Fran_mex, What is your opinion? Are people still upset that Danna Paola was cast as Elphaba or has that died down?

The biggest update is tickets are ridiculously expensive and no one is going to be able to afford to see that ****ty cast!

Schedule for Danna and Ana as Elphaba.
http://twitpic.com/dbzf11
Yes, the production responded to complaints by posting a detailed Schedule for Danna and Ana here: http://twitpic.com/dbzf11
I'm really amazed about this.
Also, the pre-sale starts tomorrow, and there´s a lot of buzz about it...
BTW: Premium tickets are around 180 USD. Just noticed in ticketmaster. Premium tickets are both in the orchestra and the first two rows of the mezzanine.
Danna Paola (Elphaba) was on a late night talk show promoting the show and sang a tiny bit of "Wizard and I" with the host. English lyrics so it's a little rough but sounds promising! In my opinion

I guess those schedules were fake, this one was posten by Ana Cecilia, those are the day she is going to be Elphaba

I was just on Wicked Mexico and they posted a calendar for Danna and Ana's Elphaba dates and people are pissed off. Like they are overreacting to Danna's and Ana's casting. Like chill the f out.

Danna singing Defying Gravity
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtq8Jot2DCo
Hi! I found a video where Ana Cecilia sings The wizard and I .... I really feel she has improved a lot since she sang defying gravity 3 years ago. Even thoug the quality of the audio isn't the best, She doesn´t sound that bad . The rest of the video is the One short day scene
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoGMnUusMfA
I don´t think Danna will resist a long season. Her voice sounds weak, so i guess that we will see the understudies in action really soon.
And for Ceci de la Cueva, I looooove her as Glinda, she has that bubbly and quirky personality for Glinda. But I´m not so sure about her voice, but still I think she's gonna give an amazing performance. And also in One Short day Ceci and the rest of the company overshadows Danna, her voice doesn´t sound as strong as the rest on the people sounds.
I was reading that the translation for What is this feeling is going to be "Chocas", Does someone knows if this is true??

Today is the 9th of September and they open on October 17. Give Danna some more time. I'm sure she was nervous.
I'm not convinced. She does have time to improve...but if the rest of the cast is able to sound strong in rehearsals, than shouldn't she? If the nerves are getting the best of her now, wait until the show opens.
