Am I the only one who's not the biggest Kristin Chenoweth fan? I kinda think she's a bit "musically". That's not a good description but I can't think of another way to put it.
Her voice used to drive me mad when I first got the soundtrack but I'm kinda immune to it now. She is kinda nasal and squeaky and I can't describe it... But she's a great actress really (she used to be in The West Wing and I loved her in that!) and I think Glinda needs to be more of an actress than Elphaba.
Then again I haven't actually seen the musical live! So what do I know!

Yeah I heard about that about 2 years ago. I'd love to see that. God knows what it'd be like though.
What I'd be worried about would be the likes of what they did with Moulin Rouge and stuff sacrificing the vocals for the big stars.0 -
Just wondering for those who have seen wicked in london, have any of you waited in line for tickets in the morning to get front row seats as im aware they keep something like 25 seats free?
id love to try do it sometime! just wondering what time would you have to get there at etc
Yeah, they keep the entire front row free! And it costs like 25 pounds or so - much cheaper than the 70 odd my sister spent on me the second time I saw it!
I was there (at the door) at 10 (when they opened) on a Monday, and it was a pretty big queue. I only got a front row seat because I was on my own (that sounds pretty bad, but it was totally worth it
). I'd say if I'd been there around 9 i'd have gotten one in the middle...
The front row seats are AMAZING! I could see every expression, I could see the outfits in detail and the sound was just... wow. I saw it again (with two 8-year olds and two 6 year olds, which may have been the problem) and it wasn't half as good, despite the seats being 'prime seats'. It's so much more arresting when you're close up.
Also, when I was there the first time, there were two girls who had slept outside the theatre for the five preceeding nights to get front row seats... talk about dedication...
As for the show itself: pure musical heaven. I knew every word off by heart, but the actual action of the musical is so gripping. I loved it! Popular, What is this Feeling and Defying Gravity were excellent though No Good Deed (while still sounding excellent) was a little... slow... onstage. But no matter. I loved it. Also Fiyero is very sweet. I saw Alexia (is that her name?) play Elphaba - she was astounding. And I quite like their Glinda - great comic timing. I don't think Nessarose can be good - her part is so disgusting... I have to say though, the first time (on the Monday, front row) was definitely, without a doubt, better than the second time!
whew... that was quite a lot...0 -
