Anyone know if Wicked is doing any Halloween specials on TV like they did last year with Sho. Bean?

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend Eden Espinosa's final performance in Wicked. I saw Eden for the first time in July, and I was absolutely blown away. Yesterday surpassed that. It was just absolutely incredible. Defying Gravity was hands down the best Defying Gravity I have EVER heard from ANY Elphaba. It was amazing.
I have curtain call and stagedoor pictures, a full review (contains spoilers) and my stagedoor story up on my journal for those who are interested. :D

( Follow the fake cut! )

Current Mood: indescribable

I saw "Wicked" in London on September 25th, and Idina Menzel...was INCREDIBLE!
It was a little odd for me to see it with an all-British cast, as I had previously seen the national US production twice, but it was still so much fun! Of course people were so excited to see Idina on stage as Elphaba once again- and she was greeted with extremely enthusiastic applause. Everyone loved her! Boq and Nessarose were both very good in this production, though underwritten.
Not too many complaints from me....
We got to see Idina! Amazing!

I saw Megan Hilty and Shoshana Bean as Glinda and Elphaba on tour in Seattle a couple of weeks ago and wasnt really impressed. I saw the tour twice in San Francisco and liked Eden/Kendra and Eden/Emily way more. I think I was just expecting too much from Megan and Sho OR they were having an off night. I don't know, what do you think?

Maria Eberline played Nessa and she was awesome.

That was my great review.

Hi I'm new. I've been a fan for some months now. Read the first book and have started on the Son of the Witch. I saw the musical last Weds and loved every minute of it! To celebrate it coming to London with Idina I've made 25 Wicked icons which are available in my journal. :)

Previews:

Hi all! Well I have 10 Wicked icons of Idina in London. It's one of my favorite Wicked pictures; so powerful. Enjoy these guys, I had fun with these. School's taking over my life my last year of high school, and I barely have time to do what I am. So just please understand I won't be posting a lot during the Autumn season.

Torn And Burned Inside

Is anyone planning on going to Julia's last show? I would give anything to be able to see it. Alas. :( Is Kendra's last show on the same date?

I wish I could see Kendra's last show. She was just... amazing, and hopefully on her last show she might get the freaky screaming applause I think she deserves when she enters. (I saw the tour 4 times in Detroit, and the only time anyone other than me cheered/clapped at her entrance was on opening night. At least I was close enough so ... maybe she heard... and was like... 'Wow that person is sad. lol.')

so, i got back from new york on thursday! the trip was so amazing (i've never been there before). --details later =)--

-my wicked review-

we get to gershwin about an hour before the matinee performance starts, and the first place we go is the ozdust boutique on the main level. i looked around at the people there and designs on the walls, and i came across the board that says who was filling in for whomever...and then i saw that saycon was filling in for eden. i was really upset about that. i was dying to see eden because i heard that she was amazing. i tried to keep it positive, and i hoped that maybe she too would be amazing. (boy, was i wrong). tiffany haas filled in for the midwife, and kathy santen would be filling in for morrible.

the show...

NOMOT: Beautiful opener. Kate had a nice soprano, but seemed kinda quiet about it. she had the potential of blowing everyone away, but she seemed like she was holding back. Nothing really special happened in the song...one thing i was upset about was no one clapped for kate when she came out but me. i felt like a dork, but whatever =)
DOS: huge applause for saycon when she entered. i noticed that kate help out her 'ooh's' for a long time. i liked it...it added to the song.
TWAI: if only morrible sang... saycon slengbloh...more like sleng-barf. i usually love this song, but it really didn't do much for me. kristy cates (in chicago) blew me away when i saw her back in april.
WITF: Kate was a hilarious glinda. so cute. i loved the part on 'every little trait however small' when she pulled out her makeup and put it on...then saycon mocked it. that was cute.
SB: dramatic. i love it when it is completly silent after we see the 'animals should be seen and not heard'
DTL: derrick was so much better than i expected. if chocolate could sing, it would sound like derrick. i also love the dialouge between kate and robb. too sweet.
P: kate nailed galinda. so funny.
INTG: boring... i love the song itself, but when you have a singer like miss sleng-barf...uggh.
OSD: It needed more energy.
SM: aww, david had a lisp. i thought it was cute =)
DG: okay, i have to admit that i can't listen to this song without crying. i did bawl this time (like in chicago)...but i wasnt until the last note. i cant evern listen to it on the cd...

ACT II

TG: nothing too special...i wish morrible sang insted of just talking through everything.
WWOTE: jenna blew me away. wow. it wasnt until this song until i realized how under-written boq and nessa are.
W: david has a rather different approch to the wizard...at least i think so...
IMTGR: go kate! i loved the last note...sooo pretty.
ALAYM: the chocolate voice is back =)...sleng-barf actually sounded good in this song. their voices blanded well. i didnt see much chemistry though...shame.
NGD: saycon...you need to be more evil in this song. she had the same arm ending as in TWAI...weird.
MOTWH: robb is a cute tinman. =) lol.
FG: no real connection between the two of them...it could've been amazing...
F: such a sad ending...but it works for the show. poor glinda.

all in all- i think chicago for me was more magical...i dont know why...
i think it would have been better if eden was elphie...but i couldnt really have done anything to change that. i mean, it was a matinee.

i did go to the stage door...but no one really came out. some of the chorus people did...but i didnt know who they were. robb sapp came out, but he practiclly ran down the street. he didnt stop to sign anything for anyone. oh well.

i also saw the drowsy chaperone and the wedding singer!!! i did do the stage door for the wedding singer, and came out with autographs from most of the leads!! (oh, we also sat in the front row!) if anyone wants to see pics or have a more detailed desription of nyc, wicked, or the other two shows, dont be afraid to ask!

Current Music: move that thang- the wedding singer

Update in forgood_comic if interested! I'm going to probably stop announcing it every week so friend it if you'd like so that you never miss an episode! Woo!

Also, I love suggestions for new comics and while the entire idea might not be used, plot bunnies are always welcome so feel free to email me with suggestions at : no.squashed.nessa@gmail.com ♥

Keep defying gravity!
