Posted: 2/8/06 at 4:55pmUhm, no I don't think so ze emcee. She's laying low right now but soon she'll be travelling between Atlanta, LA, and NYC for recording sessions. Considering the strains that Wicked (like many other starring roles) put her through, she was in remarkable shape at the end of her year+ run. ALthough she was battling strained vocal chords over her last week, she still sounded stellar, and to those not 'in the know', did not even sound the least bit under the weather or subpar. That is more than can be said for someone else who had the role.

Posted: 2/8/06 at 5:10pmI must agree, Zepka...if anything, the daily vocal workout of Wicked strengthened her voice and made it more colorful and free-flowing than before.

Posted: 2/8/06 at 6:18pmShoshana has an excellent technique. Her voice is in fine shape.

Posted: 2/8/06 at 6:35pmUnlike Idina, her voice stayed strong.

Posted: 2/8/06 at 6:35pmzepka, I completely agree...she sounded better at the end than at the beginning. And her last show, with strained vocal cords...phenomenal! Even sick she sounds better than most singers, at least in my opinion.

Posted: 2/8/06 at 6:59pmI just auditioned for CCM, and one of the faculty said that she left "Wicked" because she was recording an album with some big record company.

Posted: 2/8/06 at 7:05pmActually, unless she's gotten a new deal in the very recent past, she's on an independant (small) label, not with "some big record company".

she is working on a musical called PIECE. There is a synopsis here and they have samples of a few songs.

Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.

Posted: 2/8/06 at 7:23pmShe's not working on that show. She simply recorded some of the demos. She's publicly said that she's taking a break from musical theatre, and that it would take a really great role for her to come back. She's focusing on her recording career.

Just to clear some things up - Her voice is fine now, she was just fatigued and suffered from strained chords. She's planning on working on her album and she's signed to Brian Mcknight's label 'Fortress of Solitude'.

Posted: 3/2/06 at 6:25amDoesn't matter. CCM is getting ready to launch another "wicked" voice this year, and we all know who it'll be!
#16re: Shoshana Bean!
Posted: 3/2/06 at 8:52amNot to run to Idina's defense, but I thought she sounded great in SWIWS.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Jerseygirl I completely agree. Idina sounded great on SWIWS. The best she's ever sounded I think. I personally also enjoyed her work in the RENT movie. But to each his own.
I like the work of both women though. Not their biggest fan but I can certainly appreciate them both.

Posted: 3/2/06 at 12:17pmI like both women vocally. I don't like the faces Shoshana makes, but her voice is outstanding.
