Patti Lupone has several versions of several of her stories, that she wheels out depending on the occasion.Sometimes her Evita orchestra rehearsal story is told as (paraphrased) that she and Mandy were having such a great time, they were singing so loudly over the orchestra and members of the production team were trying to get them to push less, lest they blow out their voices but she and Mandy were on cloud nine and voiding stop…Sometimes the story is that they should have been warned, nobod...

The footage of the original KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN is fascinating! The try-out was specifically not supposed to be reviewed, and yet the press turned up and pretty much tore it to pieces. That absolutely could have tanked the show’s future but luckily they retooled the whole thing (boy did they ever) I believe one reviewer actually wrote something along the lines of ‘This might work with a star like Chita Rivera’ They also then fired the choreography when Chita came on board, and the new pr...

First we had Feldstein who proved she couldn't vocally handle the role from the second that first rehearsal clip was released. Then we had her "departure" and Michele's casting announcement, both which were pretty poorly handled... and now this...They're on track to close in the black on Broadway (I think, anyways). I anticipate the tour will do fairly well be...

WldKingdomHM said: "What is this feud going on? They should be happy they created this show together. This movie can’t come soon enough. Can’t wait"That’s a totally false rumour. They have been working together just fine

Theatrefan2 said: "Someone on theatreboard has been on set and written a report in the Wicked thread in the films sectionshttps://theatreboard.co.uk/thread/9796/wicked-movie?page=33"The report that Idina and Cheno, had to be scheduled separately is untrue. They were rehearsing together, with nobody but the principal creatives

BwayLB said: "I won’t believe Idina is in it until I see for myself"Both Menzel & Cheno have been rehearsing in the UK.They cameo together, and the plan is that they appear several times. This could obviously all end up on the floor of the edit room but…

Dylan Smith4 said: "Saw the show last night, here are my thoughts.★★☆☆☆You would think that it would be really cool to see an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical in London’s West End. I’m sure that’s true, but certainly not with this musical, Aspects of Love. I haven’t really heard of this musical before and now I can clearly see why. From the moment the curtain goes up, we are transported to a setting of a dull and confusing storyline. I swear, whoever wrote this story should not be writing for musi...

Tag said: "Sometime in the last few years didn't they cut Christine & Phantom going down the stairs into the floor, and added Giry & the ballet girls crossing to cover time so that the doubles weren't needed? ...Just something else they changed to sh*t on Prince's legacy."Well, to be fair it’s Gillian Lynne’s work in this instance but yes.

This is not Hamilton, why are they incorporating breakdancing into Wicked?And doesn't the song take place in Emerald City and not Munchkin Land? The set looks like Munchkin land but the dancers look normal size."To your last point, in the source material -- "Wicked", not "The Wizard of Oz" -- the Munchkinlanders are "shorter than average height" but not dwarf-sized (and many of the pow...
