If I remember it correctly, last year was some made up absurd new musical by Duncan Sheik & Steven Sater. So what's gonna be this year? I put my money on Patti LuPone.

PG2, my interview with Rula Lenska is for real. It's not an April Fool's prank!

The April Fool's joke may be a story about Idina Menzel having actual talent and good belting technique or a feature about Kristin Chenoweth's ability to play more than more one character.

"Don't listen to anything PiraguaGuy2 & Dolly say tomorrow!"

And how is that different than any other day? re: BWW April Fools' Day

broadwayguy2, I know you just crawled out from under a rock to start posting again, but Wicked jokes got old about 4 years ago.

No, now.. a Wicked closing announcement could never be taken as believable... sadly.

Wicked Closing has been done A LOT, on random days when people are bored.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&. "Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."

I think every news article will link to "Never Gonna Give You Up" when clicked on.

We've already had the Wicked closing notice post here in London but have you seen who's going to be the next Elpheba here?

Did you hear that Taye and Indina's baby is going to be in Wicked at 6 weeks old as little Elphaba.
