Idina's leaving date (please don't kill me)

So...apparently Idina is now leaving January 9th instead of January 2nd. If it's true and not just a glitch, I can imagine that some people with tickets for the 2nd are gonna be pretty pissed off. Anyone know if this correct?

LOL. Kristin left in July. JLT is leaving next April.

Where is it on the Wicked website? I just went through, and didn't see anything about it. Can you direct me to the section which shows the revised date? Thanks very much.

Thanks very much.

Idina still has a while until she leaves. Why is everyone so worried? If you want to see her as Elphaba, buy tickets now.

i dont think the worry is being able to see her. I think that those who bought tickets for the 2nd wanted to see her last show, not just another Sunday mat.

yeah, that's what i meant when I posted it. Some people paid a LOT of money (ticket brokers, on e-bay, etc.) to go on January 2nd because they specifically wanted to see Idina's last show.

gah i bought jan 2 tickets! WHY!!!

"I personally think this is a good lesson on being obsessed to the point of buying a ticket for hundreds and hundreds of dollars because one performer is leaving on a particular date..."

Ditto. You're paying hundreds extra just to see the actors on stage shed a few tears and maybe shell out a couple of extra ad-libs? It's pretty foolish to spend that much on one performer's last show...as nice as it might be, it is not worth the hundreds and hundreds of dollars, as it is really not a whole lot different from any other performance. If you bought tickets for January 2nd, and her last day is January 9th, what's wrong with seeing her a week before she leaves? Are you going to gain anything special from seeing a performer's last show?

If you want to see a performer's last show, don't go crazy with spending more than the ticket is worth by paying ticket brokers and scalpers - buy one at normal price. If you miss out, so what? It's not the end of the world.

People are obsessive in wanting to buy tickets for Idina's last performance! Everyone, including me, thought that her contract was up on January 2nd, and there has been a mad rush to get tickets for "Idina's last performance." Now there is something going around that she is leaving on January 9th. And people are going to complain how they spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars for January 2nd.

As I said, if you want to see the last show of a performer, don't go crazy and and get overpriced tickets. Spend the normal price. I see what you are saying, about them shedding tears and adding their personal touches, however, is it that worth it to buy a pair for $300+, when technically, you are hearing the same songs and same storyline? I don't think so.
