Why and When did Michelle Federer leave Wicked?

I'm pretty sure she left Jan 8th this year. Why she left? Well she's been with the show forever and I would think she had enough of it and needs to try something new. That is my opinion about it but that's what I've got for ya! Seems you are new here...have you read the FAQ? and of course welcome!!

isn't she going to be Julia Roberts' standby?

Indeed she is.

I really want to see her, not Julia Roberts. Anyone know if Julia is taking any time off during her run?

Well, depending on her reviews- who knows how much she will be in.

Why would you want to see Michelle Federer over Julia Roberts? I am not a huge fan of Julia but Michelle is a very boring in my opinion.

Really, NYC4Life? I thought she was quite good in her role. She managed to make a full character out of a poorly written plot device.

I really did not care for her. I did not think she was bad, but I thought they could have found someone better.

I though she was amazing. She deserves a better/bigger part anyways before we start to judge her, but I still like her.

[bwayondabrain]

Posted: 1/25/06 at 8:32pm

yeah, i thought her part was very underwritten
she did well with the small part she had. and that is a big deal to be julia robert's standby!!!

I thought that she was very good in Wicked, but I preferred Shoshana in that role. Her Wicked Witch of The East was very good.

Even so, Michelle is talented enough to move on to bigger things.

you preferred Shoshana to be Nessarose?

Anyone remember the SEINFELD episode with Bette Midler?

That's funny, I didn't think Michelle played Elphaba or Shoshana played Nessa... Updated On: 1/26/06 at 11:05 PM

I just really want to see Michelle in a nice big starring role. She's got talent. I hope she does very well.

[trpguyy]

Could someone please explain to me what real talent is needed for Nessarose? I'm sure Ms. Federer is very taleneted, but how can anyone tell? Her performace was quite forgetteable, save the annoying leaning back and forth all the time.

Shoshana covered Nessarose when she was the Elphaba standby. She did a pretty good job, and definitely had one hell of a Wicked Witch of the East.

I'd be willing to bet that Michelle will never get to go in Three Days Of Rain.

I've worked with Michelle, and she is far too talented to be stuck in that wheelchair-bound role (not to mention that it's just a lousy adaptation of a much better book). She is very funny, has a nice voice and can really act - I'm glad she's moving on to the possibility of bigger and better things.

If Julia Roberts knows what's good for her, Michelle will never go on for her. People are paying to see Julia Roberts, and I'm sure *many* people will be traveling in from a far just to see her.

[SirLiir]

So true Foster. People will see Julia is out and get their refunds right away. Personally, I just really love to see Michelle in a better role and let her wings fly.

I would not like to be Julia Robert's understudy and go on to a thousand angry people...or less depending on how many get refunds.
