Has Saycon gone on as Elphaba lately? Any news or pictures of her as Elphaba? I'm going to Wicked this coming Friday at 8 and as much as I wanna see Shoshana, I kind of want to see Saycon. Well, I'm going again in July so hopefully I'll see her in one of the shows.

Shoshanas only been out twice which is pretty good for someone whos been in the show since January. So chances are, youll have Shosh. J.LA's out quite a lot so you may have Megan Hilty though who I hear is wonderful (she is the next Glinda as well so it would be cool for you to kind of get a "sneak peek") :)

and ifyou see Hilty, you will probably see Ben VEREEN, who officially started company rehearsals today

I doubt JLT will be out. It's her last week in the show.

Speaking of Saycon - am i the only one who owns her debut cd?? It's available on her website. Very R&B and Very Nice!!
Also, check the pictures on the website...she looks TOTALLY DIFFERENT than the girl with the close-crop hair do in her PlayBill photos.

JLT was on vacation 2 weeks ago, that's why she was absent. Shoshana has been out 4 times I think. Chances are, you will be JLT as Glinda because she only has another 16 performances. If you're going this Friday, you will not see Ben Vereen as the Wizard, because he starts May 31st.

She certainly does look different in those pictures, I think.

Actually, May 30th is JLT, Carole Shelley and George Hearn's final performance. Megan Hilty, Rue McLanahan and Ben Vereen begin performances on May 31st.

May 29th is their final performance, not May 30. May 30 is a Monday and May 29 is a Sunday and there are no shows on Monday's.
