Wicked Tour Added Line?

During the show on Sunday (which I had to leave early during), Jenna was coughing a lot during the first scene. Stephanie got down on her knees next to her and mouthed "Are you alright?" (I had front row seats, so I could see). It seemed like Carol added a line. She said, "Somebody fetch this girl a glass of water! It is obvious she is coughing and I am supposed to take care of her!" A few cast members ran off stage and returned a second before the scene ended, handing Jenna a paper cup (the funnel kind) of water.

Jenna choked on the bubbles in the opening act and was having a coughing fit because of it.

Why the heck did you have to leave early is the better question!

My mom had a seizure during One Short Day and we had to leave. She was fine a few minutes later (after the paramedics arrived), but we decided it would be best for her to go to the hospital.

This is a little off topic...but somebody took my camera (unless if it is still sitting in the music hall--and the cleaning people haven't seen it, which I highly doubt.). I just got the camera a week ago today--and I got a picture with STEPH before the show started! I was so upset! I was so excited to get that picture! That was one of the best moments of my life...in the top 200 or so (meeting her, I mean). My mom is fine now, she got out of the hospital this afternoon.

lol, I wasn't doubting you. I was just curious how you knew that--are you 2 good friends? Are you from Dallas?

Oh I'm so sorry, Parks. That really sucks but I'm glad your mom is better now. Sorry about your camera too!

Popular, I was totally thinking about you when Steph and I got the picture together--I remember you were constantly reminding me to take pictures (legal ones!) lol

greenyfied - you mean you were serious?? How the heck did she manage to swallow bubles?

Nope, not from Dallas. A friend of mine was at the show who asked her what happened. But I help run a site for Jenna (jenna.wicked-popular.com) and while I wouldn't say she's my "friend", we do talk on a regular basis.

That bubble machine lets out too many bubbles...supposedly Kendra once swallowed a bubble during one of her performances in Dallas.

And yes, I'm serious. She said she was standing on the platform or something and she took a deep breath and accidently inhaled some of the bubbles from the bubble machine, causing her to have a coughing fit.

Kristin mentioned that she had swallowed some of the bubbles and bubble liquid before.

Isn't Jenna playing Glinda? So the real question is what was Stephanie doing in the opening scene?

nessarose is always in the opener, on broadway michelle is on the left side when facing the stage and has that boot shaped hat that she sometimes is seen holding the back of. She told me once that the measurements of it was for her friend and not actually hers and the hat is small for her I believe so she always feels like its falling off


edit; oh i feel stupid now, wrong jenna
double edit; totally lost now. I'll just leave my nessa input not knowing whether its relevant or not

Whoops, I thought Jenna was Glinda. So who's playing Glinda? And why was Stephanie in the opening scene?

[brain fizz]

Okay, it's been a while since I've seen it. Looks like I'll just have to see it one more time.

(And by opening scene, we're not talking about Glinda in the bubble cage and the swinging monkeys and whatnot?)

so Nessarose is in the "no one mourns the wicked" part? didnt know that.

Wait...how is that possible? I thought Nessa is DEAD during the opening?

the actors who play boq, nessa and fiyero in the tour are all on stage at some point for the "no one mourns the wicked" opening number. The actress playing nessa and the actor playing boq are on the rolling platforms stage right and left. The actor playing fiyero is somewhere upstage in all of the group moments. I believe they all leave to change into their SHIZ uniforms well before Elphaba's "birth".

They do not appear as "nessa", "boq" or "fiyero", just as citizens of oz to make the stage look more full.

I am pretty sure this is also the case in the NY and Chicago casts, but I am not 100% sure.
