Posted: 10/6/08 at 7:07pmDo you think Annaleigh would be sent back to Wicked on broadway again?

I would NOT be surprised if she did. I hope she does come back, she was brilliant in the role.
I could also see her being Becky's replacement on the LB tour, or Inga on the upcoming Young Frankenstien tour.

Posted: 10/6/08 at 7:28pmI loved Annaleigh as Glinda. She's confirmed to be closing Chicago, but after that I wouldn't be surprised.

Posted: 10/6/08 at 7:28pmI really hope she replaces Kendra again. I have nothing against Kendra, I just love Annaleigh

Posted: 10/6/08 at 7:44pmI hope she can stick with the Adams Family thing - that'd be nice for her to get a new thing on her resume

Posted: 10/6/08 at 7:48pmThe addams family would be a great career move but is that going to pick up?

Posted: 10/6/08 at 8:36pmI don't know, I kind of like my Glinda's to be funny; something Annaleigh wasn't the two times I saw her.
#9re: Annaleigh Ashford?
Posted: 10/6/08 at 8:39pmI've seen 4 Galindas, and Annaleigh's made me laugh the hardest. Maybe she was just on, but she was downright hilarious.

Posted: 10/6/08 at 8:54pmThere's a difference between honesty and being a bitch.
#12re: Annaleigh Ashford?
Posted: 10/6/08 at 8:57pmI adore Annaleigh, and probably would run to the Gershwin if Annaleigh ever came back to Wicked just to see her perform as Glinda live again. However, I hope she does something new after she's done in Chicago. I would love to see her in The Addams Family as well, or even Catch Me If You Can (if she's even still attached in that?). Over the summer, Annaleigh said that she doesn't know what she's doing after. I can't wait to see her back on Broadway.
#13re: Annaleigh Ashford?
Posted: 10/6/08 at 9:04pmI really hope not. I've seen 7 Glindas and Annaleigh was definitely the worst.
#14re: Annaleigh Ashford?
Posted: 10/6/08 at 9:07pmshh282, were you at the same performance I was? The girl lacked comic timing. No one was laughing. I'm sorry that my disagreeing makes me a bitch.

Kalimba, so harsh!
(I totally agree though)

Okay- let's get to the bottom of this.
I saw Annaleigh once, on the evening of April 5, 2008 performing opposite SJB and had the audience in stitches, and me as well!
My other Galindas:
Alli Mauzey
Erin Mackey
Kendra Kassebaum
Please do what I did. Maybe there is a reason why our opinions differ.

Posted: 10/6/08 at 9:30pmI saw Annaleigh 12 times(In NY and Chicago) and everytime she has made me laugh ALOT. Only Katie Rose Clarke has made me laugh harder. I have seen 6 different Glinda's also.

#20re: Annaleigh Ashford?
Posted: 10/6/08 at 9:46pmHow was Alli Mauzey (one of the true bright lights in Cry Baby)?
#21re: Annaleigh Ashford?
Posted: 10/6/08 at 9:46pmI don't think she is still attached to the Addams family because they posted an open call for wednesday addams on Playbill.

Posted: 10/6/08 at 9:48pm^^ Are you asking me that? I never saw her. I only started seeing the show in Jan of this year. If that question is not for me then nevermind....LOL.

Of all the Glindas I've seen (Chenoweth, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Megan Hilty, Kate Loprest, Kate Reinders, Kendra, and Stacey Morgan Lewis), the only one worse than Annaleigh Ashford was Kate Reinders. Of course, no on has come close to touching Chenoweth in the role, but that's besides the point.
My main problem with Ashford was that her Glinda lacked any depth. There was little transformation in the character between acts 1 and 2. To be honest, however, most Glindas have this problem, however.
