Live Out Loud Interview

Live Out Loud Spring Gala

Hosting the Live Out Loud Spring Gala last night was an incredible eye opening experience. I was so excited about being there and sharing my story with everyone in attendance because of the strong connection I feel to the organizations goals. I can only hope that my journey may inspire someone else to live out loud and proud. It was extremely moving and I look forward to working with this non profit again and again.

Tribeca

I attended the premiere of "An Englishman in New York" during the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center on April 27, 2009 in New York City with my brother Anthony. We loved the film. A huge thank you to Calvin Klein for my clothes.

what a day

I'm looking forward to a busy day. Easter Bonnet, LIVE OUT LOUD Gala, and then the North American premiere of An Englishman in New York at the Tribeca Film Festival.

23rd Annual Easter Bonnet

I'll be representing Guys and Dolls with a few cast mates today and tomorrow at the 23rd Annual Easter Bonnet Competition. This event is a fundraiser for Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS. A limited number of tickets will be available to purchase prior to each performance at the “Will Call Reception Table” located in the lobby of the Minskoff Theater. Ticket Sales will begin at 3:00PM for the Monday performance and 12:30 for the Tuesday Performance. The Minskoff is located on 45th between 7th and 8th avenue.

The Frank DeCaro Show

Here is a pic from my visit to the Frank DeCaro Show on Sirius XM Radio on friday morning. I was joined by Nick Garafola, one of the senior scholarship recipients from Live Out Loud.

Theater Life

I recently did an exclusive interview with Theaterlife.com. I discuss my involvement with Live Out Loud and shed light on my connection to the organization and why I became involved. For the first time publicly, I open up about my past as a gay adolescent.

The Frank DeCaro Show

I will be on Sirius/XM Radio at 11:15am on the Frank DeCaro Show Live. I will be discussing Live Out Loud and their 8th annual Spring Gala that I will be hosting on Monday night.

365 Gay TONIGHT!

Don't miss my CBS feature on 365 GAY News on Logo tonight at 7pm. Itay Hod takes a look inside a day of my life. I am excited to see the interview. Let me know what you think.

An Englishman at Tribeca

My film debut, An Englishman in New York, will premiere monday night at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival. Richard Laxton's An Englishman in New York, which is a smart, sensitive drama that reveals the wild and dark days of gay culture in the pivotal era surrounding the outbreak of the AIDS crisis. John Hurt reprises the role of English writer, Quentin Crisp, and is joined by Cynthia Nixon, Denis O'Hare, Jonathan Tucker, and Swoosie Kurtz in an important film that paints a picture of Crisp's life in New York City in the early 80's.

CBS GAY News on LOGO

Tomorrow April 23 at 7pm on the LOGO network, a CBS News feature will air that profiles yours truly. Itay Hod interviews and documents a day in the life of Nick Adams. We meet up at New York Health and Racquet Club, go to lunch, and then tour the Nederlander with a full interview in the theatre before the show.

Miss-ed USA

These women are savvy, goal-oriented and aware. The delegates who become part of the Miss Universe Organization display those characteristics in their everyday lives, both as individuals, who compete with hope of advancing their careers, personal and humanitarian goals, and as women who see to improve the lives of others.

(missusa.com)
Nothing about Miss California's answer to the question of Gay Marriage says "humanitarian" nor does it coincide with improving the lives of others. Discrimination does not promote human welfare.

Dance Spirit

Ill be doing a photo shoot with my cast mate Kearran Giovanni tomorrow for the July/August issue of Dance Spirit Magazine. We will be working with photographer Jacob Pritchard at Lumen House in Brooklyn NY. I have been a big fan of DS since my ballet school days and am really looking forward to working with the publication.

Dancing with Sergio and Nick

TWITTER

Okay so after my brother urged me to do it, I broke down and joined Twitter. You can follow me here.

Every Little Step

I attended the New York premiere screening of Every Little Step last night at the Paris theatre accompanied by my brother Anthony David Adams. The documentary about actors auditioning for a musical is a celebration not only of what it means to be a professional dancer on Broadway but also of the iconic musical, A Chorus Line, that captured it so well. The documentary interweaves the casting of the revival, over 3,000 actors auditioned for the production, with footage and interviews with the original creators, including star Donna McKechnie, composer Marvin Hamlisch, and Bennett associate and friend Bob Avian. Watching this film again was such a bitter sweet experience. Not only did it remind me of how much I miss performing A Chorus Line on Broadway, but it also refreshed my perspective of my dream. I love this life and am so fortunate to do what I do. Thank you for making this film. It sheds insight on what it means to be a dancer, to pursue a dream, and the brilliance that is A Chorus Line.

Anthony David Adams

Congrats to my brother Anthony David Adams on a very successful appearance on The Strategy Room at Foxnews.com. He managed to turn the hour long show into a panel discussion focusing on his plight against corporal punishment. Checkout his infamous blog at detentionslip.org

V for Victory

Vermont became the fourth state to approve same-sex marriages. And they were the first to do so through legislation. Congratulations. Another success as we get closer to acceptance and equal civil rights for all.

Roundabout

I had the privilege of performing along side Brooke Shields last night at the Roundabout Theatre's Spring Gala. The event was hosted by Tony Award winner Nathan Lane (Waiting for Godot, The Producers).

Roundabout took their guests back in time to the heyday of big bands and classic songs in New York City with a unique evening called "Take Me Back to Manhattan" at Roseland Ballroom (239 West 52nd St, NYC).

For one night only, Roundabout recreated a swanky nightclub circa 1940 featuring the music of the day's great composers: Rodgers, Porter, Arlen, Berlin, Ellington, Gershwin and more. The golden age was recaptured as guests were treated to a gourmet dinner, live auction and the highlight of the evening, an original musical revue created by Tony Award® winner Kathleen Marshall, director and choreographer of The Pajama Game and Grease. The revue featured today's hottest Broadway stars revisiting the classic songs that were the popular hits of the day.

Ought to give IOWA a try...

Iowa becomes the first state in the Midwest to allow same sex marriage! Unanimously the Iowa Supreme Court decided that a 1998 law banning same sex marriage is unconstitutional. This is a huge day for equality! Way to GO!
