I really wish more of you guys could see Kerry when she's in London with Oli Tompsett and Dianne Pilkington.

The chemistry between those three is incredible.

Has there been any news of who will take over from Kerry when she goes back to the West End?

Nothing official, but the smart money is on Julie Reiber.

I hope so!

I love it when they upgrade the standby's.

Hope they don't do that in London though...the quality of the standby's and understudies isn't great right now.

Speaking of Julie Reiber, she just announced that she is playing Elphaba tonight. So, another week where Kerry didn't do all 8 shows.

Just because there's "loads of people!!!" at the stage door doesn't mean the show is selling out because of Kerry. That's a hilariously wrong thing to say.

Guys, quit bashing Kerry. I think she's already proved herself more than a million times over in the west end. She just needed some time to adjust to broadway, the feel of the two theaters are probably quite different. Not to mention, she's working with an entirely different cast and everything has a different feel to it. She did a phenomenal job on broadway and now she's back in London for her final run of wicked. I highly doubt many people could do the show for two and a half years and if you think you can, I invite you to try for broadway is holding auditions.

Wow you bumped a 4 month old thread just to say that. Kerry has been gone from Broadway for over a month now also. I agree with you. She did do a phenomenal job on Broadway.
