Does anybody know where Derrick is working? Or what he has coming up next?

This is just a simple question, please refrain from...well, you know what!!!

Thank you.

He's playing Fiyero in the Chicago production of Wicked.

I saw him in Toronto when the Wicked tour started and my friend and I didn't think he was good at all.

I agree. I've seen him several times in Chicago's Wicked production and I think he's great.

Really? He was completely phoning in when I saw him three months ago. It's a shame because he is talented.

I hate him as Fiyero. He's the reason I haven't been able to go back and see it. If you like someone who consistently sings five notes on one syllable you'll love him!

He's going into the Los Angeles company of "Wicked" when his contract expires in Chicago.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Anyone know when that will be? I'll plan my next trip to Wicked accordingly.

I think my only problem with him was vocally he sounded, unpleasing to the ear.

I think the only one who even has done it justice besides Norbert is Adam Lambert

Once upon a time I used to play with toys, but now I'd rather play around with teenage boys

That's a pretty big problem in a musical.

Hey thanks guys for the info.

And additional thanks for the refrain...NOT...some of you are not very akind to direction.

Thanks again for Derrick's whereabouts.

BTW, I think he is a more than admirable Fiyero...(AHHHHH...you guys pulled me into the fray...horrible, just horrible)

Derrick is a great Fiyero and he has a wonderfully rich voice.

Kringas, he did that twice when I saw him and he was riffing, but maybe he has changed his performance since you saw him.

I saw him in '05 twice and liked him. And i've heard he's gotten better.

I loved him because he was sweet at the stage door too :)

and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

His melisma makes me seasick.

Joe, I would def. agree with that.


DAYUM. One of the first times I wanted a Fiyero...ANNND whether you like his singing/acting or not, I remember his As Long as Your Mine being the hottest thing EVER (with Steph Block AND Jenna Leigh Green)....I almost had to excuse myself

and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...
