#0Amy Spangler as Elphaba? Do you know who im talking about lol?
Posted: 8/22/04 at 10:34pmI was just listening to Kiss Me Kate on serius radio and Amy Spanger was on. I didnt realize how great she'd be as Elphaba till after. She sounds strangely similar to Idina and she's not that popular. I know she can act, she was in Chicago too. I don't know if u know who im talking about but just listen to a clip of True To You in My Fasion from the KMK cast recording. She can really belt it out! Updated On: 8/22/04 at 10:34 PM

No, while I loved Amy in Kiss Me Kate every time I saw her, I found her to be less than excellent as Hope in Urinetown.
I don't think it would be that good, but I'm willing to be proven wrong.

Posted: 8/22/04 at 10:53pmShe did take over the role of Hope Cladwell in Urinetown, a role that JLT originated, so maybe she would make a better G(a)linda?

I haven't actually heard Amy Spanger, so I am making this judgement strictly on the idea that she played a role JLT did. Don't know if that means she is also capable of Glinda.
What about Christiane Noll...Hope on tour.

I think she would make a better Glinda. She can most definitely belt, and could probably sing both if she wanted too, but she's more of the Galinda type. I saw her in Chicago---such an amazing performer.
And for the record, Christiane Noll would make one hell of a Glinda.

Posted: 8/22/04 at 11:35pmAmy Spanger is a Goddess. I used to have a crush on her real bad.

Posted: 8/22/04 at 11:41pmI have no idea what she looks like. I just posted this cuz I thought there were points in the song she sang that really reminded me of Idina and how she sings. I was just curious. What does she look like though?

Posted: 8/23/04 at 7:24amAmy Spanger is amazing. Loved her in KMK, Urinetown, Tick Tick Boom...etc. A-MAH-ZING.
#22re: ITS ABOUT ELPHABA AND WICKED SO IF U HATE IT DONT ANSWER
Posted: 8/23/04 at 8:37amTry Raul Esparza's site for pictures. He has a bunch of good TTB pics and Amy's in a good number of them.

I really despise Amy Spanger---and I hope she never ever steps into the role of Elphaba, Galinda or anyone in the show...She has the most annoying voice and in everything I've seen her in, I've wanted to shoot myself...I really really hope not!
Wasn't it bad enough that she took over as Hope in Urinetown?

I love me some Amy, but not as Elphaba. Maybe, just maybe as Galinda, but I can't really see that either.
She kicked ass in Chicago!
