For those interested in all things Wicked...
Kate Reinders is back from her leave of absence following her injury. I believe she is only doing 6 shows a week though, with Sarah Jane Everman performing matinees.

Posted: 11/16/05 at 8:40pmI would love to see her as Glinda. Although I am not a fan of the show, I think Kate could definitely pull it off. How is her soprano? I hope she is feeling back in good shape.

Posted: 11/16/05 at 8:42pmShe sounds great. Vocally she is second best to Cheno in my opinion...shes very funny in the role as well.

Awww. No matinees? Oh well. I'm sure Sarah will do great. 
This is my signature.

I loved Kate in Gypsy. Too bad she was out when I saw Chicago/Wicked. I thought Sarah did a wonderful job though.
None can ever replace Cheno.

I've seen Kate a couple times and I thought she was good, but I just saw Sarah Jane Everman, her understudy, and she was FANTASTIC! Her voice was just so rich and full, much stronger than Kate's. After listening to the soundtrack and Cheno so often - no Glinda has come close to making "Thank Goodness" sound nearly as good - except Sarah. And her comedic timing was phenomenal - she can hold her own with Ana. The only other Glinda I've seen that was funnier was Kendra, but then again Sarah's voice was far superior to Kendra's, so I'll just go out on that limb and say that this is THE GLINDA to see, even if she is the understudy. I should hope that Chicago will get to keep her once Kate's contract is up.
Bottom line: Don't be disappointed if get the Glinda U/S in Chicago - you will get what you paid for - and then some!
