Well, I think Derrick was jaw-droppingly hot..especially up close. But I always thought that in the play..there was more to Fiyero than his attractiveness. Think about what happens..there are all these dorks in uniforms prouncing around. Galinda is a prissy, bubbly, bouncing goofball..although it is clear that academics do matter to her. (After all, she desperately wants to be in the sorcery program..and that is what Elphaba does for her to "repay" her for the hat and Nessa thing.) Galinda alway

Saw Derrick in St Louis. Not only did I not find him to be "gay" acting (whatever that means)..I thought that his portrayal of Fiyero was quite accurate to the impression I had of Fiyero based on the novel. I thought he portrayed the idea of Fiyero being a party guy who went much deeper than that quite well, and for the first time since hearing the music of the show I understood why the women would be attracted to him.
In fact, I thought his ALAYM was SMOKING HOT. Stephanie and Derrick

I'm 27, so I would of been old enough to see the original cast. It wasn't really on my radar back then. It is foolish to assume that anyone could see the show though..even $20 tickets would have been way too much of a luxury back then for me..my family was trying to find money to put food on the table.
That all being said, I'm old enough now to go see productions on my own. I live in nowhere Missouri, and the closest tour stop is usually St Louis which is a three hour drive. I'll be hea

I brought up the friend thing. I am sure that people actually do become friends with actors that they meet at a stage door or whatever. To me, a friend means that they would call you, or hang out with you. They are your friend removed from the show. They are not your friend if you only see them when you get their autograph.
I have seen a few instances in the past week where people have said that they are friends with a Broadway performer. How do they know? Because they returned a signed

The only people who bug me are the ones who have no boundaries and no perception of reality. Sure, love Wicked. Love Rent. See the show every night if you want. Go to the stage door every night if it makes you happy.
But if Idina returns a signed picture to you, do not go on messageboards and drop into the conversation "And Idina is my really good friend"
Because she's not.

"Most girls walk into the theater wanting to be Glinda," Block says, "but they leave the theater wanting to be Elphaba. That's such a great statement because . . . society pounds into young women [the need] to be the kind, bubbly, beautiful, blond-haired, sparkly girl. But by the end of the play, they've found something deeper. . . . I find that to be such a true and beautiful and strong statement."
I like that.

I didn't see anyone dissing any other performer except for you footlooser, saying she is not worthy of all the BWW praise.
The original poster was just saying that while he loves Idina, he would have preferred to see Stephanie in the OBC. Maybe an overtalked about topic, but not bashing at all.
Anyway, I think Stephanie has an amazing voice and I hope she gets everything she is hoping for.

re: Wierd Question... Idina's Rent tatoo?

But your point is? She's not trying to get a art piece done on her body. She liked a tattoo that she saw and wants that done. She's not trying to make a statement, be creative or contribute to the art portfolio of a particular tattoo artist.
She is chosing to put a design on HER body that she finds appealing. Who cares if it is done in a touristy place or something someone else would get? If that's what she wants, then more power to her. I have a tattoo which I like a lot, but I'm not s

Thanks for the review! I think they have sound problems sometimes when they get to a new town. I had trouble hearing Stephanie from the nosebleed seats in the first couple of songs and then they turned up her mic and it was much better.

Well it seems logical to believe that in the world there are people with the same tattoos. Think how many people have cartoon characters, or tribal bands that are all the same.
Anyway, sorry, I don't have a picture of the tattoo but I'm sure you can find one somewhere online.
