Wicked in London — Page 3

the day of the press launch was the same day all the dates were added onto Ticketmaster. If you clicked on a date you could see you could book using something called the Whiteroom Card Offer. the Whiteroom card is a credit card, owned by clear channel, that gives you special privilages such as advanced booking. So i clicked on it, it said enter password. With most deals on ticketmaster its easy to guess the passwords. i put in "whiteroom2 and it worked. i booked my tickets, and i could pay with my normal debit card. i didnt even need this whiteroom card. My tickets arrived and they look no different to normal tickets. Other people also booked without the Whiteroom card, it was pure luck. the deal was quickly taken down the next day.

how did you get ur Wicket tickets? and how much are they?

i'm very interested you'll be hearing from me shortly how did you get them for press night?

i know that on playbill.com it says that idina menzel is in the running for the lead in evita in london. but i'm a flight attendant and have had a few theater people on my flights and have heard consistently that idina is also in talks to play elphaba in london for a few months.

Well, the reason she decided not to go after the role of EVITA in London was that she didn't want to be away from her husband. So how would she be coming to London after all to play Elphaba when she didn't want to come to play Eva? Unless her engagement as Elphaba is a very short period of time and Taye Diggs is coming to London as well...

It said on the email they sent me that they will be announcing the cast next month. The Americans are over this month (according to the email) and they'll be announcing in May.

Adam Garcia? Normally I'm sceptical about 'names' being cast but he's pretty good.

Yay!

I know! The fact that without any 'stars' attached to it it's already sold £2 mill worth of tickets fills me with a lot of hope that they'll go for quality over names.

Not that names are bad - as long as they can perform.

Re Idina not being able to sing for three years.....


Ummmm you have not heard her sing on See What I Wanna See then?

Towards the end of her Wicked run she was a bit iffy but then she had been singing the role for a long time. I saw her pre Tony Awards and was blown away. I have friends who saw her after and later in the run and they were impressed. However there is plenty of evidence on "places" that she had her off days.
