BEKA -

her final peroformance is when her contract runs up -


I am dropping my last name because I can't stand having my middle name AS a middle name

My initials are ARG. And, when I was younger, my mom plastered them all over my school stuff, and when kids would find them, they'd be like, 'WHY DOES IT SAY 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG?'" In hindsight, its funny... it wasn't at the time though. :P

My theater teacher is pregnant, and her husband wanted to name the kid Wallace if it was a boy. That one got vetoed pretty quickly...

now it says that it's "not likely" she'll be performing tomorrow on the main page.

i feel so bad! this is gonna put a damper on her whole experience with the show. and why NOW? the DAY BEFORE the show that everyone has been anticipating for MONTHS?

it's beyond me why this sh*t happens...


going to bed... hopefully there will be an update in the morning.

good night!

Good night BEKA, and my Super Vowel Twin!

Yeah Spidey, my first was with PMS
and oddly enough, he is the man responsible for teaching me the word F*CK

Here's the newest article:

At the moment, production sources are saying it's "not likely" the star will go on tomorrow in what would have been the Tony-winner's final performance in Wicked. Deemed as a possible risk to already injured ribs, it's expected that if the star is unable to perform, she will at the least make an appearance at what was to be her final performance in the show. The final decision will however be made late morning, after an updated evaluation of Idina's condition.

According to audience, and production source reports, Tony-winner Idina Menzel was injured at the Saturday matinee performance of Wicked during Act 2. During the scene in which the Wicked Witch is "melted" behind the silhouette curtain, a trapdoor problem caused Menzel to fall through the floor stopping the show.

The curtain was brought down, and after a 45-minute delay standby Shoshana Bean (and soon to be star) went on for the finale. At the show's end, cast member Joey McIntyre addressed the audience informing them of what had occurred, and assuring them that Menzel would be alright. Both cast and crew were visibly shaken at the show's conclusion, all expressing concern for Idina's well-being and quick recovery.


According to those outside the theater, the stretcher-bound and still green star was taken away by ambulance to an area hospital where she was treated this afternoon. The role tonight was covered by on Saturday evening by standby Shoshana Bean, who's due to take over the role this week Menzel is next schedule to begin filming on the film version of Rent.


Further updates will be posted as they become available.

Refrain- I would say so. I saw the current cast in the middle of December, and it was decent. I would definately see them again. But, it is Rent, and at the moment I can't get enough of that show, lol... The Roger and Mimi are excellent, and I also really liked the Maureen and Joanne. Angel's really good as well, and Collin's isn't bad. Benny gets on my nerves (well, he is Benny, lol) and Drew Lachey is an icky icky icky Mark. But its Rent, so its really fun. The tour's infinately better, but I still stayed up until 1 o'clock gushing about how exciting the show was after the Broadway production. So, yeah. :P

BEKA- The timing is REALLY creepy. Its like she was doomed... *gets paranoid*

I'm going to bed as well.

Once again, best wishes to Idina! This must be REALLY hard for her. Positive vibes and prayers!

Goodnight, folks!

My brother is BAA

Allie that cracks me up..

Fredi I have so many relatives it is impossible to know them all.. I feel like I have to ask for a family tree before I can date a guy.. you know jsut to be safe..

---

I would say that the current Maureen is one of the best... and I usually don't like blonde Maureen's, lol (too many pictures of brunette Idina as Maureen, I suppose?). The cast lacks chemisty, though... the title song was totally disastrous, COMPLETELY fell flat. But its pretty good... and it is Rent... I enjoyed it, though the cast was pretty mediocre... but again, I did also like Roger, Mimi, Joanne, and Angel. Its the chemistry that's the big problem...

Ok, I'm REALLY going to bed now.
