My wife said that last nite's performance was the best she has seen so far (although she did miss Carly) - Said it was amazing !!! The woman in front of her was a photograher, and the other was a costume designer--- both told her they were doing "work" for the show... (hmm.... little confusing, but anyway...)
Going back tonight... :))
Kate was definitely channeling some demons tonight because she looked more crazy and angry than usual as well as some ticks/shaking.
When was the last time you saw it? Shindle's definitely been playing it what I've been calling 'less evil, more crazy' than she was during say the first/second week of previews... she talked a little bit about it in this playbill.com interview from opening night, and a little more in her video q&a that's posted a page back here (ok yes because I asked the question there :)), about her "mad as a hatter" and mercury research and her little Hatter ticks and twitches and stuff. I find it interesting.
Loving all of the reports about the on fire audience last night!
Talkbacks next week:
Composer Frank Wildhorn will lead the Talkback after the performance on Tuesday, May 10; Karen Mason (The Queen of Hearts) and Kate Shindle (The Mad Hatter) will lead the one after the evening performance on Wednesday, May 11, and Janet Dacal (Alice) and Darren Ritchie (Jack, the White Knight) will lead the one after the performance on Thursday, May 12.
WONDERLAND offers talkbacks May 10-12
So I know a lot of you posting here are fans of the show, and those who are not at least interested. I have an extra $5 ticket to the show tonight. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it's at least fun. Would love to see it with someone on here, and maybe even grab a bite before. So PM me if interested.
Just back from the show--- April was on again-- Really love her voice !!! Obviously much different than seeing Carly as Chloe, but she pulled it off-
Rest of the cast on fire--- just really having fun with their roles. Was in Orch X, and didnt see Mezz, but the Orch was packed.
Audience seemed to really enjoy. Most nights I notice the standing ovation start when Kate comes out-- tonight started basically at end of the show.
How is Janet's "Once More I Can See" with April? That's the one aspect of the April!Chloe I am supercurious about.
It was beautiful--- although April flubbed a SPOKEN line or two leading up to the song-
She really has a beautiful voice--- reminds me a lot of Kimiko Glenn.
Link to the video of Morgan James at Birdland tonight. I'm watching it right now, but I hear she didn't do anything from Wonderland. Quite alright, seeing her Alice on Saturday night!
