Idina Menzel To Wicked for the 5th Anniversary? — Page 3

AllShowsRocks-
You didn't see Grey Gardens or Follies, therefore you don't count. And YankeeFan is right, go see some plays.

Look, can we all agree that Wicked is a crappy show? Schwartz and Holtzman had that wonderful novel to work with and they turned it into tripe. Fangirls/boys- Just read the book and tell me if you think it deserved such a lousy musicalization.
And as for the 5th anniversary "concert." It will never happen. There will probably be a cake and a speech onstage, but the day Menzel and Chenoweth return to that show is the day hell freezes over in NYC (Although, that did happen last year when LuPone and Laurents worked together again). Chances are pretty much nil, sorry.

I honestly thought the musical was an improvement of the book.

I don't think the show is an improvement over the book. A lot was cut out and I didn't care for the ending. But the show is fine.

Wait! Idina is really coming back to Wicked? Wow.

Because musicalmaster703 is the master of posting all things false about musicals.

Name 2 times i have got somthing wrong?

Something that Allmusicalsrock said: "A: Make more money then anyother show in HISTORY of Broadway " about Wicked.

That's false? I do believe "The Phantom of the Opera" has made well over 3.5 BILLION worldwide, and I'm just guessing but I bet the majority of that money is from the Broadway and London productions.


And Idina better nto come back! She should be ina CHESS revival at that time!!!

"ok, now in all seriousness she probably will come back like Adam and Anthony (in rent) Because her contract says she needs to do Wicked 1 more time before she can do any other plays."

Where on EARTH does it say that? Ms. Menzel is a smart gal. I don't think she'd ever sign such a ridiculous contract. And she's done other shows, by the way. And despite the fact that I find its author pretentious, it was a hell of a lot better than Wicked.

1. "ok, now in all seriousness she probably will come back like Adam and Anthony (in rent) Because her contract says she needs to do Wicked 1 more time before she can do any other plays."

2. oh sorry, i reread where it said that. and she can't be in RENT again because she signed a contract to be in wicked 1 more time before she could be in rent. Sorry.

I heard a rumer. True?

Enough?

hahahhaha this whole thread is so entertaining....

Well this is pretty entertaining. Speaking of how Allshowsrock should see more plays, I myself really want to see more plays. Recommendations please? (I thought adding this on would be better than starting anew thread)

EDIT: O and Blaxx, while your comments are normally quite entertaining, I think the "Eyedine" thing is getting old, don't you? It doesn't make you seem much better than the fangirls who go around saying "zomg idina was amazingggg in RENT and WICKED!!! I <3 her!"

First off, people pretending to be Wicked fangirls just to be funny or something are far more annoying than real fangirls.

If people don't like shows then why do they insist on clikcing on a thread with the title of said show and waste their time reading/commenting? I mean, of course everyone can do what they want and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but isn't it kind of a waste? I'm not really fond of Spring Awakening or Jersey Boys so I don't bother with them at all. I wouldn't open a thread about a Jersey Boys tour or something just to say "I don't like Jersey Boys. Nah nah" No one cares.

No one is forcing you to read threads about Wicked and whether or not there will be an event for the 5th anniversary, it'd be a lot easier for members to read through the thread if there aren't posts that basically say noting more than "I don't like Wicked. :p" and people arguing with them.

The title of the thread isn't "What do you think about Wicked" so I don't really think opinions on the show itself are really necessary here.

Sorry. End of semi-rant.

I think the show improved the original novel's story.
I read the book and I found it incredibly boring. I keep reading it hoping it would redeem itself. It never did, at least not for me.
