Probably the most horrifying news since the Stuttgart production opened: our cast member Juliana de Aquino died in the Air France 447 plane crash. My thoughts are with her family and friends and of course everyone else who has lost a family memeber or a precious friend. It's such a tragic accident...

Oh, my! My thoughts go out to all the cast and her friends and family.

This is one of those times where there is nothing to say. The plane crash was just terrible all around.

EDIT:

Here is a page on her. http://julianadeaquino.jimdo.com/juliana-de-aquino/

I think she was a Morrible and Elphaba understudy.

No, she had no understudy part in Stuttgart. She could be seen as one of Glinda's friends though.

Edit: I just noticed she was a Morrible understudy. Sorry, my mistake!

She actually was u/s Morrible and went on quite a bit in early May, while Barbara Raunegger was out.

This is just terrible, though, my thoughts are with her friends and family

My thoughts and prayers are also with her family. This is so sad.

Oh my My thoughts are also with her friends, family and the cast

There are just no words. My thoughts are with her family and the company at this terrible time.

Juliana was my madame morrible when i saw the stuttgart production in April.. This is extremely bad news. Thoughts and prayers out to her family and fellow cast members...

It's so sad to hear this. My heartfelt sympathy to her family, friends and fellows.

How awful, and it must be so difficult for the cast to have to keep performing under the circumstances. Thinking of them.

This is terrible, my thoughts go out to her family and friends

Oh my goodness, my heart goes out to her family and friends, as well as the Wicked Germany cast and crew. That's so horrible and sad.

My thoughts and prayers with her family, friends, and the cast.

That's so tragic. My heart goes out to her loved ones.

Can anyone provide any proof that this is true? Thanks....

I heard about it this morning, I'm so sorry for Juliana's family. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Oh my Oz that is horrible all my prayers and thoughts for her family and the rest of the families who had a family member lost in this tragedy

all my love to her fam and cast.

Was she an Elphaba understudy?

This is terrible My thoughts are with her family, friends and castmembers. It must be a terrible time for all of them.

There has been articles on the internet (I found them through google and then had to translate them, but there is some about her being in the crash. )

That is terrible, horrible news. My heart go out to her family and the WICKED company in Stuttgart.

My thoughts go out to the family and fellow cast members..

It looks like she was not but she played Elphaba at a concert.

From her site

Thanks for the info. Such a tragedy.

This is terrible. My heart goes out to the cast and her family.

Willemijn confirmed it on her site, she's devasted as everyone in the cast =(
Willemijn's blog (in german, of course)

This is terrible, sending love and thoughts to her family, friends and the Wicked cast and crew over there!

So very sad.

Siel, any chance you can translate it?

I can try, but you know I don't trust my German completely =S
But it's about how shocked and sad they are, that their hearts are with Juliana's family and friend. Then she says some nice words about her and that she will never forget Juliana's laugh =(

Aw Willemijn is so sweet.
My thoughts are definately with all affected by this crash.

This is so horrible...my heart goes out to her family and friends. So devastating.

Just saw a news story about it on the local fox news. They mentioned Juliana de Aquino being in Wicked. So tragic. My thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family.

I'm not Siel but I just translated it elsewhere:

Today is an unbelievably sad day. Our Juliana was on board the Air France flight which went down in the Atlantic on Sunday night.

I can't grasp it and we all in the cast are completely shocked. We wish her family and friends lots of strength and we are thinking of you.

Juliana was an unbelievably talented, eager to learn (?) woman with lots of humour and energy. I will never forget your laughter.

Dear Juliana, we will all miss you.


My heart goes out to the cast, and of course to her friends and family.

Someone I know is playing in the ensemble. His Facebook statuses are so sad. How he will miss her and how empty he feels..

My thoughts are with everyone who have lost a loved one in this crash.

Don't quote me.. but intelligent?

"Juliana was an unbelievably talented, a studious woman with lots of humour and energy."

It seems I was wrong predicting that Dec 7 will be the official announcement of the Oberhausen cast. It is however the date when a benefit concert in Juliana's honour will be held in the Palladium Theatre.
