I just realized Idina Menzel won't have to wear anything green today...she is green. I just thought that was funny.....I hope she pinches Kristin. I can totally see the two of them running around backstage pinching each other.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Updated On: 3/17/04 at 05:47 PM

yeah i know! I saw the matinee, guess who wasnt there??? oh wait i know! ms. chenoweth! but in all seriousness, Laura Bell was really good today, and im really not sure who i liked better...Kristen obviously can take command of No One Mourns the wicked, and the audience much better, but laura bell injects this new youth and happiness to it...idina was more gleeful around laura bell this time, (and i had seen her with kristen in the show before the neckbrace slap heard round the world...they seemed giddy but not quite the same) anywhoo, there were a couple of mishaps today, but nothing that completely broke character like last time i saw when kristen hit her head when she threw back the wand I also thought that laura and norbert looked more comfortable together....but the show was excellent as always, and idina was incredible as always...i find it so hard to believe that they can all do this two times in one day!!!! anyways... yeah so it seemed like they were all having a genuinly good time onstage today and i was definitly not sad that it was laura instead of kristen (and im not a kristen hater)--AND in response to the other laura reviews that have said she was off esp. during harmonies, that was definitly not the case today...she couldnt sustain all her notes during no one mourns, but her harmoniesz were dead on, and she was so excellent during thank goodness...just my thoughts
happy st patty's day!!
always,
~m~

Well, I guess they won't be pinching eachother, but I guess it's for the best. I can't believe the neckbrace slap thing. How sad...

I DONT believe the neckbrace thing, period.

By the way, has anyone seen this week's stage notes? There are quite a few attacks on KC's attendance, and references to Idina's perfect record:

"Up-and-coming standby Eden Espinosa was apparently warned she might have to get green as Menzel sat stranded in an airport in Toronto, where she was visiting Diggs on location for the heist film 11-99. In the end, Menzel's plane landed in New York and the trooper went on with the show. And Chenoweth? Out sick."

i just read that at broadway.com. i dont know when tony voters start showing up, or if they already have been, but i dont see how this cant effect the chances. idina is showing so much dedication, and whether or not her absences have merit, it is a poor reflection on kristen.

plus, i mean, even if you go to see kristen, you stay to watch idina, kristen might be an audience and critic fave, but its idina who stands out and stays fresh in your mind as you leave the theatre...she makes the show what it is, no matter how good kristen is (which i know is really good), idina is the star of the show (though obviously not the diva..just kidding..not really...ha ha...right...anyways...)

but at least kristen's standby is good!

I am glad Laura Bell is good in the role!

yeah, my dad was a little weary because he thought she played it the exact same way she played amber in hairspray, but she definitly surpassed my expectations!

For Idina, every day is St Patrick's day

This is an honest question, because I actually don't know-

How much does attendance affect Tony chances?

[CATSNYrevival]

Posted: 3/17/04 at 7:33pm

I can't see why attendance would be a huge factor, but it could be. I have no idea, either....

Laura will be taking Kristin's place from May 3-9 while KC is doing Candide.

Posted: 3/17/04 at 7:58pm

Kristin is doing an opera in May. I think she'll be out of Wicked the 3rd to the 9th because of it.
