Random Wicked Musings (Chicago production) — Page 3

Can someone explain the Evita homage to me? I saw the Chicago production of Wicked last Thursday, and I don't remember this part.

Also, I have seen numerous musical productions in Chicago, and the Wicked audience was by far the most enthusiastic.

1) The Toronto crowd was a bit variable. The preview crowd ( when I first saw it seemed a bit subdued. I KNOW there were a lot of group bookings & I always kinda wonder about that mindset- "oh we're on trip we better go to the theatre." Also Kirsty was a bit undewhelming and there were alot of shaking out & shaping out to come esp after Stephanie returned. 2nd viewing w her- the crowd was whistling & cheering even w a lot of teenagers in the crowd. ( OK I admit I WAS whistling & cheering too. My comments on Derrick have been repeated too often- will not repeat again except to say it again makes me realize how consumate a performer Norbert Leo Butz really is.
2) OHMIGAWD BACKSTREETS BACK?!!! My life has a reason to continue!!!
