ljay889 - munk will never miss an opportunity to tear something down. Ignore it. It isn't worth your time to even read those comments.

Megan is a MARVELOUS Glinda!!

Does anyone know if anyone will be out in "Wicked" on Dec. 28?

i saw Megan Hilty today (12/29 matinee)...

it was my first time to NYC, first time seeing a broadway show, and seeing time seeing WICKED obviously.. haha

i have nothing to compare to other than the sountrack, but i thought Megan was absolutely amazing! She is definitely a good Stand-by. Also, i went to the stage door after (i seriously ran out of the theatre haha) and she only took like 30 minutes to come out...she was so awesome, very sweet! she signed my playbill and i got a picture with her...she was gladly to sign everyone's things, and take pictures. she was definitely one of the nicest people i have ever met in my life. when she first came out she did the whole autograph thing and she wouldnt leave until she had everyone done, then she left and went to go get her food or something...then about 30 minutes later she comes back with a big bag of food for i guess her and others... and there were some new fans there and they asked her for an autograph, and she immediately put her things down and ran over to them to sign there things...and after she was done i asked her for another picture because i think someone kinda got in the first one...and she like "omg of course" and i was talking to her and i was telling her how it was my first time in NYC and my first time seeing a broadway show and how she did a phenomenal job and she goes "awww thank you so much" and we talked about a few other things and then she had to leave...but maybe she is in the running for a permanent role as Glinda if JLT leaves permanently...she is very sweet, nice, and awesome performer...very funny on stage and had her notes down... like i said i have nothing to compare her too, but for it being my first time seeing WICKED, she did an amazing job!

oh no i wanted to see her again - to see if she has improved since i first saw her when she took over (and she was pretty darn good then)

In my opinion Megan Hilty is really amazing, she completely changed the role from how JLT did it...and I think she's somewhat better then JLT, because the role is so fresh for her, since she doesn't do it every day.

Wow. I'm shocked at the things that I've read in this thread thus far.

When I saw Megan Hilty, she was a TRAIN WRECK. Train. Wreck. There was a point where I was almost 100% sure that "Popular" was going to metamorphose into lesbian porn before my eyes. It wasn't a pretty thing.

I saw Hilty on... October 22 or 23, I think. Was this one of her first shows? Maybe she's improved since then, which is entirely possible. But, wow... just... wow. She was horrible when I saw her. It kind of made me want to throw myself at Kristin Chenoweth's feet.

Megan was on tonight as Glinda (4-1-05), she told me at the stage door after the show that it was her 24th time performing the role. She did a good job, I was pleasantly surprised.

Hah i saw it 12/29 matinee also as my first time after waiting 5 hours in the cancellation line. Megan was really good and sweet at the stage door. But after seeing it in Feb. and last week I like JLT better, but I'm sure once Megan takes over and settles in she will be just as good.
