A while back, I read an interview with Kristin on one of these broadway-related websites wherein she mentioned that after her contract is up with Wicked she would be singing the title role in a new opera adaptation of Alice in Wonderland for the Los Angeles Opera. Kristin also mentioned that Placido Domingo, LAO's artistic director, would be playing the Mad Hatter.
Does anyone know if this is still going to happen? If so, I hope it all works out. It's great to know that she's also searching for roles/work that show off her impeccable coloratura. Of course, she does some of that in Wicked, but most of Glinda's role requires belting and a bit of a mix in some other spots. She really blazed a trail with that role, because it will be a challenge to find future replacements (beyond Jennifer Laura Thompson) that can traverse between belt, mix and stratospheric soprano.

Hey, before you skewer me...I don't have anything against Kristin...I think even SHE is tired of hearing about Wicked at this point. Though I'm sure she loved doing the show, I think she will be glad to move on to other things.
