Good!
This way she will hopefully be 100% for Philly when she gets here.
Rest up and feel better!
Get Well Stephanie!
Best of Luck Eden!
That is if she renews her contract. Think about it, it will come to Philly nearly exactly a year after it premiered. I hope she does renew, and if not, it's a road trip to D.C!
My friend emailed Steph, and she said she will be leaving the tour in January and will not be renewing her contract. This was before the announcement of her absence in SF, so maybe she will change her mind after having some rest...

I only wish she was finishing up the LA run. Stephanie really sounded off when I saw her. She couldn't control her voice in Defying Gravity...it is probably because of her injury. Ahh well. Here is hoping Jenna is on next time I see the show.
Get well Steph!
I hope she takes this 6 weeks for a full recovery and she is healthy for the remaineder of the run
Now you have a link!
Buy tix! Support Eden!
I'm going twice.. Can't wait!!
When I saw WICKED the first time, I saw Eden play Nessarose and I thought she was amazing! So good for her. It's always good to see people working!
I hope Stephanie gets better. Although I prefer Idina, Stephanie did a fabulous job.
OMGsh! I feel so stupid that I didn't know she was hurt! Oh! I hope she gets better!!!!!!! Thanx for telling me.

For any of you who may be disappointed that Steph Block is not going to be in SF - let me tell you this...
I saw the original pre-Broadway tryout in SF and thought the show was good but a little saggy in parts. I saw it again several months later in NYC and Eden Espinosa was on for Idina.
I thought Eden was actually much better in the role. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED Idina in Rent and think she is very talented. But, she was VERY INTENSE and very clench jawed in Wicked. Espinosa seemed a better fit to the role and the material. I do not know anything about Ms Block - but Eden will be a real treat for those of us in SF.
