Wait....has anyone wondered why Eden is leaving early? Does anyone know why she isn't finishing those 13 weeks of the contract? Because I believe she should be done in Jan.

Her contract was always until October 8th.

I've always heard October 8th would be her last day.

Maybe some of that green is gonna come off! -Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch! -I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that. -Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say. -Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular! -Bed made, room straightened. We've done that. -Colors blended. Oookay. -But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile." ~Kristin Chenoweth in her last performance of the song "Popular"

Ana is divine!!!! I hope to see her!!! Maybe she could do "Defying Gravity" as Celine Dion, the greatest singer "in all de world!!!""

Eden is rumored to be opening the LA production, along with Megan Hilty, David Garrison, Carol Kane, and Kristoffer Kusick.

How could you not be addicted to Ana-she is amazing as a performer, a comedian, and a human being!!!

Wow, really? If that is true then good for them! Although I do hope that Megan comes back to NY soon . . . she was absolutely amazing and I would love to see her in something else.

Ana is only in for 13 weeks?? Hmmmm...how am I going to get to NYC before she's out??

Man. I would love to see her. I loved Eden, but I was hoping for Ana to replace Shoshana. It's hard for me to get to a show on a weekday and that's about all that is left. I think some friends and I will try to hit the lotto. Maybe I will get lucky.

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

I "couldn't be happier" the Ana is stepping into the Broadway production. I saw her in the Chicago prodcution and she was brilliant! I only wish I could get to NYC to see her again.

Trust me, Ana is an amazing Elphaba. I'd get my tickets now before they're all sold out.

omg omg omg. Excuse me while I flail my arms and go all fangirl for a minute.

*shrieks*

I was HOPING it would be Ana, but this news about her short run is the best thing possible because I'm over in Jan and seeing it both before and after the 7th. Two entirely different pairs of leads! It's like the casting directors know my love of multiple casts!

(And yeah, we were just watching Reefer Madness last night and getting all squealy imagining seeing Ana...only thing is, that was with the friend with whom I am seeing Wicked AFTER the 7th! Oh noes)

I hope they stop recycling after January 7th. I'm ready for new blood. I guess no news on new leads?

I'm wondering if the producers will try to cast a name for Morrible and/or the Wizard. I'm really hoping for a powerhouse Morrible. No one's competed w/ Carole yet.

I'll add on to the "HOORAY FOR HER, I'M SO EXCITED" train

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

I was totally hoping that they would get a new person cast in the role of anyone in Wicked. I was deciding whether or not to go see it over thanksgiving but I defidently am now.

Yay! I'm so happy for Ana! She was my first Elphaba, and by far the best overall performance I've seen (I've since seen Kristy Cates, Eden, and Maria Eberline). Her comedic timing is priceless. She has a gorgeous, witchy voice. Her characterization is the best, too: her Elphaba is based on the book Elphaba-- very bitter and sarcastic. None of that happy-bubbly-I-really-want-to-be-popular characterization! I only wish I would have the opportunity to see her again. Come back to Chicago, Ana!!!

Ana and Kate were WONDERFUL in Chicago - I was lucky enough to be able to attend their last show. I can't even imagine how great they're going to be now, on BROADWAY, having gotten more experience under their belts.

I am DEFINITELY addicted to Ana.

I guess I'm the lone dissenting opinion on this thread, but I didn't really care for Ana.

I've been a fan of hers for quite a few years and I was very excited to see her in the role in Chicago. I was severely let down, though. I will admit that her chemistry with Kate was pretty good. Other wise her acting and vocals were just not there.
