"I'd like to know that too. I would love to catch Julie Rieber as Elphaba sometime and I'm figuring that a matinee would be my best chance. Now don't get me wrong I still love Steph to death but I like seeing other people in the roles also. Plus I have seen Steph 7 times now...LOL"

Julie Reiber (who is BRILLIANT in the role) has not posted anything on her website about doing matinees. She updates regularly, so I would think if she knew she was going on, she would post it. You should try to catch Julie if you can in the role....she gives an amazing performance.

Agreed. I caught her in LA and was thoroughly impressed by her. I've seen various actresses in the role, and she was by far one of the best. She seriously got screwed/robbed in LA.

Sorry about that! I did search "new Elphaba" and didn't come up with anything so I just thought I'd ask. Sorry again!

I was curious in reading your posts about Carmen...I saw her on tour and loved her, I thought she was maybe the best I had seen. I also saw Donna, and while her acting was probably better, I thought Carmen's vocals were FAR superior, just fantastic, and I liked her take on Elphaba a little better...kind of cynical. What did you think, or anybody that has seen Carmen, think about her vocals? SJB just doesn't ring with me, I don't know why.

I have a ticket for June 14, the Saturday matinee, since it is her final weekend, will she be performing, or will I have the delight of seeing Julie?

Also, how has Kendra's attendance been?

Kendra was out about two weekends ago. Oddly enough, Katie Adams, the standby, didn't go on. Lindsey Northen, the understudy, did.

According to this website (Have no idea if it's legit or not) On March 28, they announced that Katie would leave the cast of Wicked April 15, but is she still there?

Heather Spore, other understudy is(or was) hurt too so that's why Lindsay went on for all 4 shows. I thought that Katie had prior comittments since Lindsay's May 16th show was planned.

As many of you know Katie has been back in the cast of Wicked for awhile now and will remain in the show until Feb. 2009. Hopefully some of you will be able to catch her in the show.

That's the lastest update on that site.
Hmmmm were they reading this thread?
