Bronxbound Theatrics presents the "OMG!!!IdinaROX!!!WICKED=AWSOME!!" thread

Just kidding about the title but I do have some thoughts after seeing the new cast.

Idina is nice but still getting flat sometimes on her high screaming.

This new person playing Glinda is great and sings much better than Cheno but I don't like the way she copied so much of what Cheno. She even did the Cheno walk with her arms out front and leaning back.

The real munchkin and teacher lady were not there so they had some understudy people in there doing it so whatever thats fine cause I already saw the real people who plays those parts.

I actually liked Joey McIntyre kinda. He sang weird but I just like the way he did it pop sounding rather than musical theatre. I dont know. I just kind of liked the way he did it.

The Wicked Theatre is too big. If youre in the back you cant see **** or its small.

George Hearn? Ive heard of him but why did he get an applause? Do other people know who he is?

George Hearn is a Broadway legend who has quite a few Tonys and a hell of a reputation in theater. Good to know that he's getting entrance applause.

Why don't you read your playbill before asking stupid questions like if we've heard of George Hearn. We have, by the way. We've also heard of Carolee Carmello. And if we hadn't, and were interested, we'd read their Playbill bios. That's what they are there for.

I agree. Understudies rock!! Some of the best performances I've ever seen were from understudies. For example, when I saw the Millie tour, Laura Shoop was on as Miss Dorothy, and she was wonderful, and every bit as good as Darcie Roberts, Pamela Issacs, and Matt Cavenaugh.

Rathnait, mayby you need to to go to bed. I do not throw the playbills away! I leave them at the seat.

I know understudies are people too I just think they always seem to be not as good as the real person except Katy Grenfell(Marissa Jaret Winokurs understudy)

"George Hearn? Ive heard of him but why did he get an applause? Do other people know who he is?"

Here is some of what he has done before "Wicked":

A Doll's Life
Watch on the Rhine
I Remember Mama
Sweeney Todd
An Almost Perfect Person
Hamlet
The Changing Room

A Time for Singing

pab, my list of credits is that long too. I'm talking about normal people. Not theatre people. I would not have expected an applause for him like there was for Joey Grey.

That's right. I dont like understudies when theyre not as good as the real people. You shut up!

Ok.....

At least you liked Joey :)

As for everything else:

I LOVE how people have all of a sudden started to diss Kristin - WTF!
First it was Idina than all of a sudden it's now KC! Am I going crazy? LOL

I'm not saying she's perfect but she has a much stronger voice that JLT. JLT's voice is MUCH more soothing than KC's - but that's what adds depth to the role.

George Hearn is just like Joel Grey - famous without the help of modern shows like Wicked!

It's a good think I like your [Dracula] icon! :)

I like your icon meagan!
