I wonder of him working on this is why the last book in the Another Day (Wicked Sequel) trilogy, which just came out in fall 2023--a year after the second book--was so bad. It read like a first draft that got thrown to the publisher before any revisions or edits.

I would be fine with the implication that she lives, but I hope it’s not super obvious."

Too bad we can't get the last bit of the book in there (or maybe we can? With Glinda telling the story to someone?):

Thank goodness they aren't just CGI-ing the green in later. I'm loving the sharpness of the coat collar. It kind of gives me vibes from the book, very utilitarian and stark.

was Casey responsible for the Aladdin revisions from Toronto to Broadway? If so, it will be interesting to see what can be done with Hercules, based on the reviews/critiques. I do think that the Aladdin revisions from Toronto to Broadway made the show a lot safer but also a bit more bland in the process.

I'm guessing since Six is coming in May/June, they're making the announcement far earlier than normal. I'm a subscriber but didn't get the email, though.

Kyla Stone was great in Anastasia. Definitely hard to make a poorly written character like Anya work, but she did a lot with the role to make it better.

Oh dear, you think that writing a few sentences means that I'm upset? If reading a few sentences is too much for you and indicates anything other than someone sharing their thoughts, I don't know what to tell you. Seems like you prefer people to shut up and mindlessly praise others.

"Omg!! They are SOOo right about Erivo! She makes veteran actresses with incredible voices look like HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMERS :P :P :P :P :P!!" seems more up your alley.

You defended your statements when you attempted to shut me down merely for responding to them. Again, if you want a vacuum, there are options for that.

BrodyFosse123 said: "We got it. No need to continue ranting. Go outside for a walk. Move on. No need to keep dragging your point. Wow! You truly are a piece of work. This is just a message board. You read comments. You see one that upsets you, you move on. You DON’T let it affect you. You have some pie instead. Life’s too short, bro. To argue with strangers. "

A message board is for discussing. Sorry that your friends working on the film unnecessarily dragging down every actress to play Elphaba in an attempt to boost Erivo up wasn't perfectly received in a vacuum or given only butt pats.

If you'd like to make comments that no one can respond to, I suggest tweeting with the comment option locked. Otherwise, time to put on your grown up pants and deal with other people discussing what you say.

It's not affecting me, though I'm sure you fervently wish it was, much in the same way your buddies wish Erivo was actually making actresses like Willemijn Verkaik look like a high school performers. You, on the other hand, seem quite in a tizzy about a single negative comment over your friend's unnecessary negativity. Wonder why that is.

Blessed day!

Slang usage on the internet is gross to you? Grow up.


As for Erivo’s performance, it’s delusional to think she wouldn’t absolutely kill the score. Did you see The Color Purple? Everything about your post seems unnecessarily negative about something we haven’t seen yet, so please get a hobby"

Slang isn't gross, but using slang from outdated Lost Cause narratives that mock AAVE is, yes.

"Sho' wuz"? Gross.

Although if two paragraphs is too much for you to handle, perhaps you and your hyperbolic friends working on this potential flop of a film are in good company.

Maybe they'll actually incorporate the Time Dragon Clock into the story, or rather a version of it altered to suit the musicals' narrative.

I can also see them maybe naming some of the students after book characters, like maybe have students called Tibbett and Crope.

It's especially disheartening to read about the unsafe conditions on set, and the injuries. It's hard to think about the awe inspired by the atmosphere of the "Titanic" trailer without thinking about how someone was unable to work for half a year because of it. I'm surprised there weren't reports of other injuries on that set, or maybe other actors haven't spoken out about them.
