I don't know if you guys have had a chance to check out shoshanabeanonline.com yet, but if your a fan of Shos's definitley do...it's a great fan site.

Anyway, Shoshana sends in journals to the site, and she sent in a really sweet one today about leaving the show...

Wowowowowowowowowoowow WOW! What a whirlwind weekend! Or year, for that matter!
You guys it has been amazing and hard and frustrating and joyous and inspiring and educational and satisfying and fulfilling and fun and intense. . . . Its been a huge blessing. And I have to say the best part of it all was meeting, getting to know, hearing from and having some sort of an effect on all of you. The fans! And u have all had an effect on me in return (even your ass, captain crunch)
Your letters, your gifts, your words, hugs, tears, smiles, handshakes, pictures. . . . They are all precious to me, and none of the rest of the WICKED experience would mean as much without you all in the picture. Thank u for trusting me with the role, your elphie. Thank u for supporting me and loving me despite alllllllll my many mistakes and imperfections.
I am blessed and fortunate and so full.
Stick with me, I hope you will still love me when I'm not green, we got some good stuff comin up kids! I look forward to sharing it all with u!
I love u madly, happy new year!!!!
And thank u, from the bottom of my heart, thank u.

Awww... I love when performers really appreciate their fans, it's really sweet...Once again, courtesy www.shoshanabeanonline.com

That is SO SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

... but: ass? Captain Crunch? WTF?

That made me tear up... :cry:

Sho is amazing! I really wish I got to see her live. It nice to meet her at the stage door.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Sho rocks!

I believe that has to do with the chat she did once... I have the transcript for it. Captain Crunch was one of the people on the chat

Aww, that's so nice.

that is so nice! i love sho! i sent her green cookies that she got on Jan. 4, i wonder if she likes them...

I love Sho!! :rock: :heart: :heart:

that was nice of her.

Shoshana has been on this cast for over 2 years. She has had time to develope Elphaba and really grow. I am really sad she is leaving. She had improved more than anyone. She has really developed her riffs. She has gotten tired of doing 8 shows a week...heck...who wouldn't? But she is still really nice and she was nicw when I met her at the stage door. It still makes me very sad that I never got to see her, but at least I got to meet her. She is gonna make it HUGE! I hope everyone supports her with her pop album. I love you SHO! I will never forget you! :drool: :bow: :mrgreen: :rock:

Uh... yeah... Captian... you don't want to know...

Yah, I was in the chat. It was, er, very interesting...

YAY!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! I CANT WAIT TILL SHE DOES HER NEXT SHOW

i think she said she's done with broadway. she's moving to a pop career. which will be good for her. thinking about....i really miss her. i was REALLY lucky to see her in august. if you're reading this sho....I LOVE YOU! :mrgreen: :heart:

omg i am goin to cry lol

*Huggles* :mrgreen:

Don't forget... chuck... WE LOVE YOU SHOSHANA!!!!

Awww I feel the love. She loves her fans and we love her. To bad I never met her or saw her live. I live 3,000 miles away is why. *sigh* Oh well.

I'm going to miss that girl so much!!

I LOVE SHOSHANA BEAN.

and that journal entry makes me cry everytime I read it.

can you post or PM me the transcript plz

that is really nice. i hope she does well with her album.

I feel so fortunate to have gotten to see Sho live...and just a few weeks before she left, too! She was an amazing Elphie and I will always be grateful that she made Elphie live for me, and that she was part of the first Broadway show I ever saw!

This is depressing me more and more. I've said goodbye to two Elphabas: Idina and now Shoshana. As excited as I am for the future, I really HATE to see them leave. When Steph leaves it'll be the last straw. I'll lock myself in my closet and cry!

Yeah...it is deprsssing! This whole Sho leaving made me sad!

She actually knows "Captain Crunch" [has met her since the chat took place, anyway] so it's not just some random shoutout, haha.

What exactly is this whole captian crunch thing?

In the chat shoshanabeanonline.com hosted awhile ago, someone with the username "CaptainCrunchMyBalls" came in & was saying all sort of sexual things to Shoshana [as was the guy with the username "chuck"...but he was being GRAPHIC], and Shoshana was actually responding back to her.

Like, at one point, CaptainCrunch said something like SHOSHANA DO YOU WANT ME TO RUB YOU IN OIL? And Shoshana was like "sure, capt, i love massages". Things like that. She seemed really cool with the whole thing, even though the entire chat was out of CONTROL.

That's really sweet. I love sites like this that bring information on all the actors to one spot. She seems like a really great actor/singer/person and I am definitely wanting to keep up on her in the future!

Yeah, I think it's really sweet she took the time to write that and actually write in that website's journal thing. It's also cool to know that that is really SHoshana. THere are so many fake Myspaces and stuff that bother the crap out of me and it's cool to know that I'm actually reading stuff written by the person.
~ADAM~

OMFG that's freaking hilarious! Shoshana is officially the COOLEST PERSON because of the way she handled that. A lesser person (or a person without a sense of humor) would've ripped CaptainCrunch a new one.

But apparently someone on UL said that Shoshana actually knew CaptainCrunch, soo... it's a little different. Still, that's hilaaaaaaarious!

Yeah, she does know CaptainCrunch.

ok.....ever so sickening.....kids? omg thats almost like mariah carey calling her fans lambs......meh..... :ha:

So I suppose that would make it a bit easier for her to handle his comments... but that's still just too funny! And Sho's entry was so sweet! 'Love her when she's not green' — of course people will! :mrgreen:


Does she really do that?

yeah she does....

awwwww Shoshana is so sweet.

awwww, sho. I will miss her...

and the script thing... creepy....

though, i've been wanting to read the script for a long time, could someone PM me the script, please? thanxs!

HEY, talk about a delayed reaction: I JUST caught that you said this! You crazy thing. Of course Jack's quote couldn't relate to ME, because I've never been in a metaphorical closet--real closets on the other hand... that's another story altogether. Let's just say that being small makes for some very uncomfortable situations. It seems like I can't pass a closet without being locked in it by one of my crazymischievous friends!

So yeah... um... I miss Sho? I just reread the transcript. I am LOVING the oil quote!

does anyone still have that chat transcript from Sho's online chat? i'd love to see it...
