When do you think they'll Announce... — Page 2

well she is supposed to be the next stand-by

Ok, I am new, but listen up everyone. I really do not care if you like 'Wicked' or not, but if you don't then you don't need to get mad at a person asking questions, if you don't like the subject matter of the thread then go to a new one, no one is keeping you from pushing the back button. And one other thing, so what if people are enthused for a show, I am happy that Broadway is getting this reaction from so many people, do you want every show to close, because these are the people who are also putting up the money to see the shows that you like and I don't see them saying "Oh, well I hated Asassins because everyone is talking about it", all I am saying is come up with a better reason to hate a show rather than hating it because some girls said "OMG I LOVE WICKED!".

*sighs*...*silence*...well, um, Thankyou!

wickedphantom...let me point a few things out:

Yes. The only way you are guaranteed to see the show with Idina is to purchase tix before jan 2. However, she has the option to extend her contract, so she could very well be in for longer.

Also, Steph said in many interviews that she would like to play Elphaba, but...the offer was made and it just wasn't possible for her...not because of Boy from Oz (which closes next month), but because of a number of other things. Just FYI.

I vote for Jennifer Holliday to replace Idina ....... and I'm only sorta joking .......

Al,

They create these message boards so that Bway freaks like me can discuss inane things like this. Trust me, who is taking over for Idina does not run my life, but it does interest me...so, take a breath, stretch, and calm down. =)

We're just concerned fans who want to know what is up, and try to get inside info any way we can get it. =)

Yeah I agree Millie. It's not that big of a deal in our lives but most of us love musicals and theatre (i hope..it'd be weird if ur on this site for another reason lol). We just wonder and compare our ideas and see if anyone else has the same ones or are interested in the same things thats all :)

I thought Shoshana was already a standby...

PLEASE STEPHANIE :)

Just an FYI. This website that reports that Idina's last day is 1/2/05. Is not the offical site.

THIS is the correct site:

http://www.wickedthemusical.com/

I enjoy Wicked but I think this is where everyone is getting some of their information.

EponineThenardier: hey i have no clue when they announce. i think it will be closer to when she leaves but that's just my guessing.

but whoever said stephanie j. block should be the next elphaba. hell yeah! i love that girl. i would so pay to see wicked again if she took over.

I'd love to see Stephanie as Elphaba but alas, it't not to be. She turned down the offer to replace Idina so it's not going to happen yet. I guess I'll have to be content with the 2 songs she did at her concert.

NO faq section on that website. You must be looking at a non-official fan website.

go to oz interactive, then oz guest services, and it's a ways down in there.
