It has been confirmed today (26 April) that ADAM GARCIA will star as ‘Fiyero’ in the forthcoming London production of WICKED at the Apollo Victoria Theatre.
ADAM GARCIA created the role of ‘Tony Manero’ in the stage premiere of Saturday Night Fever at the London Palladium in 1998 for which he received an Olivier Award nomination as ‘Best Actor in a Musical’. Most recently he starred as ‘Chip’ in On The Town for English National Opera at the London Coliseum. Adam helped develop the role of ‘Fiyero’ in the 2002 workshop of WICKED in New York.
On television Adam has most recently been seen in Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion, watched by over 9 million people on Christmas Day 2005; Agatha Christie’s Marple: The Body in the Library, and as Vaslav Nijinsky in Kevin Elyot’s Riot at the Rite.
His most recent film, Standing Still, in which Adam stars opposite
James Van Der Beek and Amy Adams, has just been released in the U.S.
ADAM GARCIA joins previously announced IDINA MENZEL who will recreate her Tony® Award-winning Broadway performance as ‘Elphaba’ for a limited season. In an article announcing her casting on Friday 21 April, the Daily Mail described Idina as “a powerhouse performer the like of which has not been seen on a London stage in a long time.”

YAY! This is getting exciting now...I'm more excited about seeing this than Take That and McFly put together.
Our cast is looking very good. I just hope they cast a good Glinda now.

So now it's time to write in the stage notes for 'As Long As You're Mine", 
"Y'all have a GRAND day now"

Posted: 4/26/06 at 10:14amHoly Hotness. Well, I hope someday I will be able to see their As Long As Your Mine. Wow, I am surprised at the amount of rumors actually coming true for this London/Wicked thing.
"Dont look at me that way
Your ears and your eyes
Got used to the lies
But you're getting the truth today"
"Ah the city. So many lights you can actually pretend one of them is shining on you."
CLIFF: "There was a cabaret and there was a master of ceremonies and there was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany - and it was the end of the world and I was dancing with Sally Bowles - and we were both fast asleep"

Oh my god, such a cutie! Really great great news and for me.. it's like a dream come true 
All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That's what makes theatre live. That's why it persists.

I swear every single time I see him strip in Coyote Ugly I'm in desperate need for a cold shower. EVERY TIME.
That smile, that body, that accent.....
where's the ice?
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

He better be staying for a while and boy am I glad I booked those front stalls tickets!!!
Brings back fond memories of Saturday Night Fever and On the Town.

Posted: 4/26/06 at 1:46pmOh dear God! I was literally OBBSESSED with Adam freshman year of college. I got Coyote Ugly on DVD, Saturday Night Fever Cast Album, and made a big collage from pictures I printed off the internet! This is so amazing since (this may have already been mentioned) he was involved in a workshop or two of Wicked back at the very beginning! The first place I ever heard of Wicked was on his website back in like 2001. AAAHHHH!! How much are plane tickets to London?!

Posted: 4/26/06 at 2:09pmJust so I'm understanding, there's a movie called COYOTE UGLY, that's available on DVD, in which the young man pictured above strips?
