Donna was simply lovely when I saw her on tour...a wonderful addition to the Wicked family.
Also Meredith Kaye Clark knocks the roof of the theatres too.

Word around the theater is that its not that great of a show..Melissa has one song and isn't that 'nice' to listen to. Sets are being called 'boring'. Its early though, that's just the few things I've heard from those that have seen it...pretty generic descriptions of course.

Good reviews William T.
I agree with you on the percussion thing too. :)
I saw it last Thursday and was very excited to see Julia. I thought she was great! With so many people saying such great things about her, I was glad to see her and most importantly hear her.

Saw the show tonight at 7:30pm. The Ordway is pretty big, and most of the floor was full. The show was ok, I thought Diana did a good job. Melba missed her cue on Superlover, needed prompting to begin the first line and stumbled thru a lot of lines. The people around me seemed to really enjoy it and they did get a standing ovation. Diana did talk after the show saying thanks and that they were honored to be in MN for the opening.

I've always stayed at the Crowne Plaza-the location is the best. Not the greatest staff at times, but its not bad. I recently stayed at the Residence Inn--its a newer place and its over on 38th and 6th I think. The rooms are all suites, the staff could not have been nicer and they have a wonderful lounge area where in the mornings there is a free breakfast and apparently in the evenings there is food too (depending on what day of the week it is). I went with the Residence Inn because the Cro

I recall reading that too. I think a few girls did wear the tracksuits and of course Idina ran screaming the other way.
That honestly scares me.

Saw it in Ft. Myers, Florida on Sunday the 27th while I was on vacation. Went to the 7:15 show and another was going on at 7:45 I think. I would say there was about 50-60 people in the theater. Reaction from the people around me was good, I heard a lot of sniffling with the funeral scence (including myself). It was a pretty laid back group, a few laughs here and there. My sister commented that the crowd didn't seem into it. I haven't seen the stage version and I really enjoyed the movie.

"the one with the green girl" Hahaha, that's a good one, I like it.
All anyone can say is that its live theater, you cannot predict what could happen on any give night, at any given time.
KC had like a strained neck or something and wasn't it the hair flip, that would aggravate it? I think she had therapy and all that to help it, along with a neck brace.

Saw Brooklyn this past Saturday for the first time. I thought it was ok, wasn't the best, but wasn't the worst either. I would say the theatre was at least 80-90% full and the crowd was very into it. Screaming and yelling after songs and clapping like crazy. But I wouldn't be too happy about paying full price to see it--got rush tix and sat in the 2nd row, for me that was a steal. I think all 5 of the actors were great, but its just not the greatest story.
