Posted: 8/31/06 at 4:02pmWait....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.

Posted: 8/31/06 at 4:40pmHow 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.

Posted: 8/31/06 at 4:48pmAna is only in for 13 weeks?? Hmmmm...how am I going to get to NYC before she's out??
#36re: Ana Gasteyer Joins Broadway's Wicked for 13 Weeks, Starts Oct 10
Posted: 8/31/06 at 4:59pmMan. 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!

Posted: 8/31/06 at 5:37pmI "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.

Posted: 8/31/06 at 5:59pmTrust 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.

"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

Posted: 8/31/06 at 8:28pmI 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.

Posted: 8/31/06 at 8:38pmYay! 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.
