Katie Rowley Jones is brilliant! I saw her as Belle in the BatB national tour and I think she'll make a great Nessarose

Elinor Collett (u/s Fantine, u/s and replacement Anne Catherick) is also going to be a swing and cover Glinda. I can't see how that's going to play itself out, but I'd love to see it!

Less than a week till the first preview and I've managed to blag a free ticket. This ought to be fun - I'll be sure to come back with any thoughts if anyone would be interested.
My first time seeing a first preview too, so that in itself should be fun!

Right... let's see how tonight is. I'm just about to head out from work to the first preview of Wicked. Despite the fact I've seen it before with Idina (Kristin and Taye), I'm still quite excited about tonight. I'll be sure to report back later And vampbear, I'm with you on wanting to see Annalene as Glinda! (And Elinor too... *sigh* I'm gonna spend so much money trying to see all the covers. Oh, well... such is life )

idina wasn't feeling well during the show yesterday and Kerry Ellis went on for the 2nd act as amazing as would be expected acording to people there, and she looks sexy in green (states the obvious ) it's fairly likely Kerry will be on for idina tonight *correction, kerry went on after one short day*

kerry has performed the role of elphie several times now, there is a couple of "WICKED" (forgive the pun) audios on youtube (search Kerry Ellis) of kerry doing DG and NGD, she is the best elphie i have ever heard, cant wait to see her live, she takes over the role officially on Jan 1st 2007

she is the best elphie i have ever heard, cant wait to see her live, she takes over the role officially on Jan 1st 2007 Not at the moment she isn't. Apparently she was awesome on 1st January, and then missed 3 shows (I saw Cassidy as Elphaba at the evening performance on 3rd January along with Andy Mace as the Wizard.) Kerry's actually the only one I've not seen out of the Elphabas that have been on. I've seen Cassidy twice, Shona twice, Idina once... and to be honest, as much as I love Kerry when she's "on", I wouldn't want to take the risk of going to see if just for her, as from what I've heard of her, when she's bad she's *bad*. The pressure must be immense for her to deliver though, as the show's sold on her name. As soon as she started feeling really sick they should have just given her a few weeks off and promoted Cassidy or brought someone else in to give her a chance to recover as she's not giving her best performance to the audience, and risks ruining her voice. Oh, and Andy's awesome as the Wizard, Annalene's amazing, and once you get past Oliver Tompsett's chin he's a great Fiyero!
