Whoa, you people are crazy lol. Now, I am a 19 year old boy living in NY. I absolutely love Wicked. I have seen many if not all of the current shows, and I have to say it is my favorite. However, people are allowed to disagree with me. That's the beauty of theatre, no? One show can be incredible to one person while another is incredible to someone else. Despite this, we should all respect each other. Let's not just throw words around for the sake of it. You don't have to love Wicked, or any show, but I think they should all be respected. People put a lot of time and work into shows. For one, it is very difficult being 19 these days and loving shows like Guys and Dolls, South Pacific, The Music Man and Carousel (all of which I absolutely adore). However, I love shows like Rent and Wicked too. It just seems so many young people nowadays are neglecting the older shows, while many others aren't seeing the good in the newer ones. There is a line separating modern musicals from the classics. However, one is not "better" than the other. Let's all just respect each other and take each others opinions for what they are worth
P.S. - I highly doubt Idina or Kristin will return to the show anytime soon. Idina is focussing on her songwriting career while Kristin is working on her TV career. Both are amazing performers and they should move on. I don't think they will ever forget the show (after all, it made them stars). I think the only time they will return to the show is when it closes (whenever that day will be...10 years?) or when the movie is made. Idina actually shouldn't return to it for awhile. Anytime she is with the show she starts out wonderfully, but eventually becomes tired. I would hate for her to go through with that again. It's a lot for one performer. She has done the show for more than 600 performances. Take a break love
