While, not exactly what you are asking for, a fun bit of trivia is I remember hearing Julia Murney saying when it came down to the final casting for Elphaba, it was Idina, Julia Murney, Ana Gasteyer,and Stephanie J. Block. All four women would lead a production (Broadway, tour, Chicago), with Murney being the first Elphaba replacment on tour.

Bernadette gave out an award...

I am so excited for this movie. Visually, this trailer makes it look a little "splashy, but we're also serious". I have heard many people who have seen a cut of the film say its very good, so I'm hopeful.

I will say the lighting is a lot brighter than I was expecting it to be, but I wonder if there will be another trailer that is more "dark", to contrast the story.

Not as elaborate, but we are doing 4 shows in 3 days in July here in Ontario.

Day 1: a regional production of Evita (a show I have always wanted to see)

Day 2: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Macbeth (set amoungst a biker gang) at the Stratford Festival

Day 3: Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet in Toronto

I knew I already knew what her news was, yet I still throughly enjoyed it, as I do every year. 

I would just like to echo the other posters, and say she should have won for Best Book.

It is interesting to read/hear about Aida, when 8 years or so later she stars as Ursula in The Little Mermaid for Disney.

 

Everyone keeps talking about Kicks here and there, and how wonderful it was. I would love to hear the score. The only thing I know is Karen Ziemba did  "I Want to Be a Rockette" on the PBS Leading Ladies concert.

That's a bold statement

 

Toronto got a stop of the UK tour this past fall, although not the same cast, I can say this was the subscription show I was least excited for, and was blown away by the staging and the puppetry. I highly recommend the show.

Full Encores cast is set to transfer, though it should also be notedthat Joy Woods — who was originally announced to play Sarah — will be free by the time this starts rehearsals.

"

How do you know Joy Woods will be free? I thought all 4 leads signed a one year contract.

Tarzan. I really enjoyed the stagecraft, imagination, visuals, and the score. Also, Merle Dandridge on stage in anything is a plus

Both. They've kept three songs from the original (Silly Song (just its yodels), Heigh Ho, Whistle While You Work) but removed all the operetta-style ones."

To be honest, I loved "One Song" for the Prince. Does he sing in the film?

I knew this would be the reaction. I knew this from the moment I heard Pasek and Paul were writing new songs. 

I look forward to seeing the verse you speak about though

Interesting that only 1 show is going to the Golden Gate...although, I know it's not everyone's fav theatre.

I had heard Liza put a stop to her verison playing after the losses.

I have no doubt this will be distributed somewhere. I think if that "tax-write off" route was what they were going for, they wouldn't have screen it at a film festival.
