Today's matinee was amazing! Eden, Laura, and Sean McCourt were on, as well as an understudy for Nessa. The cast was amazing! I cannot imagine Idina being better than Eden. Laura was cute in the role. Randy wasn't bad as Boq, nothing special. Laura's tiara fell off during the bows and then was caught in her hair. Very cute routine to remove it. I got a backstage tour after the show thanks to Ben Cameron. HELLO Kristin! You have one HELL of a dressing room.

WHY IS KRISTIN MISSING SO MANY PERFORMANCES....did it say why she was out??? I am already not seeing Idina next saturday, and I really don't want to miss Kristin. I find it very unprofessional for a performer to miss as many "unexplained" performances that she has....she better be in the show next weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't she making "The Pink Panther" remake?

She's been scheduled to be out 6/26-6/27 for over a month. I can't imagine Eden being as good as Idina, and I better not find out on 7/3...

Did somebody really say they can't imagine Idina being better than Eden?

yeah, I chose to laugh and read on. Eden is good, but Idina is just Idina :)

I was at the lottery for the show today, and I was the second name called! I took a picture of the understudy board in the lobby, it was so funny. It was so great to finally see Eden in the role. Sean was also exciting, Laura was hilarious (although her singing was not quite up to par with Kristin's), I didn't like Sean McCourt's understudy, he butchered that note Sean holds out so perfectly. I was sad. But not for long.

As well as me being thrilled to see Eden (finally!), SHE was just as excited as I was. She was so fabulous today, her No Good Deed scared the crap out of me, and in Defying Gravity she was leaning over the edge of the...thing, looking down at all of us. it was great. All in all, I thought the performance went VERY well. It was also when many special things happened to me. I won the lotto, Eden remembered me by name and everything, I got to see her perform, I got backstage... Ahhhh, today was so good!

Oh, but Randy sort of dissapointed me. I mean I heard him going up and down the scales behind the curtain just before the show started, but he just didn't do it for me. And his Witch of the East? He was rushing so bad, and I was like "Ohhhh Randy, slow down." And then he caught on, eventually. Right at the end of his singing part, but oh well.

Oh, BRDWYTHRT: You were also in Kristin's dressing room after the show? Maybe I might have seen you. I was the redhead in the green top and denim skirt, the one who was probably hyperventilating.
