Just a warning, I ramble on a lot, so read on at your own risk.
I have seen Wicked twice, to the matinee on the 1st of October 08 and the matinee on the 4th of January 09. The first time I went was as an early birthday present, and it was amazing! I didn't get to stage door, but now that I look back, I doubt I would have been able to get any photos or autographs anyway. (Long story short, Rob Guest (he was the Wizard here in Aus) was in hospital that day, and the cast only found out after the matinee.) The 2nd time I went was because we won the lottery, and we were sitting front row almost exactly in the midle (seats 26&27) and were sitting next to Rodney Dobson's (Doctor Dillamond) daughter and she was gorgeous, she couldn't stop laughing when he came out as the goat.
We went to the stage door, got photos with Lucy Durack (Glinda), Jemma Stevenson (Elphaba standby who was on that night), Rodney Dobson (doctor dillamond), Penny McNamee (Nessarose) and Kellie Dickerson (musical director and partner of the late Rob Guest). My sis had drawn pictures of Lucy, Jemma and Penny so she gave them to them and they all loved them. For those who may not know, Jemma has a 'freaky hairline' (her words, not mine) (pic here) so she was delighted my sis drew it and didnt make her hair look normal
Hope I haven't bored you all to death yet
Anyway, enough about Wicked (but I will probably end up mentioning it again soon
)I play netball and tennis, I have a dog called Toby and I like a lot of different styles of music but hate techno. I live in a semi country town in Victoria. I love animals and am currently reading Son Of a Witch. I like many different types of movies but hate horror. I am a fan of Idina Menzel and Shoshana Bean, I have both their albums (and will probably get Julia Murney's soon too...
)According to my friends, I am too obsessed with Wicked. I could probably answer anything to do with the australian cast of Wicked, which is probably a very pathetic thing.
My favourite Elphaba I have seen live is Amanda Harrison, and i have only seen 1 Glinda, so obviously Lucy Durack is my favourite, but out of all the Elphabas and Glindas I haven't seen live, my favourite Elphie is SJB, and I have two favourite Glindas, Megan Hilty and Helen Dallimore.
I live off of youtube. I watch way too many videos (mainly to do with Wicked). I have been watching lots of We Will Rock You (original London cast) videos lately, mainly because Amanda Harrison (Australia Elphaba) was in the ensemble (A Teen Queen (Purple one in Somebody to Love) and Madonna.), but also because I absolutely adore Kerry Ellis' voice
.See, told you I ramble alot and never stay on topic!
Congratulations if you read this far, you are not easily bored!
Anyway, that was a little bit about me
