I'm just curious as to how you guys know this information? Is it rumor or fact that Eden was offered a part in "Les Miz" and don't just say, "Oh, no, it's fact." WHY is it fact? Who knows who??? -Vincent

I don't know which is worse, the thought of a "Wizard of Oz" remake, or that McPhee girl getting a role in ANYTHING, let alone "Elphaba." The girl's voice is okay for local talent shows and community theater...nothing more. -Vincent

What I love is when I read, "When I first saw it, I hated it, then I saw it again and it was great." My question is, if you "hated" something, WHY see it again? Why take a seat away from someone who either loves it or hasn't seen it? It just makes no sense to me. As to how long "Wicked," or any show will run...no one knows. Had someone asked that about "Cats" early on, I'm sure no one would have guessed it to be the longest running show...ever. I think "Wicked" has more staying power than "Be...

Does anyone know anything about Manhattanville, as far as theater goes? I know it isn't like NYU or some of the others, but I've also read it isn't too bad either. Any info would be greatly appreciated. -Vincent

I would have loved to see Megan Hilty or Eden get a nomination...I know, I know... -Vincent

Gyspy, I agree. "A Star is Born" is one of my favorite films, but also Judy's best work, in my opinion. What I love about this woman, is that she could do anything. Her acting is unbeatable in "A Star is Born" (don't even get me started on that Grace Kelly fiasco) yet if you put her next to Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, she was a great dancer as well. Just watch "Easter Parade," and "Summer Stock." I just love her! -Vincent

Every time I tell people I'm a Judy Garland fan (which is an understatement) someone tells me I'm an "old school fag." Isn't that nice? Ugh, who cares, I love that woman. One of the most gifted singers and actors to ever grace the silver screen, then and now, in my humble opinion. Gotta love her, yet, I do agree...it's hard to watch much with her in it. You can just feel the heart ache...poor thing. -Vincent

I really love Eden in this role. It's good for her. My parent's saw it, and they are tough to please. They really enjoyed her. For someone who is so bored with the show, you win the lotto again, and this is your 7th time...lucky bastard!! hehe Just kidding. I want to see it a few more times before Oct. -Vincent

I, personally, find her to be quite lovely onstage. Her vocals are always on when I see/hear her, and her acting impressed me greatly. I wasn't expecting much from her in "Wicked," but she really had me feeling for her character...something I didn't feel for Shoshana or Stephanie. I felt it for Idina, I'm glad it's back with Eden. Even my parent's like her, and they're a tough crowd to please. -Vincent

Well, Bjh, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I thought Shoshana, although vocally talented, lacked greatly in actually "acting." I could see the wheels turning in her head, and all they said was, "I'm just another white, Jewish girl, trying to sound like Aretha Franklin, and since my R&B singing career hasn't taken off, despite my efforts to add a vocal run to every single note I sing, I'll do this Broadway show for a while." Don't get me wrong, I didn't totally dislike her when I saw her...

Did someone here actually say that Eden goes on these vocal runs too long to "show off" but then listed Shoshana as their favorite? Dear Goodness, it gets better every day. If anyone did NOTHING but vocal runs (and not a drop of acting) it was Shoshana -Vincent

Um...how old were the people "interviewing" her? I mean, if I had to read one more "totally" or "seriously" or one more stupid a$$ question, I was going to throw the computer. Megan, however, seems like a lovely human...although Christina...real talent? Ugh...even Megan has been fooled. -Vincent

Awesome, thank you so much for the information. -Vincent

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned, but I was just wondering if "Rabbit Hole" has a student rush policy? If anyone has any information regarding that, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -Vincent

Wow...I wish my parent's were really rich and would just give me thousands of dollars to take a spring break vacation, seeing 15 (?) shows. I wonder what that's like. Sounds like the ideal vacation for me. However, during my spring break, I got to work and study...don't all be jealous now. -Vincent

I agree with Entertainment Weekly (which surprises me). Just give it to Tyne Daly now...I love that woman. -Vincent

If Kate Winslet ever came to B-way, I'd be online, at the stage door within minutes! She's one of the few women who could turn me straight...she's a breathtaking actor and just beautiful! -Vincent

I would find it more difficult for the lighting people than the actors, if the machine didn't go up, as it is supposed to. They must have to make a quick change of lightnig designs, right then and there, to get Elphaba lit. -Vincent

There isn't much fanatacism with Headly? Are you nuts? I've heard her sing so terribly and yet people STILL hail her performances...I've read just as much crazy fan crap about her as I have about Sutton Foster and Idina Menzel... -Vincent

I love how intense it looks. She looks beautiful. People who just don't like her are going to critisize everything, including posters. Lord knows if it was Heather Headly looking like that, people would be crying their eyes out because they all think she's so "wonderful." Ugh...anyway, I think Eden looks lovely. -Vincent
