i know we dont all love wicked lol, but i do remember near the end of her run, idina would hold out "is ever gonna bring meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee down!" for a verrrry long time. it usually started a standing ovation. at least at the performance i was at. i have also heard from others the same comment. thats pretty high up there (both vocally and the fact that she is 60 ft in the air standing on a tiny little platform). to me it doesnt seem too easy. i give everyone on broadway alot of credit.

I recently did this show and played john adams. tough tough tough show to do. u really have to be in every moment. it really comes through to u when u think about how important the situation really is. i love the show. it can be a tad long, but its worth it. i love the score too. i actually wish there were more songs. is anybody there is my favorite. i loved performing it. anyway, back in the 60's, singing was as important as it is today, especially on broadway. it was mostly geared toward actin

On January 5th 2005, I saw Wicked with Idina. It was a few nights before the end of her run. She sang Defying Gravity (like she usually does lol). Anyway, when she sang "It's meeee!" the audience went wild. Not only that, on her first "ever gonna bring meeee down", she held out the "me" forever. The audience stood up then and there and began clapping. It was great. She started crying then. I loved it. Also, at the end of The Color Purple the audience went pretty wild as well.

Ive seen / heard all of the elphabas. they are all very talented and very nice too. i havent come across one that wasnt kind. they all want the best...and in the end, they are doing it. theyre up there defying gravity nightly so i really dont think they care at all what goes on here lol. anyway, they are all very talented. unless anyone has been a lead in a broadway show and knows what its like to go up in front of thousand of people in a very vocally demanding show, i dont think they should be

I was john adams in 1776 last year, and we did it with the intermission (following "mama look sharp"). But i do remember the first act being very long, especially the 3rd scene which was about 20 minutes of dialogue. Its really a play with songs, not really a musical. still wonderful though :)

I LOVED Dance of The Vampires! I also loved the broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors. Not sure if that was a flop though.

I was there as well! Great show! I was sitting towards the back, but not as far back as others. It was sooooo crowded. People really need to learn how to get off their cell phones and try to be somewhat quiet. The sound went in and out. When it was in, it was fantastic! I thought everyone did a great job tonight! Bebe was my favoirte. Her voice isnt that wonderful, but theres just something about her. I was surprised to see Liza, but it was great! I also sat right near Kate Reinders and Jenna Le

I think it was mid-way through her run. Towards the end is when she made her songs one giant riff lol. Which I actually enjoyed. I love all the Elphabas and what they do with the part. :)

Jessica Grove / WIcked

I was just reading that Jessica Grove (Dorothy in MSG's The Wizard of Oz, Broadways Les Miz and Thoroughly Modern Millie) was called back a few times for the original company of Wicked. I think for the part of Nessarose. Where I was reading it, the interviewer said "dont be surprised if we see her in this show in the near future anyway". That got me thinking. This girl is amazing. Pure talent. Does anyone else think she could be Nessa. I could totally see her. Maybe even the next Elphaba standby

Wicked June 14 Review

So...
I have seen Wicked 3 times prior. Twice with Idina and once with Shoshana. All three times were amazing! Idina was the original and therefore had a certain magic about her. Not to mention a loud brassy set of pipes. Shoshana was loud, belty, and poppy, which I also loved! She def. had the coolest twist on Elphaba. I am pleased to say that I can add Ms. Eden Espinosa to my list! This girl can do it all! Her acting was dead on, and her voice...there are no words. Her Defying Gravity
