<p>Has anyone ever mourned the wicked?</p>
<p>I met the Wicked ;) Met Idina Menzel when she was performing in London. Flew half way around the world just to see her haha. Stunning, down-to-earth, and charming. And I think she still has my pen lol</p>
<p>And I met the assist. stage manager for Wicked on Broadway, and I want to be a stage manager... so score! XD</p>
<p>ETA: And! When I went to NY this summer, won the lottery for tickets, so I got front row seats for 17.50 each I think. Not a shabby deal. ;) Love this show to death</p>
<p>Yes! I saw the OBC like 5 yrs ago before it was even an uber-popular craze of a show. I wore a T-Shirt to school and everybody was like..."*** is Wicked?"</p>
<p>So yeah, I looooved the show until I read the book, then I just liked it (because the book was one of the most incredible things I ever read), and then I saw the OBC of Spring Awakening and now Wicked is just...meh...in comparison. At least without Idina it is. I don't think the show is the same without her, you know?</p>
<p>i love Idina, but i'm also all about Kristen Chenoweth.</p>
<p>I missed the OBC of Spring Awakening by A MONTH! I was so mad, but I still thought it was incredible.</p>
<p>I have seen this musical 4 times and it is my absolute FAVORITE!!! Idina is, in my opinion, still the best Elphaba, but the best Glinda I saw was in Chicago (unfortunately, I can't remember her name!) I must say, all my friends think I am obsessed, and I really am.</p>
<p>Book >> musical.
Sorry. :P</p>
<p>Absolutely, lookbeyond.</p>
<p>amen.</p>
<p>but i haven't seen the musical yet, even though i'm like not far at all. just every time my friends and i plan to see it, something goes wrong or we can't find a date. we are planning on going in the spring though. we already got tickets with a group from school. soo excited! i already know the soundtrack by heart.</p>
<p>btw. <3 kristen chenoweth, amazing distinctive voice. idina menzel is amazing too, but i only really know her in the context of rent, but my best friend is completely obsessed, she drove 4 hours a couple months ago to see her in concert, and then stayed for an hour out in the cold after a concert two weeks ago to meet her.</p>
