HOPE YOU HAD FUN AT WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life's more painless for the brainless...
Life is fraught less when your thoughtless...
Nothing matters when knowing nothing matters...
Woes are fleeting, blows are glancing, when your dancing through life!

Hello, fellow Wickedians. :)

This webpage http://www.angelfire.com/musicals/wicked/news.html has some great 'Wicked" links. They all don't work, but the ones that do are wonderful.

I took the funquiz and got 15/15, and I haven't seen the show. (I might have gotten the last answer wrong, but our own braodwaybaby earlier gave me the scoop about the ending of the show.)

And the pictures of the cast signing the CD were nice.
(Kristin Chenoweth (Glinda) was not present.)

Enjoy.

EDIT: A link to an article with pictures of the two leading ladies, at that makeup event that our own braodwaybaby attended.http://www.broadway.com/template_3.asp?CT=26&CI=38868&AP=4&NA=F

Some things I've read online.

Besides a television appearance on the June 6 Tony Awards,
'Wicked" will also perfom a number on June 12 on the NBC morning program "Today".

[Back in November, Idina and Kristen appeared on the "Today" show and performed "Popular". They were outside, so I expect June 13th to be an outside performance also. Which song will they do? We don't know.]

*

June 17 until July 2
Idina (Elphaba) will not be performing. (I read she was going to be in a movie and would miss an amount of 'Wicked performances. Maybe this is it?)
Understudy Eden Espinosa will have the role of the Wicked Witch.
Eden has performed the role when Idina has been ill (once that I know of) and at the Broadway Festival with "Glinda understudy" Laura Bell Bundy.

You can hear Eden Espinosa, from when she was a Disneyland performer here. http://www.laughingplace.com/News-PID505020-505022.asp
(Must have RealPlayer]

Yes, Idina will be busy making a movie with Colin Farrel, then she returns July 2 to "Wicked"

*

Kristin Chenoweth (Glinda)'s contract is coming to a close.

EDIT: Beginning July 20, Jennifer Laura Thompson will be Glinda.

http://www.playbill.com/news/article/86750.html

[When this post was originally typed, Laura Bell Bundy (current understudy for Glinda had been announced to be the new Glinda as of July 20th.
The PLAYBILL article which stated this was taken down, after being up only two days (or maybe less!) Seems that THAT announcement was a bit pre-mature.]

*

July 29 in Bryant Park.
"Broadway in Bryant Park" will feature 'Wicked"

(Every Thursday of the summer is "Broadway in Bryant Park", featuring highlights of current and upcoming broadway shows http://www.bryantpark.org/calendar/broadway.php
July 29 for "Wicked"

*

January 5 ?, 2005

Idina Menzel (Elphaba) and Joel Grey (The Wizard) have renewed their contracts until the above date. (I think it was January 5th. My fuzzy memory knows it was early January 2005.)
