Okay... FINALLY! I got me a ticket for June 12th Matinee.

Right now Shoshana and Laura are in the show. Will they be? Is there a major cast change going on? Do they usually play matinees? I am excited to finally see the show (and on broadway) My ticket is in row r or s center. Is that good? bad? Wicked? LOL

THANKS

The cast changes May 30th I believe... Megan Hilty will take over as Galinda, Rue McClanahan will be Mmme. Morrible, and Ben Vereen is taking over for the Wizard

Megan is good. I saw one of her first performances ( I think), and I prefer JLT, but she was really good.

I saw Megan as Glinda back in Decemeber. She was AMAZING then! I can't wait to see how she has improved the role even more!

Megan was amazing. She is also very nice. I stood outside the theatre in freezing tempetures and she comes out and I was more towards the back. After a while the guard told her she had to leave due to the big crowds. Right as she was walking past me I sighed and said awwww she's leaving. She looks up and the guard said she must go. She then looked at the guard and said somthing like What? My fan supports me, I can support him and signed a quick auto.

I really wish they'd give Sean (McCourt) a shot at playing The Wizard full time. He was amazingly good when he filled in for Joel and it hurt me to see the legendary Mr. Hearn fizzle in the role when they could/should have casted Sean who made the Wizard a standout for the first and only time for me.

I did not see McCort but I am very interested to see what Vereen does with the role. I loved Joel Grey, though and did not care for Hearn at all. r or s center should be fine.

I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

Ive heard a bootleg online of Megan and i must say, Vocally, she sounds exactly like Kendra from the tour, who is kinda good vocally, and Kendra, to me, sounds alot like Adrienne Mcewan who played Christine in Phantom in NYC off and on for years

Row S is fine! I had Row U for Idina's last and I didn't miss anything.

Megan is a really wonderful vocalist and actress. You'll love her!

I really hope you enjoy Wicked because I really did. The plot is very suspensful in my opinion and I was sitting off to the side in row L. I think every seat in that theatre would be good because of how they are around the stage. Enjoy yourself and I am sure you are going to love it especially if you love the music! I know I do. Everytime a song came up it gave me goose bumps.

McCourt is too young to be the Wizard. He is an elderly man, and I have seen McCourt's portrayal. It would have been okay if his character wasn't the Wizard. He looked like he was Elphaba's age, which wouldn't make sense to the plot.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
