No idea, but I'm pretty excited. I'd like to see who they cast in the Albert Finney and Jessica Lange roles (I assume Butts is playing the Ewan MacGregor role).
Also, I wonder if the Marquis might be the home for this and a placeholder type of show might go in there (a limited run).

It doesn't make much sense for it to come in right after it's Chicago run -- it will miss being eligible for the Tonys -- I would think they'd wait AT LEAST to the fall or even next spring to bring it to NY.
(But of course, what the heck do I know? I'm thrilled to see Butz in anything!)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 12/18/12 at 7:24pmCan't see this working as a musical, but than again I was not a fan of the movie. Hope to be proven wrong.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 12/22/12 at 4:16pmHeard Lippa singing one of the songs at a recent concert. I though it was pretty bad, but maybe it's just because he's not a great singer?
