Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp at Athenaeum Theater April 9 2026

Hi All!

I admit, I'm more of a 70s-80s rock concerts girl, than theater girl (sorry!) But Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp are performing their 2 man concert show at the Athenaeum theater on April 9.

My mom and I have wanted to see them to together for 21 years! And have been fans since the movie version of RENT. My mom did see a production of RENT around the time they two went back to their original roles, but she ended up seeing another touring version, this is a long time coming for us to see them!

I've heard many stories of fans meeting them after the show, but they do many of their shows in NYC at 54 Below and instructions of how to meet them pertain to that venue.

So question, do you think they will greet the crowd here in Chicago? I've never been to this venue before- will they be at the stage door? Or the lobby? Or outside the main entrance?

I've never "stage doored" before- lol. But I do know how to be prepared and I know its not a guarantee- coming from the rock world, I know not to be disappointed when all of this is chance based. I have met musicians after the show in the lobby of small venues, but thats because they announced on stage they would be there afterwards, or I read stories of how their process works.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks! 😁
