I really would have rather been at Wicked then Hairspray today. I'm glad JLT was back and feeling better. If she is on the same medication I'm on for my bronchitis, then there is no doubt she was a little crazier then usual. (I'm like freakin high.)


I might be there sometime next week, after Idina leaves. I just gots to see my Jen again!

"Blah Blah Blah" almost made me pee! And "No Good Deed" is my favorite number in the show so I was just in heaven listening to her belt that out. GOD it was incredible.

Matt,

It's my favorite too, aside from the DIVINE job JLT did with Thank Goodness!

Added that I'm still not a George Hearn fan. He's got a great voice, but he just stands there...

Did you notice Joey's voice being VERY off during "As Long As You're Mine"? It just didn't sound right at all.

George Hearn was dreadful....sorry

did they add in extra lyrics/music for him to sing so he didn't have to dance?

I didn't notice. I actually thought he sounded much better than he's ever had before.

I was surprised to see how different Sean is as The Wizard when I saw him. He was so evil and added a whole new dimension to the character. Very impressive.

Joe's been very silly with this rope in the last few shows, anything to make the girls laugh, right?

I like George more and more. I think he is good, and yes they did add a couple extra bits into Wonderful.

What other things did Jen do?

I would love to see Angela Lansbury take over when Shelley leaves. To have her and Hearn on stage together would be incredible.

Jen just did all these different voices...she got a semi-standing ovation from what i could see after popular

i wonder if the cast was so great tonight because joe mantello was there - saw him at the stage door - but he only signed for a few ppl...

Priest,

I'm not trying to be awful, I'm just not in love with this particular portrayal. Added that I'm a big Joel Grey fan, probably saw him do the role 25 times, and still think that it's the quirky dance that makes "Wonderful" work

I think it is a thankless role, really.

And Priest, I think he is, well, wonderful!

I don't think you can ever call George Hearn dreadful. I guess he's just not challenged in this role. Have you seen the man in Sweeney? He's a legend!

i didn't say george hearn is dreadful - he is amazing in i am what i am - i just mean the wizard isn't right for him - he barely sung the high ntoes, he barely danced...i think sean mccourt is the best wizard of three (and yes, i liked joel grey in the role)

Joey sounded different since i last saw him - he acted more now, he whispered and smoke loudly...his voice sounded deeper today, i dunno

Ok there has been a lot of back and forth on who will be Boq till the 11th. But I talked to Robb tonight and he told me he would be doing the show all next week. Which is exciting:)

What is your dream role? My dream role would be to be myself. To be performing at the Hollywood Bowl and to have an audience there just to see me, as Stephanie. They are there because they like what I do as a singer, an artist and a person (the last being the most important). I enjoy escaping and portraying other characters, but to be accepted and wanted as yourself... that's amazing! --Stephanie J. Block Just one of the many reasons I admire and respect Stephanie!!

I'm shocked you guys didn't get busted. They're usually pretty nasty about cameras there.
