Guess People LIKED "Defying Gravity" !!

AHAHAHAHAHAH! So much for the closing Notices so many people are trying to post!!!!

who suggested that wicked was closing??

whatever, congrats to the cast and crew! thats AMAZING!!

Mama Mia didn't post a closing notice when it walked away empty handed. There's no reason to believe that Wicked will. It's not surprising that people liked Defying Gravity. It's easily the best song in the show. Personally, I'm glad they gave Chenowith so I didn't have to sit through "Popular" again. Although, I know a woman who belts the crap out of Defying Gravity and her voice rivals Menzel's. Her name is Kate and she cocktails at the Duplex on Sunday nights. Tell her Robert sent you. You'll be happy you went.

Wonder how ticket sales will fare when Cheno and Idina leave the show?

I think that obviously it will have ramifications, but I dont believe they will be as big as people might think. First of all, KC's last show is July 18th, and maybe people did not know that in advance, but there are plenty of tix sold already for the rest of the month of July as well as August.

Also, we have seen the show a number of times, and we are always curious to hear comments of people that are seeing the show for the 1st time. Many of them have no idea who the leads are !!

Hanging out at the lottery line, you get the same sense.

I think Idina is scheduled to be with the show until January.

I don't think that the exit of both leading ladys will have ANY effect on sales. Quite frankly, only New Yorkers (or theater fans even KNOW who they are, and neither of these groops have made the show a hit.

Just my opinion, I may be wrong.

I was on a plane coming back from Miami and missed the tonys...so sad. anyone know where i can see a video of the performance since no one taped it for me : ( I am VERY happy for Idina!

SO all this about the screens saying WICKED... wasnt that the last show nominated, and possibly it was left on some of them and not changed immediately. I love this conspiracy theory that wicked really won, and it was a mix up. I also love how someone told the press it was their fault for asking people who they think would win and not who they voted for. IF they asked people who they voted for maybe it wouldnt have been a suprise. In the weeks before tonys everyone was hoping for ave q to be honored and now that it was... Look yes I feel bad for wicked but I feel good for Avenue Q, and vice versa if the result was opposite. WIcked has been selling great and will continue too, its a family show with great buzz. Avenue Q was sellign well enough to make back its investment and now has seen a bump. I know when wicked finally does close even if it is 2 -3 years from now, it will be brought up on these boards how "it would still be running if it won the tony". Food for thought...please dont attacj my thoughts. hehe

Defying was okay...... I was busy looking at the mic on Cheno's forehead... LOL

I LOVED Cheno in the bubble.. once again, not because it was Cheno however..

the clasp on Idina's cape was very loud. I noticed when I rewatched.

maybe the same reason Harvey wore a different dress and Mary Bond Davis wore a different wig for You Can't Stop The Beat last year and Idina had her HAIR in a fall and not a wig in a braid and why Louise Pitre didn't wear her hair styled like she does in the show when Mamma Mia performed a few years ago... it was easier perhaps.. or they thought it photographed better.. you never know. It DOES NOT MATTER. The sky WILL NOT fall because of it.

oh lawd
