I guess I am in the minority, but I love the OLC with Elaine Paige. I tend to listen to that more than Broadway, as I am not a huge Mandy Patankin fan.

From Datalounge:
I've got a Mandy story from THE SECRET GARDEN. This college friend of mine was cast in the original company as an ensemble member and understudy to "Lily". Ha, I haven't talked to her since the 80s, and don't remember her name -- but I do remember the story someone told me about her experience doing that show.
Mandy was a major DIVA during the rehearsal process. Had to have his OWN vocal coach, etc. Just a pain in everyone's ass what with his attitude, etc.

Matty - Everyone saw it in previews - remember they kept extending the preview period so reviwers would not come in.
I saw it as well...I loved the old films, but this was an absolute mess.
Still I do have the cd on my ipod...go figure.

I believe she was in NYC around 1990 - it was the first show I saw on Broadway...and she was out the night I went.

My friend bailed out on me to go see Handel's "Flavio" at New York City Opera tonight.
Is anyone interested in accompanying me? No charge, just don't want the ticket wasted.

Well next to hunky Chad and Jason (from 'Altar Boyz') Max is kinda nebbish (still). And I didn't get Austin's appel. I was only half watching the show, and after Chad was booted, I stopped even that.

Alice Ripley said at the concert she did a workshop for "Kristina' and she did not play the title role, but played Ulrika...who is "the town wh0re"
But she loved the son "You Have To Be There" and wanted to sing it.

I love the song Alice Ripley sang at Town Hall (and is on the Alice Ripley/Emily Skinner 'Raw At Town Hall' cd) - called "You Have To Be There."
It is incredibly gorgeous and moving.

re: Requierments for broadway actor to go over to London

I am not sure - but it is a lot easier for a Broadway actor to go over than vice versa.
There is supposed to be recripocal agreements. For example, when American Equity did not want Sarah Brightman in 'The Phantom of the Opera' Andrew Lloyd Webber threatened to cancel the production (he had written it for her). In their subsequent agreement, he agreed to have an American actress in his next West End show. He actually had 2 - Ann Crumb and Kathleen Rowe McAllen in 'Aspects of Love.' <

I guess Cheyenne passed as well.
I also liked him in the Tori Spelling thing...I did not really care for him in 'Saturday Night Fever' - but then again, there was really nothing I liked in that show.
And Buffyverse fans, he is married to Amy Acker (Fred on 'Angel').

I saw a touring production about 15 years ago at the Wang Center in Boston...it was so-so.
Then I saw the London production, which was much better...and quite enjoyable.
But it was really never meant to be more than cats on skates.

I read the book many years ago, and saw the musical when it opened - but in my recollection - isn't Elphaba supposed to be pretty ugly?
