Ok, we have two contradicting stories here! Walter or Robb? Can we make a decision please?
Would love to read a review, Matt.
I'm surprised BG2 hasn't cursed you for enjoying Idina. He's a bit touchy when it comes to that at the moment.

Idina was beyond amazing tonight....she tore the sh*t out of Defying Gravity and held the "a" in "again" for a long time - i thought i just missed the "gain" part...
haha, yea she did get ghetto on the "we can't all come and go by bubble" line -
JLT had idina is stitched during popular - idina comptelet broke as JLT spun in circles...
i believe idina came out (i had to leave right before she did, but her car was there)

Posted: 1/2/05 at 10:01pmI was there today and I thought the show was amazing. Better then my first time. However, at the beginning during the Wizard and I Idina was gasping a lot and did some clearing and coughing just before the finale of Defying Gravity. HOwever, I still wonder if this is partly in character. Her voice was amazing, hit all of the note. JLT was on fire too. Chris(Boq) was on fire as well. Great performance.

yeah, i was worried when she was coughing - which she doesn't usually do...
JLT was spinning around (twirling) for no reason - i think she was doing the flip flip with her hair. then she spun right into her closet of shoes....
she also did all different voices and was hilarious during the frock-->ballgown sequence in popular.
i have to say it now, JLT is better that KC

JLT is DIFFERENT than Cheno. I do love her, though. She adds a certain vulnerability to the character that was lacking originally. And the hair flipping during "Popular" really had me laughing, too.
And did you notice it wasn't just Idina who had a cough, Carole Shelley had to hack one up too.
#45re: Anyone seeing Wicked tonight- please help me
Posted: 1/2/05 at 10:08pmOne of the best 'Defying Gravity' performances I've seen (and I've seen PLENTY...)

i was floored when carole sneezed in the middle of her line...then went on a coughing fit...

I'll add to that it was by far the best "No Good Deed" I've heard Idina do. It was apparent very early in the song that she was going to hit it out of the park, when she took the "ice cold e--ye" note down a third, and just kept climbing from there. As someone else said, the "again" at the end of the song was HUGE, with a very, very prolonged first syllable that drew enormous crowd reaction.
Pleasantly surprised that Joey McIntyre has gotten a LOT better since I saw him last. An absolutely delightful "As Long..." and an enchanting "Dancing Through Life".
Loved Idina's "blah blah blah" in the Dorothy scene, as well as the multiple tears in "For Good"
Jennifer Laura's "Popular" is over. the. top. these days. She's so deliberate in her choices and delivery. Quite the talent.
