I just saw the evening performance on November 23. The show was close to full. The concept of the show is very different but both my boyfriend and I really liked it. LaChuisa is so amazingly talented and his lyrics are beautiful. The entire cast was outstanding, including Idina. She was able to belt a little bit. After the show, everyone came out except for Idina. She must have slipped out another door because the staff person at the Public announced the dressing rooms were empty and that they would be closing the lobby. I spoke to Marc Kudisch for a minute -- he was extremely nice and hung out for awhile in the lobby. Aaron Lohr, Henry Stram and Mary Testa also hung out in the lobby until they started closing it down.
I only saw a few teen girls hanging out waiting for Idina -- one was extremely annoying wearing a Wicked shirt and saying repeatedly that Idina was her "inspiration."
