetie at a quiet Stage Door - taking home a carrier bag of used envelopes to be recycled - our boy is so environmently friendly.

Wednesday 17th March
It was a typical Wednesday evening - everyone punch drunk after the matinee and a bit knackered but well warmed up and fizzing with fun. Zoe replacing Anita again, also off were Peter Bishop, JC and still Lara. Adam very playful - comment to the Boogie Shoes girls "I'd like to fill my mouth". He was rubbing noses with Tara in Night Fever and helping Louise to adjust her downward slipping mike pack in Disco Inferno. But the memory I will cherish above all is on the bridge, where Adam turned round leaned out backwards and wiggled the world's cutest buns at Tara, How she kept going I don't know. After Monday's searching for nits in Richards hair like a very attractive chimp and Tuesdays balletic bits, last nights encore featured strange posturing and a good bit of groping.
He sang Immortality at a level of perfection hitherto unimagined - very passionate and moving. Sweet as can be at the Stage Door, posing for pics and chatting with some strangely dressed fans. Spent time with the Warwick girls - old friends for whom this was their last show of SNF. Keep in touch girls. (CJ

Thursday 18th March
Tonight's show was so full of incident I don't know where to start so a straight list is probably best or I'll run out of space. Adrian came out for Boogie Shoes with no jacket. Ads looking surprised said "You cold?" and at one point started to take off his own jacket and offer it. Then when he's on his knees in the routine instead of the customary Ooh, we had bbbring brrring "Hello" Doreen poked Ads in the eye when she was wiping his forehead and when he got up to dance with her he deliberately wandered round with his hands out like a blind man.
The front part of the bridge would not descend from the ceiling so they did the whole of JT on the back of the bridge to great amusement - Tap Dancing and killing themselves laughing for most of it. And Richard Calkin was at his name calling best. "Oh look there's Bobby C - how's it going Pencil Dick" To Ads at the DJ box "Are u wearing make-up" To Ads when he dances past in the contest "Ooh baby cute butt - and u too Stephie"
And the worst of the night "That was the pert breasted Stephanie Mangano and the stiff bollocked Tony Manero" Again the front of the bridge refused to descend for Bobby to fall of it and the cast were really finding it hard to hold it together. At the encore - Adam reversed to the back of the stage like he was driving a Tractor which he then put into forward gear and drove off stage laughing the whole time. The whole performance was breathtaking and completely insane. Adam again in more summery gear at the Stage Door - no anorak or woolly hat. And get this he has a pair of great new oval, silver glasses - that just look terrific.
End of the week but look out for pictures over the next few days all taken this week of Adam's warmer weather wardrobe - yeah perhaps the Funky Dog hat's gone for good!!!!!!
