Hi everyone,

I apologize if this was discussed already, but I'm seeing Wicked in DC this week at the Kennedy Center. Is there a stage door there?

Thanks!

The stage door is located in the hall of nations, right across from the access to the concert hall stage door.

Well I went last night, very good, had Kendra's understudy and talked to her later and found out Kendra is on vacation for the whole week.

Stephanie was great, glad I got to see her.

yeah i got to talk to derrik for a while.. he was really nice and signed and took pictures with everyone... but it takes them a WHiLE to get out.. (derrik was surprisingly quick)haha but actually kendra came out fairly quickly too... there was this huge crowd waiting and a bunch of the chorus came out earlier... in between was kendra.. and no one seemed to notice but me - who was at the back of the crowd... so she just walked off... -_- what blind people... so look for her.. i think she's in this black poofy, long jacket. ^^

does anyone know how the cancellation line is in DC? Is it anything like it was in LA where there are 100+ people there?

What is your dream role? My dream role would be to be myself. To be performing at the Hollywood Bowl and to have an audience there just to see me, as Stephanie. They are there because they like what I do as a singer, an artist and a person (the last being the most important). I enjoy escaping and portraying other characters, but to be accepted and wanted as yourself... that's amazing! --Stephanie J. Block Just one of the many reasons I admire and respect Stephanie!!

Not sure, Gretch - but I'll bump this up for you in case someone else knows.

Has there been any word on when Derrick's last performance is going to be?

Not sure about that either (gee, I'm a lot of help today!) but according to what Maria Eberline (tour Elphaba u/s) said on her fan website, his replacement is Sebastian Arcelus. Don't know if that was mentioned already or not... I don't remember anything official being said about it but if Maria wrote it I guess it's OK to say??

Sebastian Arcelus? Wasn't he in Good Vibrations?? Glad he's still getting work after that flop.

Wow, so it IS Sebastian. I remember someone posting a rumor awhile back. That's pretty awesome. He's a talented guy!

WithoutATrace, if they didn't continue to cast people who were in less than stellar shows, they'd have no actors left!

the only person in Good Vibrations that I thought had talent was Kate Reinders...I hope she goes into Wicked in NYC when Megan leaves.

I assume you're seeing Damn Yankees at Arena Stage. I saw the last dress rehearsal a few weeks ago. Brad Oscar was very good.

What happened to Andrae?

Fan: Oh my god! You're, like, standing right there and, like, looking right at me and, like, oh my god! Anthony Rapp: Yes, that's a pretty accurate discription of reality.

Sebastian's doing Fiyero?! ahhh! I love that boy! Ever since I saw him in Rent back in like 2002... it was his first time on as Mark or something, he was awesome!
Good for him! Good Vib was horrible!
