KRISTIN CHENOWETH BACK TO WICKED?! — Page 2

"you joined to bring us this crap. I dont care. NOBODY CARES!"

Don't like the thread title? Don't care? Then don't click.

Cheno fan heard a rumor and came here looking for confirmation. No need to have a cow. If you really think that this is "crap," I'm sure there are plenty of other interesting threads on BWW that you can check out instead.

I believe her Undergrad degree is in Vocal Performance actually. OCU didn't start the MT degree program until after she had completed her Undergrad.

Sources at Joe Mantello's office have confirmed that Cheno IS going back to WICKED but it'll be the Broadway company and she'll be doing 'a Bebe' by returning to play Elphaba and NOT G(a)linda.

There ya have it. The original poster was slightly on target.

Ohhh, dear sarcasm, why are you so hard to get across?

"you joined to bring us this crap. I dont care. NOBODY CARES! I am not being mean this is life- she is not even that talented, yes i said it. Go to an opera house, everybody can do what she does, and more. The just dont sell out and do musical theater, (and commercials for Old Navy)!"

This is a foolish thing to post. People who make a switch from opera to musical theatre are not sellouts. Opera and Musical Theatre are very similar in many regards but in terms of the performance aspect I consider them to be very different. I challenge many of the opera singers you hold in such high regard to do what Chenoweth, Sutton Foster, Tonya Pinkins, Bernadette Peters are able to do in terms of that acting style.

The point is that you can't truly compare operatic and musical theatre styles of performance because they are extremely different in the ways they engage and hold and impress an audience. Musical Theatre isn't a step down from opera and opera is not a step down from musical theatre.

"Essentally, we all know they don't get along so why the hell would they bring th3em back together for another production "


Not that I even think this would ever happen, but the short answer: To make money. Wicked fans would be all over this in a second... But they've already brought Idina back once for that marketing ploy so the chances of the producers trying to use it again is probably pretty slim.

Let me get my hat AND my knife!

People can't even tell the difference between musical theatre or opera anymore. Is Gilbert and Sullivan musical theatre or opera? Porgy and Bess? Seriously.

Besides, Kelli O'Hara, who is now a Broadway actress, won the Met Opera competition.

Evadiva well said.

Kristin's undergraduate degree is in Music Theatre.. Her masters degree is in Vocal Performance. Period. End of discussion.

It seems to me that the ones who dislike Chenoweth the most are the ones that are completely jealous of her and her undeniable talent. The girl can do anything. Get over it. Some people have it and.... (ahem)... some don't.
