#0WICKED - Updates?
Posted: 8/9/03 at 7:03pmI have been muchly behind in following up on many things. How is WICKED coming along? Has any cast been announced?
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 8/10/03 at 2:20pmI thought that the Wizard was recast and Robert Morse was out?

Posted: 8/10/03 at 10:04pmJust saw on the homepage that Joel Grey is going to be the Wizard. That should be amazing...

Wow, Joel Gray instead of Robert Morse!
I was looking forward to seeing Morse... I played Tackaberry in HOW TO SUCCEED in a few years back, and loved the movie version. But Joel Gray is someone I've always wanted to see!

Posted: 8/10/03 at 11:08pmWhen I saw Wicked in SF, I wondered if Robert Morse would remain. I guessed correctly on the other cast change. Even still, it was a great show and I'm looking forward to seeing it again on Broadway. To those who already have tickets, enjoy!
