this is going to be amazing. Eden was fantastic in Wicked when I saw it a couple years ago....

woot, woot.

Not sure what that means, but all my friends do that when something exciting happens, so . . . .

woot, woot.

Will is a fantastic Roger. Before I saw Adam, Will was totally my favorite. I might have to make a return trip to RENT now that he's there.

Merle and Eden belting out "Take Me or Leave Me"... I think that's the only thing that could pull me back to see it before it closes.

I would have thought she would have been Mimi, but this is cool too!

Wow, some people need to grow up.


Anyway, I'm excited. Will Chase is insanely talented (and so is Eden Espinosa, all things "BKLYN" aside).

I really don't like Will Chase as Roger.

I am excited to see Eden though, especially with Merle.

Hm, I was planning on seeing this once more before it closes, but Will Chase will definitely get me there faster. I'll be interested to see Eden in this role, as well. Never seen her in anything.

Will's great and this is awesome for him. Eden, I'm not so sure. Just can't see her as Maureen.

[IdinaBellFoster]

Posted: 4/29/08 at 6:54pm

Well it's true, Eden is turning into Idina.

Slowly but surely.

[Pascal/Menzel/Bundy]

Eden and Merle are going to blow the roof off of that theatre.

haha IBF! Very true.

Ok, this may be enough to get me back in there one last time...

idinabellfoster, you have an a good point! i didnt notice it before but it's true!



and eden will be amazing!

Will Chase, great, Eden, not so much. Sorry, I really just don't see it. I'm sure all the old BKLYN shills will be in full throttle mode when she gets there saying how "amazing" she is but we'll see.

Eden is going to be amazing at this!!!
Can't wait to see it

[DottieD'Luscia]

Just curious, why are the three people currently in those roles leaving (especially since it's closing)? I thought they'd want to be a part of the closing cast.

[musicandtemiror]

Posted: 4/29/08 at 7:49pm

I wish Declan was staying

[maya5892]

I'm really excited for this, actually. And it's funny; Idina started out as Maureen, originated Elphaba. Eden was her stand-by and gets to finish Maureen off. Full circle.

yeah i agree eden and merle will make me see it before it closes. they are a perfect match for maureen and joanne. i would love to hear audio or see a video of them singing take me or leave me.

I will definitely shell out money to see Eden Espinosa's Over the Moon.
And yes, she is the only reason I will see it one last time.

Dottie - i think, could be wrong, Declan is here on work visa i believe. Nicolette is leaving for legally blonde....I don't know about the current Joanne.

Really, really glad about Will. He's one of my favorite Rogers.

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 4/29/08 at 8:39pm

Thanks, Motortink. Where is Declan from?
