Hello from England!
I'm Lisa and I'm new here! Glad I've finally found a forum where I can meet some new Wicked fans!
I'd best tell you my Wicked history, right?
Thanks to Glee, I first got the soundtrack to Wicked in December '09 and instantly fell in love with it! Then after much pestering, I convinced my Mum to get us tickets to see it in London. I luckily got to see the 2009-2010 Cast Change, (Alexia Khadime, Dianne Pilkington, Oliver Tompsett etc.) and can I just say it was one of THE best days of my life?
I'd previously sent a letter, drawing and card to both Alexia and Dianne, but I don't think they recieved in time, as I haven't had a reply, so was a bit gutted about that. I did get a signature from the new actor cast as Boq, George Ure. (He's very nice! ;D)
I've read the first Wicked book and looking to reading the second one and seeing Wicked again as soon as I can!
I know about most of the Broadway, San Fran, etc. etc. casts and my favourite character is probably Galinda, although I'm a little too much like Elphaba. I proudly ship Gelphie, Fiyeraba and some others and if I had to pick 3 favourite Elphabas/Galindas, they would probably be:
Elphie:
1. Alexia Khadime
2. Caissie Levy
3. Lisa Brescia
Galinda:
1. Dianne Pilkington
2. Katie Rose Clarke
3. Kendra Kassebaum
Although, they do tend to change ALOT, so many of them are incredible!
