Wow, I would love to see that! I've seen Hamilton many, many times over the years and Lencia is THE best Angelica I've ever seen live. Her voice is incredible and I can totally see her playing Elphaba

Yikes. What made you so bitter? Who hurt you? Is it...age?
I agree WSS is incredible but that doesn't take away from the fact that Chu is the best in the biz who is eager to make movie musicals. It's possible that both can be talented directors without your weird vitriol towards Chu.

Yeah #2 was my biggest issue with the whole film tbh. I thought it killed the momentum too much.
#1 didn't bother me as a big fan of Wicked. It was pure fan service for the people who know the OG witches. The theatre went crazy when Idina did the big note.

Just got home after seeing an Amazon early preview, and I thought it was wonderful (pun intended). Everyone who complained about the film split is going to feel foolish because it's so earned. I can't imagine rushing through the story considering the rich, immersive world Chu created. You can tell everything was crafted with love and respect for the material while adding a freshness that popped on screen. I liked all of the performances except possibly Morrible, but that has less to d

Lauren is fantastic and seems poised to take over on Broadway.
I also think it could be fun to invite some veteran cast members to do a shorter runs to coincide with Wicked Part 2. Fan favorites like Jessica Vosk, Eden Espinosa, Katie Rose Clarke, Kara Lindsay, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Kathy Fitzgerald, etc etc. It won't happen but if they got some big names for a short run to celebrate the film I would buy a ticket so fast.

Sure Jan. I'm sure Michael Arden saw that set and was like "hmmm let me blatantly rip off this West End version of Company."
Do you hear how absolutely absurd you sound or.....?

I found this to be long, dull, and boring. I did not find the premise to be interesting, and I found both Darren and Helen grating and charmless. This is a problemfor an almost two hour intermissionless show where they are the only ones onstage for 95% of the time.

It's just another way that Mackintosh tried to muddle the difference between the original and this reduced-to-save-money version that's now playing in London.
And Smaxie, you're probably my favorite poster on here ever so it pains me to criticize your post, but you haven't seen the show since the 90's and you

I can understand being annoyed/bothered by the AI video showing Cynthia and Ariana physically fighting, but the fan-made poster edit was so benign. I could understand speaking out against the AI video but not punching down at a fan who had some fun in photoshop. If the person who made the poster can be located, Erivo should really apologize to them. I can't fathom being a fan and then the movie's star attacks you out of the blue for no good reason. However bad Cynthia felt seeing that edit, I'm

Not gonna lie, I'm very entertained by the general public learning how insufferable Erivo can be on social media. It was very much a "if you know you know" thing.

& JULIET Replacement Casting

She's a dancer so I guess the casting makes "sense" to draw in some people. I'm sure they'll be using her name a lot in marketing but won't specify she's in the ensemble and not a leading role. I doubt it will actually boost ticket sales and will just result in mobs of kids at the stagedoor.

Why thank you, how kind. This only increases my vitriol for a 90 minute musical costing $18 million. Ask anyone in town for a copy of the offering documents."
Drop the vitriol. You were spreading wrong info and I corrected you.

Yes, if I recall correctly she played Angelica for a short time while Jennie Harney-Fleming was on leave/break.

Totally agree. I thought Ta'Rea was phenomenal and she has a killer voice. I was hoping she was the replacement.

I'll never understand the love for the music so much. It sounds nice but is painfully generic and bland.
Almost every song could be transplanted into another musical and you'd never notice. That is NOT good.
