Standbys don't get enough love and although Lisa hasn't been with the show for long, she is an awesome talented Elphaba and a sweetheart! I think she deserves some love! I love Lisa!

Lisa's amazing both as a performer and a person. I'm really excited to see her as Elphaba. I'm most likely going to get to see her in the role in July! I'm super excited!

why are you going to see her. I thought Julia will be there till october with her vacation in August.

I saw lisa, I was gutted Julia wasnt on, especially the distance I traveled, but I wasnt disapointed.

I typed it wrong in the other thread. Julia is going away the first week of JULY not August (my mistake, I'm sick and very tired sorry!). I'm a huge fan of Lisa and want to see her in the role!

LISA is AMAZIFYING. I saw her 2nd performance as Elphie, and through my haze of OMFGIcan'tbelieveKendraANDJuliaareout (even though I got to see them the day after), I was like BF KIEOHNFBEBGFNEGIEFEIGEG by the end of the first act. I SDed after, and she is one of the nicest people I have met.

Julia is going away the first week of July?? :cry: Do you know the exact date becasue I am going July 5th... do you know if she will be there then!!? I mean I am sure that Lisa is great but I was really looking forward to seeing Julia!

Actually Julia is gone that day. I'm sorry! I'm going the 6th! You might be seeing Caissie Levy (the understudy) - Lisa told me that she and Caissie would both be performing that week. I'll know in June exactly what days Lisa will be going on.

I wish I could see Lisa as Elphaba. She is truly a wonderful prefomer. I saw her as Amneris in "Aida" at the Muny last summer and she blew me away.

So you mean that Lisa might not even be on!? What about Kendra? Any ideas? Oh do you know when Julia gets back from vacation? haha thanks for all the info!
Oh by the way sorry this is so off topic...

I'm pretty sure Kendra should be there. I don't know when Julia get backs - I'm sorry. I can ask Lisa if you'd like!

Wow thank you! that would be great!! Thanks for the help!

Just wondering, does anyone know how many times Lisa has been on?

Who was on for Kendra?

how come she's not listed as a standby in the playbill.. lol i am looking for her name and all i see listed is the standby for glinda (Alli Mauzey)... i want to send her fanmail same address right to the Gerswhin Theater?

They haven't updated Lisa yet

^nevermind she is listed on the understudies and standbys section but she doesn't have a biography
so just now i listened to her version of defying gravity on youtube... i want to hear her live so i will be doing lottery alll of the week julia isn't there but Lisa at one point sound exactly like idina.. scary

yes i really want to see Lisa, from what i've heard she is good...

Is anyone going to get to see Lisa in July? Hopefully she will get plenty of fans after that week!

i saw lisa and she was AMAZINGGGGG

I am! I'm so excited! My mom got me tickets as an early birthday present! I'll either be seeing her or Caissie, I'm dying to see Lisa though!

[/quote]I am! I'm so excited! My mom got me tickets as an early birthday present! I'll either be seeing her or Caissie, but Lisa was going to try and see if she could request to be on the day I am going!

wait..so is julia like leaving in july and lisa taking over?

No, I wish, but no. Lisa and Cassie will be filling in for Julia while Julia is on vacation

AWESOME!!!!!!! haha. and im surprised i didnt hear this from a certain someone. lol. ill have to go see when caissies on

Everyone go see Lisa when Julia is on vacation in July! I'm excited for her and she's awesome so everyone go see her!!!

I *heard* Caissie won't be doing any of the performances. Not for sure though.

I will be!!! I am quiet excited!! Well from what I heard Lisa will be on the whole time Julia is away and not Caissie.

Oooh. I'm going too! What day are you going?

Thurday matinee! What about you?

Friday - we missed each other by one day!

Aww haha!! Well I hope you have lots of fun! As I am sure you will!!

i asked a friend of caissie's if she was going to be on during her vacation, no word yet tho, if i hear anything, ill come right here!

Anybody know why Lisa's picture and bio are not up on the Wicked web site?

because the Wicked site is sooooo slow with changes

Doesn't Lisa start tomorrow?

I thought she was starting sunday? and Caissie was going on monday and tuesday?

She starts tomorrow.

GO LISA! She is going to rock the gershwin!~ Anyone who sees her has to review lol

Of course!!! I will!!

I'm very excited! I'm seeing the show and Lisa in a week! I'm super excited to see her as Elphie.

So Lisa got a head start last night since Julia was off. She was fabulous, as she was on Sunday, and I can't wait to see her again in a week.

Are you seeing the show on the 6th?

The 8th. "A week" was more general-span-of-time than exactly-7-days ;-)

I was just wondering, cuz' I'm seeing it on the 6th.

^^ I'm seeing it on the 5th!

I saw Wicked today at 2 and Lisa was on. She was amazing! And, I did the lottery just on the spur of the moment and I won! Front row seats are amazing!

Hey guys! I just made a Lisa Brescia facebook group so if you are a member of facebook please join. Just search for Lisa Brescia and it should come up "Lisa Brescia Fans" I know how original lol. But please join and support Lisa!

Oh, wonderful; I just joined. Too bad we don't have any pictures of her as Elphaba to add. But I really love the headshot you chose for the profile picture.

Well I've added the Easter Bonnett pics but that's all I got lol
