Hey-sorry for the Wicked thread. I have been hearing that Wicked (JLT and Shoshana) will be performing One Short Day tomorrow on the Today Show. Anyone know if this is true?

Ooh,I'm going to try and tape this. I've never heard Shoshana sing (excpet for on the Backstage at Wicked video). This should be interesting.

Oooh, thanks guys! This should be fun!

You don't have to wake up so early, they don't get to the performances till around 8:45. Have it at 8:30 to be safe but they usually have these segments from 8:45-9:00. I set my vcr from 8:45-9 when Chitty was on and didn't miss a thing.

Why are they performing? This show doesnt need anymore ticket sales...kinda strange. Should be interesting though!

Was this on?

Yes, it was on. It was cool but it sounded like they were having trouble with the sound at the beginning.

It did sound like there was some sound trouble. You could barely hear JLT. It was cute though. It was the wish of some lady to sing with the cast of Wicked or something to that effect.

What time was it on?

[LucyThropp]

Posted: 5/19/05 at 10:14am

It was on around 8:25am. I was flipping channels and saw all these green costumes!, realized it was WICKED and caught it right as it was beginning. Glad I decided to change channels.

Damn to whoever said to set my VCR from 8:30 to 9!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone have a clip from it on their computer?

Dont worry, it was pretty lame. You didn't miss anything that you havent already seen. I am immediately regretting my decision to get up early...

It was part of their 'live for today' series where people write about what they want to do before they die. People then voted on what they wanted to see. This woman wanted to perform on Broadway. They've been posting these video clips on the Today Show website so it may be up there tomorrow if you missed it.

Posted: 5/19/05 at 10:39am

Ok, thanks, I'll look for it on their site.

Still disappointed I missed it though.

I know this will be posted several times today, but anyone who might've been able to get a digital version or computer version of the "One Short Day" performance, please send me a PM. Thanks.

What a disappointment, but not their fault. I'm pretty sure they would have done a sound check before hand, but the sound was completely messed up. I kept on hearing people talking in the background (loud and clear).

I finally have tickets for this show next week, so I'm kind of curious if I'll like it or not.
