Posted: 6/18/05 at 11:07amSoon 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!

Posted: 6/18/05 at 11:09amShe 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.

Posted: 6/18/05 at 11:55amI 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.

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.

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.
