I Haven't posted in a while...years actually, but I definitely have to chime in on this one. Saw the show tonight and Audra is giving an extraordinary performance here!!! It really is a thrill to see Audra saunter out onto stage and go into the first number. You're brain is trying to rap around the fact that it's Audra singing on stage and not Billie, but after a while you give in and start to really see Billie. I teared up a few times throughout the show, especially during "Strange Fruit", a...

Yeah I'm sure they need every Billy they have, with injuries being so common. I'm glad that they don't discriminate against minorities and really look for the talent, and man are those boys talented.

I think she looks great. (would have prefered a red wig, but whatever). Now I want to hear some thoughts on her performance.

Giants in the sky! Loved singing that song! Also, Last Midnight.

Actually, I do remember seeing a casting call specifically for the role of Consuela on Playbill.com earlier this month. I Wonder why they let her go an switched everything up. West has been kind of strange when comes to casting changes.

Am I right in thinking that they have lost two shark girls Yanira and the "Blonde" one(can't think of her name)? It looks as though they've only replaced the "Blonde" while leaving Yanira's role completely empty. I see they have a new swing. Did they just end up cutting Yanira's role and replacing her with the new swing? I'm a bit confused if you haven't caught on haha. I really can't imagine Jenn as Anita, but I would love to see her interpretation.

Jennifer Sanchez?! I assume a lot of people were out. That must have been a crazy performance.

Love Mel and Brandon. I hope they are the final two, after that, I'll be fine with either one winning. The number was pretty kick butt as well.

Saw show for the first time at yesterday's matinee(rush tickets, front row, wow!)and the show/Alice Ripley was ****ing amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's very apparent how much she throws herself into the role; when Diana cried Alice cried, there was nothing fake or disingenuous about her performance. Waiting there from 6:30 in the moring was completely worth it just to witness her performance. The show it's self is so fresh and so different(specifically the music).The cast as ...

Oh, haha. I guess one wouldn't think that a "Chino" would be played by a Michael haha. Excuse me, I'm a little slow when it comes to some things....

What's odd about it?

don't ginx the thread haha

Glad to hear she did well...in the second act. I really hope Karen gets better soon.

I really want to hear about Kat's performance. I see a fiesty petite Anita in her. Anyone go? Is she on tonight as well?

Wow! Why is everyone being so visicous haha....It's just prince Eric.

Not if their criticizing her performance. The race thing is (or at least should be) a non issue. If the performance is as great as I'm hearing it is, there shouldn't be much to criticize. If reviews do pop up, can we please post them here.

Wow! I remeber seeing those pictures. I didn't put two and two together, but that sure is Audra's Zoe. Well if she's no longer with her husband, I'm glad she's moved on with someone as great as Will.

Something about this sounds really sketchy to me... Isn't it against equity rules to do community theatre? I don't know about this....

Link to her audition tape: http://www.theinsider.com/news/2194188_Samantha_Harris_Blogs_on_Dancing_Finale around 3:05 there is a clip from her audition tape. She doesn't look or sound half bad. She does sort of give off the whole "I really really really want to be famous!!" vibe. I think she might just be able to pull it off.

Definitely Saycon. I do think she on quite often for the four women she was standby for(there are a few video of her out there...). Four! why did she not get the role!! I'm a big Saycon fan haha. Please ask her back producers, this time as the main Elphaba!
