that's what i believed happened.

Derech
the opinion that she is a mediocre actress is not everybody's. for as many people as there are who think she's not up to par with her acting skills, there are those who think she does a wonderful job. your best bet is to try to check out the show and form your own opinion of her.

Well of course, everyone has their own opinion. It would be nice to now what specifically others found so mediocre and community level.

And I would love see Shoshana and Jennifer, but I'm afraid I live about as far away as is possible and still live in the continental US. So if you pay for my plane ticket, I'll pay for two tickets for us to see the show. How about that? LOL

How about we accept that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and everyone has one, and that's not gonna change...and everyone stops ripping each others heads off?

i'm from hawaii and i've seen the show.. well, more times than most lets just say, lol. and i'm pretty sure hawaii is about as far as one can be from NY while still being in the continental US. but how bout if YOU'RE ever in NY i'll make sure you get to see it while in town.

Yeah, okay, but that doesn't mean it's not beneficial to talk about and discuss opinions.

Hawaii is not part of the continental US ... right, since it's not part of the continent?? Or maybe I'm just having a brain fart. But if I get the chance to visit NYC I'll be saving big $$$ to see it a couple dozen times.

haha....but Eden was invovled with Brooklyn waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before Wicked ever happened....but i admire the joke...i am brooklyn fan...i thought it was funny...

SHNEB, hahaha, AMAZINGLY HILARIOUS! hahahahahahaha....

I'm not exactly a huge fan of Eden so that made me laugh out loud while I was in the School of Music Library. haha, yeah, the cello kids loved that! hahaha...

Anyway, I would just like to say to everyone that it is a curse, everybody who plays this part gets hurt somehow...seriously...Whether you wanna call it a curse or not, bad things happen to the girls who play the wicked witch!


And PS, I heard about it from my boyfriend who works at the show. He's interning for 321 Production company (he's a musical theatre major at U of M), who produces the show, and he also sells merchandise at the shows.

Maybe it's not a curse... maybe the production needs to do better job safeguarding its actors.

lol. It's hard to be good when you pay money for a Broadway show and get community theatre acting. >>>

heh lol heh


There are some real diamonds in the rough in community theater acting. Be kind.

I was there in the fifth row. I just posted about it on the other board, but I was more ranting about how slow the crew was to notice.

She was coming up out of the trap door and her ankle got caught. Well, I think her dress may have gotten caught first and then her ankle as she was trying free the dress. Shoshanna and half the orchestra section were yelling for help before they finally let the trap down, but she limped off and came back 15 minutes later like nothing had happened, so I think she's fine.

Posted: 4/18/05 at 2:26pm

But maybe the real curse is that the crew isn't paying attention

OMG! A few weeks ago, I posted on Shoshana Bean's fansite a question about whether she thought there was a "Wicked Witch Curse" because of what happened to both Margaret Hamilton and Idina. She answered that she'd never thought about it, but now she would! I felt kinda bad afterwards because I felt like I'd jinxed her or something. Now to read this...AH! I'm so sorry!

Margaret Hamilton actually received second and third degree burns on her face and hands, and they had to stop filming for 2 weeks so she could recover. As soon as she was burned, they had to mop down her face and hands immediately to get the copperpaint off before it melted so that she wouldn't be permanently disfigured. Yes, I own the Wizard of Oz DVD and have watched every single special feature on the show more times than I wish to share.

I can't swear to it, but I think she really is fine. She may have been a little sore on Sunday.
But at the end, as a joke, Jennifer gave her a piggyback ride out for their curtain call, it was so cute. The audience went nuts. Then she put her down and Shoshanna seemed fine.

Wow. There really is a curse...haha, told you!
