I think Kelli O'Hara is just so beautiful. I didn't see it before, but the more and more I saw of her, I just realized how GORGEOUS she was. However, I think Idina Menzel has some REALLY great pictures. She looks very stunning. "Effortlessly striking".
I really loved the name Clara before Piazza or Passion or stuff like that. I especially how symbolic it was to the show as well (the LIGHT in the Piazza...) And a close friend's name is Claire, so I'll probably end up naming a daughter Clara (if anything). And kind of random, but I LOVE the name Gabriel, for a boy. But I hate the nickname "Gabe"...
Ken- No worries. IF it's true that Julia Murney is taking over as Elphaba, you can rest easy. Though two completely different women, both are EXCELLENT performers and kind people.
