Yes, I saw her in the Saturday matinee a few weeks ago.

Aaron Tveit is very talented, but when I first saw the promos for this I thought he looked badly miscast. The performance itself did not change my opinion.

I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet, but overall I think it sounds great. The only thing, as others have mentioned, is that the God-awful narration is included. Already, one or two moments that were about to give me a chill were ruined by some over-excited ensemble member exclaiming "And THEN! Quasimodo did THIS!" as if narrating a children's show. It was terrible in the show live and in some ways it's even more terrible here.

I also saw the show in Orlando this weekend. I almost didn't go because I had such an extraordinary experience when I saw it in NY and knew that it couldn't be duplicated. I did enjoy it very much though. Sasha Allen's words do get lost sometimes and her backphrasing was a little annoying, but I ended up enjoying her. Sam Lips, however, seemed to be sleepwalking through the role. I don't know if he was having an off day or what, but I was actually kind of shocked. Very little energy, throwing...

"Let It Go" has always been in Wicked. It's called "Defying Gravity".

To me, Wicked is one of those "Anything you can sing, I can sing louder" shows.

I find it too long and badly plotted, with a bunch of loose ends tied up with a line or two of dialogue in the last 5 minutes...as if someone realized they were closing in on 4 hours and needed to wrap it up quick. Having said that, I do get why most ...

The only reason "Suddenly" even exists is because to be nominated for an Oscar, a song must be "original"(written for the film), so none of the songs which appear in the stage version of Les Miz would qualify. This is why whenever a stage musical is adapted for film, there is invariably a new song written and shoehorned in.

I'm finding her very tough to listen to at times...very shrill, especially in New Argentina. I also noticed the lack of Latin "flair" in Ricky Martin's performance. He sounds like a Boy Scout singing O What A Circus.

You can also move to Florida and get hired by Disney as a singer, dancer, or actor (not character performer).
