I'm assistant directing this play at my high school – it is SO much fun!

I disagree about the ending. It is still very sad for me, even though to some it may seem like a "typical sappy Broadway happy ending." It is not as [i]depressing[/i] as they could have made it, but it is very bittersweet.

I just saw Lisa Brescia in Wicked this past Sunday (6/24/2007), and I thought she was quite good.

Wicked is my favorite thing in the whole world (not just musicals ). But, as other people have stated, it is always a matter of opinion.

First musical: Wicked (tour, 2005). That's what got me into theatre. First play: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (tour, 2007) First show on Broadway: Phantom of the Opera (as of June 16, 2007!)

I love Eden - she is such an amazing performer, with an incredible voice. I have seen her twice in Wicked, and the one time I went to the stage door, she was so sweet.

After I see Wicked I am in shock for at least a week after - partly because I can't believe I have actually seen it, and partly because it is so incredible. I love Wicked.

I saw JCS with Ted Neeley when it was in San Francisco. I agree with some of the comments on here (especially King Herod's orange Crocs. What is up with that?). I think Ted is too old to be playing Jesus, but it seems like he really loves it, so why shouldn't he? I personally thought the slow motion opening was cool - it pulled me into the show. Wonderwaiter, you're right: at the stage door he was so unbelievably kind and courteous. He made sure he knew how to spell our names, he talked to us...

There are many parts of Rent the movie that I enjoy more than the live show. I really liked the live show, but there wasn't enough character development for me. In the movie, all the characters get character development. Also, I am slightly biased towards the movie because I can watch Idina Menzel perform whenever I want to.

I'm so glad you liked it. I'm seeing it in June, and I could not be more excited!

Here's my list. I'm working on it: http://www.castalbums.org/users/421/collection/

Wicked, definitely. I cannot get enough of it. I wouldn't want to see it EVERY night, though – I would still want it to be a special occasion.

Wicked was the first Broadway show I ever saw, and now I love many different shows. But, Wicked will always be my favorite because it touched me like nothing else in my life ever has.

I always get the program, but I only get other things like shirts if I really like the show. Btw, what are window cards?

For me, it's the Act One finale of Wicked. The two times I saw it, I was shaking, crying, and practically hyperventilating (all in a good way, of course.). A man in front of me was concerned that there was something seriously wrong . It was my first Broadway show ever, and I had had no idea it would move me so much.

Rent is awesome, as is Phantom of the Opera. I also really, really like Legally Blonde.

Those are so cool! My birthday is 3/2 also.

September 7, 2005: Wicked on tour in San Francisco. My first show ON Broadway will be the Phantom of the Opera when I go to New York this June!

All of the people in Wicked (especially the women who play/played Elphaba). They are all so talented, and Wicked was my first Broadway show, and it is still my favorite. Now I love a lot of other musicals, so I am really grateful to those actors and actresses for showing me what was so wonderful about theatre.

Definitely Elphaba in Wicked. She inspires me so much. I have always had "obsessions" - my current being Wicked/Broadway in general, and a lot of people don't get it. I could go into a whole essay about why I identify with Elphie, but I think you get the picture.
