Man I wish Jennifer's contract would be extended for about 5 more years. I thought she was loads funnier than Kristen, and she did much better showing the non-comedic side of Glinda. Comparing the acting and emotion in a scene like Thank Goodness between Jennifer and Kristin, Kristin's acting just seemed so dry and unmotivated.

I excited to see how Megan does though. I thought she had a magnificent voice, but her humor was sort of lacking ...

While I do not prefer Jennifer's interpretation of Glinda, she is nonetheless an excellent performer. I have heard ridiculously stellar "reviews" of her gratuity and rapport with fans. Having never met her personally, I cannot remark. However, after viewing the TODAY SHOW on Thursday, I just could not help but notice that, even though she barely spoke, something about her disposition said that she was just so..."nice." I dunno' how to explain it, but there you have it. Also, off and on the stage, she seems painfully hilarious. I just like her, damn it!

Since when did JLT not do matinees? I was in NYC during the third week of April and she definitely was on at the Wednesday matinee; I met her at the stage door.

She doesn't do Saturday matinees- it was part of the contract she signed when she extended. She does Wed and Sun matinees.

For those of you that were fan's of JLT's "chocolate and cheese" song/dance, she signed some posters for charity.

I personally think Wicked has THE best understudy cast, as well as regular cast on broadway :)
