Just wanted to let you guys know... talked to Saycon online for a few minutes, and she told me she is going on all weekend for Eden, both shows tomorrow and the show on Sunday. This was a pre-planned absence that she's known about for weeks... she said Eden has a prior engagement and is traveling somewhere... so for those of you who are going this weekend, you get the chance to see the great Saycon!

Btw, she said she didn't get to warm up at all when she went on mid-show for Shoshana at the Saturday mat, so I'm guessing if she didn't sound up to par that's why...

Oh goodness. Thanks for the heads-up! I wonder where Eden's off to?

I love Saycon! I've heard a few clips of her, and she sings "Defying Gravity" very well. Does anybody know if she'll ever get to take over the role of Elphie permanently? (i just butchered that word, but w/e)
~ADAM~~

If she does, and if Ben Vereen stays, then it'll be the first time in Wicked history that three African-Americans will play the lead roles... which is all the more reason for her to take over!

OH OH OH, but this is happening this weekend... so someone should... ::cough cough:: oh, I'm sick... I have a fever... ::major hints, people!::

I'm still very curious about Eden: whither Eden Espinosa?

Well, as Elphie she won't be African American. She gets to be a GREEN OZIAN. hahaha wouldnt that be so cool if people were actually born green?? and blue? and red? and pink? wow imagine picking out clothes!

how have i managed to get so far off topic...?

Anyway do have any clips of her singing? i want to hear!!

That's true, that's true, but MAN--history, people!

that sux... her first weekend and shes out... lol

I wish I could see Saycon. How do you say her name anyway?? Say-con?

That's how I say it, and Seng-BLOW.

?

she's pretty good. are you dissing her? :?

I know her first named is indeed prounounced Say-con, but I pronounce her last name Seng-blah.

there are clips of her singing on youtube.com i typed in Idina Menzel and a clip for her also came up.

Same here.

LOL, I wasn't dissing her, I was just saying it wrong.

Is that how she says it?

Anyway, she's great! I like her very much. I'm excited to hear she's going on!

Oh, and someone on Bwayworld gave us the heads up: Megan's going to be out so Katie Adams is going on!!!!

I have clips of Saycon and Eden singing, well not together (duh) lol. But if you want them, PM me. Saycon is good, but her voice has this sratchy quility to it.

Saycon...my first Elphaba...

:humpy:

Yay for Katie! My boyfriend saw her instead of Kendra in Houston, and he said she's amazing.
