The Elphaba Shuffle

This is my first Wicked thread. Ever. Don't yell.

I'm confused. Are all 3 of the current Elphaba's contracts up in January? By all 3 I mean Steph, Shoshanna, and Ana. I was just told that Shoshanna is hopping on the tour by a friend, and I really reallly don't want that to be the case. She said they were just going to switch them around...any clue?

Sho and Ana leave in January, Steph leaves in March. No official word on replacements.

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

I believe the rumors of Bean joining the tour are untrue.

I think Wicked is her goodbye to musical theatre, as she embark on her "career" as an R&B artist. cough*yeahright*cough

thanks :)

That still pretty much sends her theory to hell.

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

Most Wicked rumors are made up, and have no truth to them at all.

There used to be a rumor that Wicked was closing.

I doubt they'd switch them around.

Bean has been very vocal about her want to not do Broadway anymore.

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

Well Bean has said she won't do Broadway unless it's in Funny Girl.

Since she'll never be cast in that show, I think we're safe from her "performances".

greenbean is the reason I haven't seen Wicked in almost a year. I saw her once, and it was only because we won the lottery on 1/9. I really want to see Meg Hilty, but I'm waiting till shoshana leaves.

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

I still can't beleive she would say that... but when she's auditioning again i hope casting directors remember it... if it's true i mean!

She wrote it on her freaking website!

It has since, been removed. Of course.

I prefer calling her BeanCurd, but GreenBean works too.

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

her attitude seems horrible. I guess one night someone asked her what the best part of playing elphaba was, and she said "I get a driver."

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

ha! i'd love that, too!
#14

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

The R&B thing is very true. She stated it multiple times when her website had a Q&A.

She had some real snotty answers on there.
#15

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

"I get a driver". She actually said that.

Gah, I cannot stand her small talent and her big attitude.

Yes, ljay there were some snotty answers on there. How convenient they are gone now...
#16

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

yeah, I didn't beleive my ears.

Not that that wouldn't be amazingly wonderful, but you have a kid ask you what the best part of playing this role is, and you give such a dumb answer.

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

She's been in 2 Broadway shows, and now she thinks she is this big star. Drives me nuts.
#18

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

I know it. She really bothers me in Godspell. I didn't experience her in Hairspray, and I hated her in Wicked.

If we don't watch out, a BeanPole will come in here and teach us a lesson!
#20

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

i think she has got a good voice... but there are a lot of things working against her for a music career! Plus you should never bite the hand that feeds you!

Bobby, I don't get it.

Please tell me that is not actually someone's user name.

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

LOL @ Bobby.

The thing that makes me laugh so much - is that her little fans think she is this big star, but she is nothing more than a C-list Broadway performer.
#23

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

I can't stand her voice, personally. It hits these weird tones that are very harsh and hard for me to sit through.

And her need to riff every note also drives me nuts.

re: The Elphaba Shuffle

For clarity:

Shoshana Bean = Bean Curd

Shoshana Bean Fans = Bean Poles

People Who Dislike Bean Curd and/or Bean Poles = Sexy
