That's weird they flat out cancelled the Friday show that week. It makes sense since when Jackie Burns has planned performances they've only been for Tues-Thurs.

Haven't seen Nathaniel Hackmann yet, but I've heard amazing things about him. I've seen Aaron Walpole twice and he's sensational. Great voice.

Ramin Karimloo is out Wednesday matinees in November. He will also be out 11/11 and 11/12. The week of Thanksgiving, he will perform the Wednesday matinee, but not the Friday matinee (11/2. Andy Mientus is out from 10/24-11/16. Chris McCarrell will play Marius from 10/24-11/3. Matt Rosell will play Marius from 11/4-11/16. Keala Settle is out until 10/19. Christianne Tisdale is performing as Mme. Thenardier

As previously posted, Will Swenson takes his leave of absence on July 22nd and Ramin's obviously out on Thursday nights since he always is for vocal rest. In addition to that.... Caissie Levy (Fantine) will be out July 8-12 Samantha Hill (Cosette) will be out July 14-21 Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras) will be out July 14-21 No one else has announced vacation and if it means anything, Andy Mientus has no planned dates to miss in the month of July. Most of the cast will come out after a Saturday mati...

You'll most likely see her fly. While the Broadway production does have a lot of no-flys it isn't a thing that happens every week. It just happens when it happens. Sometimes things fail technically which also includes the automation. It's announced to the cast and ushers prior to the performance if there's going to be a no-fly or not. There are sometimes, however when the actress playing Elphaba doesn't know there's going to be a no-fly until the part in the show is happening. If the first ro...

I saw Jackie as Elphaba for the matinee this past Saturday (1/26/13) and talked to her for a while after. She said she has been out a lot due to the fact that she has viral laryngitis. Jackie was out from 1/15/13 - 1/23/13. Donna Vivino did the shows from 1/15/13 - matinee on 1/20/13. Vicki Noon only did the evening show on 1/20/13 and 1/22/13. Jackie came back on 1/23/13 - 1/26/13 (matinee only). Donna did the evening show on Saturday, the shows on Sunday and went on last night. No word who ...

^I checked a couple hours ago and it was only for select cities. Surprisingly, Philadelphia was not on it. The closet city to Philadelphia on the list was Pittsburgh.

Does anyone know how long the collection season is? Will they still be doing it around mid November?

^Maybe he is temporarily replacing Tommy Bracco as Spot Conolon since he is out for 6 weeks with a foot injury. Ron Raines joins the company tomorrow until 12/16/12

Just a heads up, Laurel Harris is going on as Eva Peron at the end of the month. Not sure what date exactly, but I saw it on facebook.

Disney uses PLAYBILL for Lion King, Newsies, and they did for Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast.. so why is it only for Poppins?

Last week was the first week after the touring season ended. Grosses will probably rise a bit more within this coming week. I think WICKED is probably close to being sold out on Sunday (9/23/12) cause of the flea market and a lot of people bought tickets thinking it would be Jackie and Chandra's last show.

Hairspray!

Wicked Korea is ending soon anyways and Jennifer said about 2 weeks ago she only had a few weeks remaining.... so it's possible that she might be coming in to temporarily replace Donna. I think Chandra is supposed to finish in the show this coming Sunday (9/23/12). If not, then it's very soon

FindeMe12: That's not what I heard.... where did you hear that? The s/b temporary replacement is probably gonna be Torns or Jenny DiNoia if I had to guess.

steven22: there is no word on that yet.

Quiche2: Donna is returning once she is done with the show in Philadelphia. I think it is like a 6-8 week leave. Nothing too long.

RENT_is_Wicked2: Chandra actually greatly improved from her tour performance. I went into the show with KRC being my favorite Glinda, but Chandra runs a close second.

Donna isn't taking over. She's actually taking a small leave to come do a show in Philadelphia this October. Jackie is actually out this weekend and Donna is doing the Saturday/Sunday shows (9/15-9/16).

Jackie had NOTHING to do with the downfall in profit last week. The summer season is coming to a close. Many people who go to see the show have no prior knowledge of who the Elphaba/Glinda pair will be.
