Shoshana rarely misses performances. She took off yesterday and today for personal reasons.

yea, defyingEDCT. Shoshana seldom misses a show and I gotta tell you, you really DO want to see her. I hope you get the oportunity like I had. Yea, her voice is more mature than Idina`s, but boy..... she will blow your mind. She doesn`t ever go off key and the best thing is- she SINGS and doesn`t scream,which is good and it`s also nice to understand the words and lastly..... she doesn`t gasp for air, ever!! Best of luck to you. - Cameron

ps: this isn`t too important, but she sounds so black. It`s funny,but amazing.

Yeah, I passed the Gershwin last night and saw Saycon signing at the stage door. I was surprised Shoshana was out.

i believe it was a scheduled absence...personal days. she definitely deserves a few days off to rest.

Ok I have been reading these boards for the past few weeks off and on deciding to join and voice my opinion (which at times can be strong) or just sit by. As you can see I joined. I can see that apparently everyone has their own oppinions and someone with the RIGHT oppinon must raise their voice and be heard. First how old are you people? 12 13 14? I'm not picking but people please there are more shows on Broadway WICKED is not the only show on the boards. Go see something intelligent. I was blown away that there was a post about TLIP and people were talking about loving that as well as Caroline or Change (which was fantastic) but the endless discussions about whos the best Elphie and who went on last night please pick a new topic. And one final though I know I will get alot of flack from this ... but I don't care. I will always give credit where it is due and I have tried to sit through shoshonna or however u spell it on a few occasions PEOPLE SHE IS BAD!!!!!!!!!!!! why do you clammer to see her. Can no one else not even tolerate her EEEEEEEEE 's they are repulsive. She does make some interesting choices but she is not the be all end all of Wicked, PS Props to my girl Saycon I was there when she got the black pants! not that any of you will know what that means.

Shoshana's out cause she scheduled off two personal days. That's why Saycon's in.

I didn't see the show but I had friends that did. They said that Saycon was AMAZING and played Elphaba much more like Idina did - a "younger" Elphaba in the beginning and less sarchastic than Shoshana does if that makes sense. All my friends that saw the show said that Saycon's vocals were FANTASTIC and that they would love her to take over come January.

I stage doored the show yesterday and Saycon came out holding a video camera and filming the crowd. Everyone screamed for her and she signed and took pictures with everyone - she just seemed so happy! It was really nice to see.

My, my. You sure made a grand entrance.

While I love Saycon more than Shoshana, I have to say - there is no such think as a RIGHT opinion. If it is right, it becomes a beautiful fact.

[Derech2]

AudrasBoi - Yeah. Well. Thanks for your opinion. And your manners are atrocious, by the way; not that you would not what that means. Thanks for dropping by. I hope you enjoy yourself on the board. There are special names for people with hopeless logic and beyond hopeless tact. Hopefully you're a fast learner.

Moving on.

Slightly off topic, forgive me -- but how does one pronounce Ms. Sengbloh's name? It's not often you meet someone called Saycon.

From what I've heard Shoshana sing, I would rather see Saycon Updated On: 7/24/05 at 11:03 PM

I heard she did great as well. I heard she does a clear change from ACT1 to ACT2, which is good. I tried lotto and lost. I really wanted to see her.

The video camera thing was very cute.

Where do you get the "ah" from in "SengblOH"???

[IveGottaBeME]

it was my first time seeing Wicked, and at first, I was disapointed that Shoshana wasn't in... But I ended up really enjoying Saycon. Her "Wizard and I" was excellent, she belted the crap out of it... Also really liked "No Good Deed".. "Defying Gravity" got me teary eyed. I haveto say that Megan Hilty is amazing and has a great stage presence, and the audience eats her up... she almost steals the show. I love Rue in Golden Girls but thought she was kinda distracting in this show... Also, didn't really enjoy Boq that much but he was ok. The understudy for Fiyero wasn't very good! How'd he get that part?? The ensemble was great. Ben Vereen was also great, wish he was in it more... liked him way better than the OBCR.

Which Fiyero understudy? More details please?!!!
