I think that what Steph was trying to say is that if you miss the symbolism of the dragon being there it wont really take away from the story....

Is that right, Steph?

I love it when WICKED has a malfunction. It makes me happy in the inside.

Maybe I'm bitter?

You find it funny when someone finally gets the role they worked so hard for and then they get hurt and can't do the tour for awhile? Wow you must have had one screwed up childhood.

The Time Dragon clock, wasn't necessarily JUST A CLOCK, what it did in the story it had a STAGE on it that showed things that has happened in the past, events that have occured in peoples lives good or bad. So what I assume is that the stage at the Gershwin is the clock in its entirerty on a bigger scale, because it does have all the parts the clock in the book did, but this is on a grander scale, If you look at the play it pretty much is Glinda telling the story of Elphaba and the play itself in a narrator role, so what I think it is that the story itself is playing itself out on the Time Dragon stage as Glinda is telling it, therefore thats the reason for the dragon above the stage etc.

Defying EDCT...great explanation! It has been a long time since I read the book, but I do remember the clock would move from town to town causing great contoversy as the puppets on the stage of the clock 'told stories'. Thankfully, the stories from the book are NOTHING like the story of the musical.

OT - Didnt want to make a new thread.

I just listened to Soshana singing Defying Gravity via Limewire.

I really really liked it.

I mean really liked. Even bad quality recording and it gave me chills (when she yells its me you want...its meeee) I love that part :P

It seems she hits her "EE's" really hard tho, like in "graviTEEE" and " AT least im flying FrEEEEE" and "take a message back to meEEEE"

whoever the Galinda was though was not good. Had a wierd vibrato that did not suit me...ugh...performance was January 9th, 2005 (if i remember correctly...this was Idinas leaving date?) But for some off reason does not sound like JLT...who it should be right?

[superstarjpp]

Posted: 7/22/05 at 7:06pm

Well if its not JLT its probably Meg Hilty, but who knows. I think the most pleasant, flawless version of DG to listen to is Jenna Leigh Green's, but thats just me. The harmonies sound amazing and she hits every note dead on without any apparent struggle

[superstarjpp]

Posted: 7/22/05 at 7:10pm

I couldn't tell you much about that, but I hope you get to see her too, she is amazing

apparantly not. Looks like Eden is getting her practice in before taking over in SF

[superstarjpp]

Posted: 7/22/05 at 7:10pm

Really? Wow thats crazy, well those SF people got a lucky surprise

[LoudIrishGirl]

Posted: 7/22/05 at 7:20pm

Yay for SF! I am definitly going to stage door it when I see it up here! (via lotto, of course)

Does anybody know what exactly happened in the previous SF Wicked run regarding Cheno and a neck injury? I've heard rumors, but never the whole story! (and from what I've heard, it fits this thread...)

[DefyingEDCT]

Posted: 7/22/05 at 7:21pm

Cheno had to wear a neck brace in some preformances

[LoudIrishGirl]

Posted: 7/22/05 at 7:29pm

Yah, when I first saw Wicked (in NY) she had to wear one. She was still hilarious and worked it into Popular in a hilarious way.

Oh my GOd?! How did the show go on?! It's nothing without the bubble!!!!!!

[Dreamcatcher]

Posted: 7/22/05 at 7:38pm

Yeah Jenna sounded phenomenal as Nessa so I can only imagine how she sounded as Elphaba. And Nessa is a role that's kind of hard to sound phenomenal in due to the choice of solos etc. I really do wish I could have seen her as Elphaba. On the one hand, I loved Stephanie and thought she was awsome but I really would love to see Jenna. She was very nice at the stagedoor though. :-P

When I saw Wicked in LA a few eeks ago, the platform for the book didn't come up until the 2nd round of Eleka Nahmen's. It was weird, cuz Steph was doing the words fine, and then the book appeared out of nowhere, and she started reading it to say the same thing.

[defygravity2]

Posted: 7/22/05 at 7:46pm

I feel the same way, Dreamcatcher! Maria was ok, but I would have liked to see Jenna for my last LA show. (Come on, Orange County!).

Diva...do I detect some sarcasm?!? I know how much you LOVE this show!
