There is no Dorothy doll for Wicked: For Good. that image says 'as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz'
She is a non speaking part in the film."

Jamie Lloyd-helmed EVITA revival to play the London Palladium in 2025 Jul 11

Zegler’s “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” is available on lol streaming platforms (both the studio and live versions).
IMO - it’s the definitive recording of the song.

Dolly Parton Broadway Bio Musical aiming for Spring 2025 Jul 10
2025, 03:59:15 PM
For obvious reasons, I understand why this is premiering in Nashville. However, I lived there for a decade, and it’s not exactly a theatre town. Even the few professional theatres struggle to fill seats — even for typically popular shows like Joseph, Mamma Mia, or Beauty and the Beast. That said, with Dolly’s star power and deep roots in the area, maybe this one will break through. Excited to see it come to NYC!

AUDRA GYPSY Reviews Jun 11
2025, 06:51:24 PM
I saw both Audra and Nicole. Both are fabulous performers, but felt that Nicole deserved the Tony.
Just from perusing a variety of social media discussions around this topic, I do have to say that many of the “AUDRA SHOULD HAVE WON” folks are… intense.

I wouldn't mind if Levy got replaced."
Agree 100% - she is totally wrong for the role.

Is Jamie *that* hard of a role? It’s not like he’s playing King Lear.

I don’t get the Zegler hate from people (not necessarily on this board - just in general). I find her to be incredibly talented with one of the most beautiful voices out there right now.
Although whoever designed her God-awful wig she is wearing in “Snow White” should be banned from ever working again…
I, for one, think she’s perfect for the role. I hope this transfers across the pond.

I wonder if Kat McPhee and/or Megan Hilty (especially since she's already in town) will be involved in the marketing for this over the next few weeks.

Whoopi Goldberg in ANNIE at MSG? Dec 11
2024, 08:21:49 PM
Love Whoopi, but very unsure if she will be able to deliver in this role at this point in her career. I watch The View daily, and she seems to be increasingly struggling as moderator on that show.

I doubt that people who are unfamiliar with Wicked would recognize that as Goldblum’s voice. The scene is so fast-paced and packed with action that viewers new to the story might not immediately think, “Oh, the Wizard is the Wicked Witch’s dad.”

I saw the film last night. I agree with majority of people who have seen the film that this is one of the greatest musical adaptations of all time.
I truly don’t understand the few complaints I’ve heard about the visuals or run time. I found it to be stunning and well-paced.
Cynthia and Ariana knocked it out of the park.

It’ll have a nice first week, but most of the reviewswill be tepid (save for the two leads’ performances) and it will be overshadowed by MOANA 2 come Turkey Day."
I think you’re about to be proven very wrong.

I’ve heard riffing / optioning up in One Short Day, Popular, Wizard and I, Dancing Through Life, and Defying Gravity, just from the trailers and clips. It’s a little much. Is Doctor Dillamond gonna turn Something Bad into an American Idol audition? That’s my one criticism so fa

I went in still not totally sold on this being two parts but yes, it absolutely 100% earns every second of it's run time and Ariana and Cynthia are divine.
