Hey yall. I got this in an email from Wicked Ozmopolitan News. Not all of it is posted on their site yet, so heres some more info!
A TEARFUL GOODBYE. It was quite an emotional day at the Gershwin Theatre on Sunday, July 18 as Kristin Chenoweth and Norbert Leo Butz played their final performances to a highly enthusiastic and very supportive sell-out crowd. Several times throughout the show Kristin, Norbert & Idina Menzel received standing ovations with explosions of screams, cheers and applause. All of us in the Land of Oz shall miss them terribly - for we have all been changed for good.
A WICKEDLY WIZARD
Two-time Tony Award winner GEORGE HEARN (La Cage aux Folles, Sweeney Todd, Sunset Boulevard) has joined the cast of WICKED assuming the role of THE WIZARD beginning July 20.
