I know it's way too early for this, but what the heck lol. Plus, you might be able to find useful info in here before the show opens about mail and stuff...

FAQ
Address (thanks to witchy woman):
Palladium Theater
Plieninger Str. 109
70567 Stuttgart
Germany

^ I know that the German Elphaba performed a lot in Europe, so we will not need babel fish!

We need to find the loaction of the theatre .

Palladium Theater
Plieninger Str. 109
70567 Stuttgart
Germany

I guess we'll have to write in German. :ha:

^ The Elphaba speaks English. She did a lot of shows in England.

I think most of the cast can speak English.

I think so, too! :roll: Almost everybody in Germany speaks at least a little English, especially the younger people. So don't be afraid to visit!!! :mrgreen:

Hi, if I send Willemijn and Lucy mail (I'm from Illinois) do I have to have certain stamps? And do they even do fanmail? Sorry for all the questions...thanks in advance!

you either need german stamps or an international reply coupon
the theatre usually prints autograph cards for the leads (pictures in the size of a post card) but they aren't ready yet so unless you send them something to sign I guess Lucy and Willemijn wait with their reply till they receive the cards...

alright..I *think* I know what you're talking about picture wise...thanks!!

I just go and Automated Message from Willemijn's site:

"Hello! Thanks for your mail! Of course I read them and I'll try to answer every mail but unfortunately I'm not always able to. I would like it if you'll write me something in the guestbook.

For a signed photo please send a stamped envelope with your address to:

Palladium Theater
c/o Willemijn Verkaik/Autogrammkarte
Plieninger Straße 109
70567 Stuttgart
Deutschland"

I'm sending her fanmail tomorrow =)

...

Lucy mail

I had no clue Willemijn spoke English! She's a phenomanal Elphaba, and she should totally be Broadway's or West End's Elphaba! I'd love to hear her as our Elphaba in English! Also, sorry, im a dope, how do you pronounce her name?

Vill-eh-mine

Took me forever to figure out, and I take German

Just wanted to make sure:

German stamps.
SASE.
Ask for picture.
That's basically it?

I want to make doubly sure before I send something and really hope for a signed picture and get nothing back because I didnt send postage or soemthing.

Lucy Mail <3

[thankyou, Lucy ]

awesome mail!!! i think im gunna write them.... im from NY sooo my mom might not agree with it. lol

Would they understand it if we wrote the letter in English? Lol

i didnt think of that^..... i would assume they would be able to read it.

Totally, they are all fantastic at English.

Of course they speak English.

Everyone is learning English in Germany.

Surely they're speaking English, cause in Germany's Musical Theatres English is "official language", cause the casts are very international.

Are the pictures they send out 5 by 7's???

I think so, if not smaller.
I have no ruler


-SQUEALS-
My friend wrote for this for a surprise for me, and her letter was in English

I need to send Willemijn mail because I am in love with her, and her "Gutes Tun" pic is my absolute favorite!

Same here :3 I'm going to send her mail as well, asking for a different picture. Selfish? Nope. Obsessed with her? Jaaaaaa.

Can anybody give me tips on how to send food over? I want to give her a bunch of dried fruit from here, but I'm not sure if it'll even reach her. And I do want to make sure it reaches her.

This thread has been dead for awhile, so I figured I'd share my Willemijn mail As abovely stated by FixatedOnVerdigris I am the ammmmmazzzing friend ;] Anyway, here's the signed photo from Will.

Note: It's a bit small but eh, photobucket seemed to feel the need to resize it. Annnnnd the orange streamer to the right of the picture is from when all the Ozians pop out at the beginning of NOMTW :D

Great picture =)
I sent her mail in January and one my friends did it in December, but we haven't got anything yet, how long does she take usually??

How do I send out Willemijn mail? I know an international reply coupon is involved... how do I address the envelope, mail it out, etc?

Not really wicked related...but it is Lucy! Got this today =] My favorite autograph EVER!

^ Wow. She looks absolutely gorgeous in that pic!

How many IRC's should be included for a 6 by 9 flat envelope from the USA?

Ok, I answered my own question. I sent out mail to Willemijn and Lucy this morning so we'll see how long it takes for them to respond Im excited! International mail is cool

I sent Willemijn mail quite some time ago, somewhere in June, but never got anything back. Maybe she's busy with Aïda, maybe she didn't receive it at all. I just hope she did read it

They usually wait for letters to pile up or something to that extent, but they usually do answer.

Life is just that much more complete!

Recieved this in the mail today!!!! WILLEMIJN!!! Sent it on August 7th...20 days to get back to me Thats faster then most of the mail I send in the U.S.A. LOL




"Dear Jessica Ann
so sorry i wasnt on the day you saw the show! but thank you so much for your kind letter!
All the Best
LOVE Willemijn"

What a SWEETIE! And just when i thought i couldnt love her any more lol

I always thought she had the best hat.

Congrats on the autograph!


Speaking of missing Willemijn, I got paranoid and decided to return to stuttgart the week later *just in case*. She's got to be on one of those weekends

I'm actually trying to learn a little German before I go so I can understand Tanz and Wicked a little more. Sure, I know what they're on about in English but it's a different meaning in German all the same. Heck though, it's a painful process and the grammar is driving me nuts.

Aah I'm so jealous on your mail! Awesome.

I think my letter just vanished as soon as I sent it

German grammar IS painful. Although if you just want to listen, no need to learn all the der/die/den stuff, I think? I hate that part Good luck And I hope you have amazing Willemijn shows!

Does anyone have the Oberhausen address?

Metronom Theater
Musikweg 1
46047 Oberhausen

Thank you .

you're welcome!

When I wrote Willemijn via email, she said not to worry about stamps on the SASE, just to send a, well, I guess you could sat a SAE . Do you think that applies to the rest of the cast members? Roberta, specifically. She's the only other one I'd like to write.

My post office doesn't sell IRC's .

It won't hurt to try, will it? You can just add a sentence how you hope you'll get a reply even though you didn't send a SASE because you wanted to, but your post office doesn't sell IRCs. Just make sure to write the full term as I'm not sure she'd know what the acronym(s) stand for, I had to google it myself.

if anyone needs help with german feel free to pm me! (i am german)

Thanks!

I know Willemijn speaks English (I've emailed her a few times), does anyone know if Roberta does?

They all probably speak English to an extent, as my friend has told me that lives in Germany.
