Is Jennifer Laura Thompson good as Galinda?

Posted: 6/18/05 at 11:07am

Soon I might see Wicked and I was wondering if Jennifer Laura Thompson's a good replacement for Kristin Chenoweth. I've only heard Jennifer Laura Thompson's voice on the Footloose soundtrack and she sounds great!

JLT left may 29th the Galinda is now Megan Hilty
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

She was great - as good, if not bettter than Kristin. But, the point is rather moot, since she left.

What the hell kind of question is THAT??!? JLT is tied for the best thing that ever happened to Wicked.

Unfortunatly, she left on May 29th. But I hear her replacement, Megan Hilty (did I spell that right?), is pretty darn good.

JLT was great but she's gone. Megan Hilty is there now. (Yes you did spell her name right) JLT was amazing though.

I missed JLT when i saw the show at the end of December and i saw Megan Hilty go on as her standby. She was amazing! After seeing Kristin i knew it would be hard to compare anyone, but Megan was funny and just plain adorable, not to mention a sweetheart at the stage door!

Anyone hear about this new chick Georgia Brown in "Oliver!" Rumor has it, she's great...any word? hehe...sorry...couldn't help it. Yes, she WAS excellent as Glinda. Sorry you missed her, hopefully Megan Hilty can do it justice.

Megan is wonderful. I saw her at the end of December too.

hahahaha.

In all seriousness..yea some people really need to do research before just asking a question. I mean even the offical site is a clear notion that JLT is no longer there.
A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it, but all she really dreams is to make someone else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer. And that is so beautiful-Anonymous

What's so funny, BSo? I'm seeing Patti as Evita Wednesday night, after the matinee performance of "Virginia Woolf"...with Uta Hagen, of course.

Michael Bennett! Not funny! Tsk tsk tsk.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
