I have been checking the two sites provided but haven't seen anything.  Has anyone heard any insight if tickets to the taping would be released?

I swear they better have Adam Lambert and Eden Epinosa for "As Long As You're Mine".. They were just hanging out together in Las Vegas between Queen residency dates.  If he's even interested, he may not be.  Or Shoshana, I'm not picky!

Anyone else get the email from Wicked this morning with info on how to attend?

Buy a ticket to see Wicked 10/29 or 10/30 (via the special promo) and you get in to the concert on 10/16.

Yup. Bought my ticket back in April so kind of annoyed.

Oh gosh, me too! Is there any contact information on that email to see if there's any way to get credit for buying tickets a while back?

Can someone post the code for this?

[steven22]

Posted: 10/5/18 at 9:03am

There’s no code - you have to purchase via Broadway direct through a specific link. The instructions say we’ll receive an invitation to the taping on 10/11 and have to rsvp by 10/12 to gain admission.

Are you able to post the link?  Is it universal or unique to each purchaser?

Do you think you could send me the link as well, please? I'll be visiting NYC at exactly the week of the taping, been checking everywhere to see if I could find tickets, with no luck. Has this link been sent out through a newsletter?

I just noticed there is an auction on Audience Rewards for this. There are three packages.

 

"Celebrate WICKED's 15th Anniversary in the most Ozmopolitan way! Be a part of the exclusive audience at the taping of NBC's "A Very WICKED Halloween: Celebrating 15 Years on Broadway" on Tuesday October 16th, featuring performances by Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoweth, Ariana Grande, Pentatonix, and more. The following evening, you will take in the magic of WICKED on Broadway with two Orchestra tickets to the 7pm show, capped off by a thrillifying backstage tour at the Gershwin Theatre!"

Can't I make you understand, you are having delusions of grandeur?

Could you send this to me too please?

A link up thread indicates that that offer is no longer valid.

Can we asume that Grande will be playing Elphaba in the movie version??

Why would anyone assume that?  Why would anyone even WANT to assume that?  Her participation in Hairspray was like a boneheaded experiment that went horribly wrong.  She can't act, she can only sing in one overly-poppy stylized manner, and she has absolutely no sense of character, setting or comedic skill.  If you absolutely MUST require a young, trendy pop star and the idea of acting is to be considered laughably irrelevant to the project, Taylor Swift would make a better Elphaba...and she would be TERRIBLE.  Hell, why not get Grace VanderWaal?  She's newer and younger than Grande, but with even less talent!  Which do we prefer: Scoopy Idol Xerox-pop or whiny vocal fry?  I can't decide which is better for Elphaba...oh wait, it doesn't matter!  They wouldn't have to actually play a character.  They just need to say lines out loud, wear costumes, and lip-sync to their new pop album featuring songs from Wicked.  Phew!

GAWD.

Perfectly stated, Mister Matt. Grande’s participation in HAIRSPRAY: Live! looked great on paper for NBC/Universal in every way you looked at it but she colossally failed miserably and what could have been a great opportunity for her to shine only showcased everything you stated. Even after months of rehearsals she had no grasp of the Penny Pingleton character. God only knows how bad she must have day at the start of rehearsals and what we saw was tons of training by many. I feel Lady Gaga will take on Elphaba for the WICKED film and her involvement will bring on board incredible big names to the film.

Lady Gaga or Jessie J would be incredible.
