#0JOEL GREY'S RETURN TO WICKED
Posted: 8/29/04 at 12:00amI dont know if this has been mentioned before. I tried searching and I came across nothing. Does anyone know when Joel is expected to return to Wicked or what he has? I feel bad for him. He's a great entertainer (even though I love George). I was just curious if anyone has heard any news...is he even coming back to Wicked? Thanks for any info :) Updated On: 8/29/04 at 12:00 AM

I still dont understand the replacing Grey with Hearn.
They are both terriffic, but such different kinds of performers with completely different voice types.

Whats more annoying than the Wicked posts, are posts screaming about how many Wicked posts there are. But this question also could have been answered Google.

Posted: 8/29/04 at 12:08amI thought he left Wicked for good. But I did read somewhere it was an extended leave of absence. I'm sure he left for good, though.

Posted: 8/29/04 at 12:19amDerek if you go to Wicked's offical site, they have bios for the cast. George Hearns is up for the Wizard. Everytime a cast member has been out (Idina for filming etc, Norbert from back trouble). They usually say if the person is coming back. George's doesnt. ALso the pictures of the New Cast has only George Hearn and not Joel Grey. If he was coming back they wouldn't have taken him out completely.

Yeah this post was made before the new Wicked post was made. If u want u can continue it there (only if u have more info). Just direct it to me or ill go right past it lol. Thanks :)
It's obvious people get touchy on this site so we can take this there. The idea of starting a Wicked post was a good idea

Posted: 8/29/04 at 1:02amMe?? Oh sorry, I didnt mean for my last post to sound mean. I just know people can be a little touchy about Wicked. Im just happy that theres a post where everyone can discuss it in piece without worrying who is going to yell at u :)

Posted: 8/29/04 at 1:25amJC - calm down all you Wicked haters - you'll live longer. You actually come off more ridiculous than the wicked-heads when you get all riled up! Grey originally extended his contract through to January, but then he became ill. The last I heard is that his leave was in fact indefinite.
