Poll: Will you go see Lea Michele in Wicked? — Page 3

Ughhh well this is one of the few times that I hope God doesn't answer someone's prayers. or finger crossing = / she would be SOO bad in that role I can't even comprehend. Maybe it would be a good thing, though, since once all of those scathing reviews came in she would be run out of musical theatre forever....

My beef with her is, who does she think she is?? She's just like "Oh, I wanna play Elphaba!! And then Eponine. OOOh, maybe Mimi, too!!!" does she realize how many millions of other people are just as good or better than she is, and want to play a lead on Broadway?!? She's not the only person that wants to play Elphaba. I hate how she thinks she can just get any role she wants at the snap of a finger. She doesn't seem to be humble in the least. Some people deserve to not have to be humble, like Broadway legends or something, but her?! Give me a break

Nope, not really a fan of either...

You know what? OBVIOUSLY this girl has a belt. We just haven't heard it yet (at least not in Spring or when she was a child). If she couldn't belt, she wouldn't have been cast as Eponine.

Like it or not, Lea is one of the Broadway "it" girls right now. Of course she is going to be considered for other Broadway roles - at least if her agent is doing his job. Fair or not, when you are out there performing and networking, jobs come easier.

Let her speak out about what she wants to do. So what? She'll be seen for everything she wants to be seen for. She's talented, she's been in this business a long time and she knows a lot of people. Her beautiful looks aren't hurting her either.

Girlfriend is doing something right. Hating on her is wasted energy.

Young ladies, put your energy toward working on your own dreams.

If somethingwicked is wrong I am going to laugh very hard.

Is there a reason we need people to post her message again and again? It's already been posted.

I'm on somethingwicked's side. Why would Julia Murney, Stephanie J. Block, and other cast members tell us something that wasn't true? Many people I know have confirmed this.

If what somethingwicked and I believe is true, I'll "laugh very hard".

"Oh, I wanna play Elphaba!! And then Eponine. OOOh, maybe Mimi, too!!!"

...she never did mention Mimi. She's worked hard on Spring Awakening, 7 years I believe. If she wants to move on to other things then she is. There is nothing you can do about it. She's a good performer. If the she wants and the casting directors want her for the part of Elphaba then she'll be Elphaba. It's showbiz, get over it! I'm sure if you had the TALENT to move on to other shows in a "snap of the finger" you would.

Tiny_Dancer - my thoughts exactly!

Sorry if the message was posted before. Guess I missed it.
Anyway, I'm NOT in the know and will wait for an official confirmation - but if Julia and Stephanie and "other cast members" confirmed to you that it's Lea taking over, why is she (as of this morning) lying on her myspace instead of just keeping quiet altogether?

She probably said something so all of the annoying Spring Awakening fans would leave her alone and stop asking her. The blog didn't seem like a firm no though, seems like she could just be saying that.

Lizzya- I really really really really hope you get hit by a bus. I don't even think you understand how happy that would make me.

Popular, it just dosen't seem like she's saying "No, I'm not going to be Elphaba." She says oh it isn't true BUT I want to soooooo bad and maybe if the rumors keep going it'll come true.

I'm not saying she's lying, I'm just saying that the blog could be a little fib that she was forced to tell.

The storyline to wicked is enough to get me to want to see it in itself. If I had already seen it before, I may have made my decision based on that fact but, alas, I have not.
