I hope they're able to recover everything and be in ATL soon. I don't remember the last time Wicked has cancelled a performance, let alone an entire week or entire engagement. Jan 2016 in Charlotte, NC is the last time I remember a cancelled performance. That is, of course based off of my limited following of this tour. They very well could have another by now.

All of them appear in their natural hair. Though, I may be wrong so please correct me if need be. And while we're on Wicked, all of the principals (with the exception of Elphaba, Glinda, and Morrible) are wigless.

It most certainly was based on Mueller. It sounds 100% better in London as they had it. Natalie Paris has the capability to sing over the Boleyn part and still be heard, Mueller does not.
Here're my (very blunt) thoughts on casting based off of the Chicago company. I don't like Abby Mueller as Seymour. She's too quiet, and thus her voice doesn't sit right with the others—especially during Megasix. I think the Seymour/Boleyn crossover was changed because she simply couldn't be heard distinctly. Mallory Maedke would do well in her place—nice, strong, powerful voice. I've fallen in love with Alexia McIntosh's deep, resounding voice. This is what Cleaves is to me. Brittney Mack is...
Hi, all. First post on here so I apologise if there's already a thread about this. Who're we thinking will be performing this year? If I'm not mistaken, all Best Musical nominees will perform, right? What songs/numbers? I'm curious if Wicked has secured a spot to commemorate the 15th anniversary like they did for the 10th.
