Posted: 3/17/08 at 3:18pmWell, I'll tell you why the mexican production sounds like a joke. First someone said Thalia might play Elphaba for a short run. WHAT?! THalia? really? She doesn't even have a voice. Yeah she's famous and all because of her telenovelas and because she's hot but she is a very bad actress and a mediocre pop singer. Second Yuridia Gaxiola as Elphba? She came out of a reality show called La Academia (Like american Idol). She does have a nice voice but she's not an actress. It's like the producers have no respect for musical theater and they just want to throw in pop figures to attract the audience. The only actress with a huge musical theater background is Lolita Cortez. Now she should be playing Glinda, but i think her register is more of an alto and not a soprano. Her voice is good for Elphaba but she is very very short, like Kristin Chenoweth. OCESA has a lot of great musical theater actors and actresses, they've mounted Chicago, Beauty and the Beast, Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. They are not popularly famous but they are good. I really hope there is a mexican production of Wicked but not with this kind of cast. By the way, i live in Mexico, that's why i know this stuff.

Massofmen,
Its already playing in Stutgard. If you go to the german store in Itunes you can download the German cast album.
Prince Fiyero2,
If you recall, Kendra Kessbaum had said that she was an alto and not a soprano and thus thought that she would be more sutiable for a role like Ephaba over Glinda. But, alas, she played Glinda and had no trouble at all with the soprano parts one bit.

Posted: 3/17/08 at 8:19pmwell, then i don't see why Lolita Cortez shouldn't play Galinda in the mexican production. Having her play Morrible would be a waste of her voice. She is a great singer.
