I hope not for she jsut replaced Sho. Bean so I hope not. She is fantastic. My friend has a live recording on her I-pod. Gosh, she is really talented.

Surely she will be gone by then. We'll probably go through 2 or 3 Elphies by '07.
I cant believe no one has said anything mean....

Posted: 2/19/06 at 12:57amI know that she will most likely be gone. It was a mis-type on my part. I meant to I really wish to see her in 2007 Yes, I also knew she was a stand by because it is on Wicked's official Website. I am hoping though she'll stay.

Posted: 2/19/06 at 1:02amNo one has said anything mean because we're all too busy yelling at each other at the moment.

I'm actually glad it hasn't been more talked about. Yes by now we know shes been standby and Frisco tour leg Elphaba. By now shes just old news. Not like when green bean came onto the scene. OHH rap with me y'all.
Please just slap me.

Posted: 2/19/06 at 2:18amR U serious? I'll have to check that out. Will she be touring in California anytime in 2010, I think I am going to be visiting then. Oh I hope so, I'm sure she'd still sound awesome, maybe her contract in Wicked will be up by then!

Posted: 2/19/06 at 2:33amOh thanks Joe, thats actually very informational in comparison to the rest of the thread. I'm kind of surprised considering she will be the first green one to have a 9 month contract. I guess theres only so much you can take after some touring and this has been a substancial part of her career, its good that she will move on a bit more quick. Maybe we can have Murney then! *ring out organ chimes and angelic choir note* Hallelujah!
#14re: Hase any one heard the new Elphaba?
Posted: 2/19/06 at 2:42amDo you think she'll be around by 2020? Maybe I'll have enough money by then to see the show!

THANK YOU! She totally blew my mind when I saw that show. Too bad it got such crap reviews.

Eden has an incomparable voice and is a wonder in Wicked, I'm glad she gets to spotlight a show that showcases her voice very well.
And Miss Dillmount, you better hope your pennies add up to the fee, we can't let you see her for free!

Posted: 2/19/06 at 3:27amEden is my favorite singer ever.

Posted: 2/19/06 at 4:24pmI enjoyed Megan when I saw her. And I thought Shoshanna was very good. I would love to have seen Ana Gasteyer and Stephanie Block. I heard she was excellent in DC

Wow.
Eden just may be, in my opinion, the most overhyped person in musical theatre today. I think she is a loud, pitchy singer.
Blovk should've been brought in. LOVE her.

Posted: 2/19/06 at 5:15pmI wasn't at all thrilled to hear that Ms. Espinoza was going in to WICKED. I'd sat through that horror show known as BROOKLYN, and detested everything about it, most especially Ms. Espinoza's horrific glass-shattering screech. I was very surprised at how good she turned out to be in WICKED.

Posted: 2/19/06 at 10:07pmI'd have to disagree about Eden being "amazing." She was ghastly in BROOKLYN. Ghastly. Smug and self-righteous, with a voice that would pierce concrete. Horrifying. I would never have believed she had it in her to be so good in WICKED.
