Posted: 5/15/04 at 6:45pmI just saw WICKED Wednesday night (for the second time). I was lucky enough to get the ENTIRE cast on, and wow!!!!! I'd never seen a better show the first time, but Wednesday was that much better! On the CD and the first time I saw it, Idina, while singing ok, sang with a lot of tension. This time it was like something took over her: she sang better than Kristin Chenoweth (if that's possible). The two of them of course had amazing chemistry, but Idina was just amazing (Kristin was amazing as always, but this time not as great as Idina). "Defying Gravity" was the most amazing feat I've seen in my life, and I cried during "For Good" and when Elphaba dies, not because I forgot the end, but Kristin was so convincing that her reaction made me cry. The conductor took it a lot slower than on the CD or the last time, which was really great, but it threw of the choir a little bit. I can't wait to see the show again (granted I have to get into NYC, first). I really hope the tour comes to DC with a good cast! Hats off for the most amazing performance I've ever seen in my life! Btw, is there any REAL news (not rumors) about who's going to replace Kristin Chenoweth? I'm really curious about that.

Posted: 5/16/04 at 7:25amFatone. The whole Little Shop thing is just a cover-up.
Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she sees, then teams up with 3 complete strangers to kill again.

Posted: 5/16/04 at 12:32pmYes, it's just one big cover up. Joey Fatone is replacing Kristin Chenoweth as Galinda.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 5/16/04 at 12:33pmmusicpos2 is a new poster, how is he supposed to know what has been talked about- even if it is wicked? its not right to ecpect him to search every topic he wants to post on before he does it for fear of being yelled at by people who dont have anything left to add to the topic he wishes to discuss. if a question which has already been discussed is asked- why cant we just suggest to do a search instead of jumping down someones throat over it?

Posted: 5/16/04 at 1:42pmI'm not a new poster, I just haven't posted in awhile. However, all the posts I've read have been rumors. Plus the point of the post was to talk about Idina's performance.

Right, but this is a message board and many people here have the attention span of a knat. If you're not a new poster, you should know by now that this thread is going to have 15 different diversions to it. lol
