Wicked - Universal Studios Japan

Has anyone under Final Consideration heard anything yet? They said they'd cast the week of the 16th, and we'd find out either way.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything..

On a 90 minute theme park version?

Who cares?

She must be thrilled to know that national television coverage got her a theme park job where no one will know who she is, or care.

Um....it's better material than the Princess Fantasy Faire at Disneyland?

So now you want to compare theme park shows?


They all suck.

First of all, I have to disagree that ALL theme park shows suck. There is a rare diamond in the rough of theme park shows out there.

Secondly, why bag on them? They provide steady work for actors, as well as good training. I've done my fair share of theme park shows, and have shared the stage with several performers who were between Broadway gigs, performers who went on to big gigs (Broadway, tours, tv...), and shared the stage with a few highly respected performers who are now talked about almost daily here on BWW.

While I have out-grown my theme park days, I'm very grateful for them.

I believe John Barrowman performed at Opryland USA way back when.

I can speak from experience...

I worked for Disney many moons ago.

Yes, I worked with both Eden and Kris at Universal Studios.


They will say the same thing, the show SUCKED.

Good singers in sucky theme park shows happen all of the time.
