Posted: 10/24/04 at 7:47pmThe next Elphaba is being grown at the Gershwin as we speak in a special laboratory created by the world's best scientists hand picked by a committee specificaly designed to replace Idina Menzel should the time ever come.

Posted: 10/24/04 at 7:53pmtaht was great grownupgroupie. Rumor is either Shoshana Bean or Eden. Also less but still a chance of Kristy Cates. But most likely Shoshana.

I doubt Shoshana is going to get it! Isn't Stephanie still in the running for it too? And what do we know anyway!
Matt-G, you crack me up

No, she is flawless. The only flaw we, I...I mean THEY can't fix is the inability to be nice at the stage door.
Ve've been having zat problem for a while now.

At least Ms. Tomei isn't replacing Dee. Wouldn't that be lovely?
In all honesty, Shoshana deserves a really big role. I hope she either gets Elphaba or lands a new role, a la Eden. They both blow Idina out of the water.

Zoran, I'm not too sure if we saw different people and I'm not a big Idina fan myself, but they are not blowing her out of water. Not in the shows I have seen, unfortunately.

Posted: 10/24/04 at 8:31pmI think Queen Muppet is right. I have heard Eden clips and she sounds like a little whiney girl singing Elphie. She has a better range than Idina, but Idina overall sang the songs better. And I heard Eden's acting was mediocre, and not as good as Idina. And as for Shoshana, I'm hearing shes good. But I DOUBT shes blowing Idina out of the water yet, because she's only done a few performances yet! So, I think it's safe to say Idina is still the best.

Posted: 10/24/04 at 8:40pmHey wouldn't it be cool if the genetically engineered Idina fought a Robot Cheno. Now that would be sooooome slapping!
So my dear you think you can get to Broadway. Well, let me tell you something. Broadway has no room for people like you. Not the Broadway I know. My Broadway takes people like you and eats them up and spits them out. My Broadway is the Broadway of Merman, and Martin, and Fontaine, and if you think you can build yourself up by knocking other people down... ...GOOD LUCK... Seinfeld

The first post was funny Matt!
no, I'm getting upset - She is friendly at the stage door - well she was to me!
I think Shoshana is - def. not Eden - please NOT kristy and Stephanie has a problem with not going to shows (Boy From Oz - She was hardly there)

OK. First of all, Zoran, how dare you wish something like Brooklyn on someone like Shoshana. Shame on you.
Second of all, if Stephanie Block really is that flaky, then I hope she gets it. It'll make everyone happy. The Block fans will be able to catch Steph on the days she decides to show up and then every who wanted Shoshana will get their fair chances to see her and she won't kill her voice doing the part every day. The perfect compromise, IMO.

I guess thats true --- except when a new understudy takes over who isn't great
Some1 as good as shoshana isn't going to stay an understudy forever (ie Eden)
