Just got back from my 1st time seeing Wicked and i have so much to tell, where should i start? Ok first the facts: 1st time seeing wicked. Gershwin Theatre. 2 pm, Wed. November 9th. Ok now the actors and actresses:

Michelle Federer: Yay Michelle (my idol) was there. I was excited to finally see her live. Something was up with her voice today, don't know what but her voice was different. So I'd say B+ on the singing and A+ on the acting. In here first entrance after "Dear Old Shiz" her voice was really high pitched and weird. After she gets the shoes and when she says "Elphaba" she said it in this whiney (sp?) high voice, so it was weird. And when her Elphaba says" do something!" and her wheelchair goes to Elphaba she did the best scream ever! She screamed like 5 times, she was freaking out, it was great. But i loved her acting, she was great overall.

Shoshana Bean: AMAZING!!! I'm not sure who my fav. Elphaba is now, she is that good. I'm pretty sure she's my fav. She has great sarcasism, and her jokes were hilarious. A bit nasal when ever she sang a word that ended in "e" (like meee) She added tons of rifts in DF and WaI, they were great. Singing A, acting A+

Megan Hilty: Holy crap. She was awesome, i laughed at every joke she told ever though ive heard them all before. I loved her singing, she is my new favorite Galinda, her voice and antics were adorable. Singing A+ acting A+

David Ayers: soooo hot! Not the greatest singing, Norbert def. beats him in the singing department. Acting was great, so much hottness! Singing C, Acting A.

Robb Sapp: I think he hold the record for tallest Boq. He was my fav Boq ever. Love his voice and cute antics. Boq/Nessarose senes where awesome. Acting A+, Singing A+

Ben Veeren: I used to hate the Wizard but how can you hate Ben? I couldn't i loved his singing acting, everything, i think he's the best Wizard. I didn't think of him as evil at all cause he is just so lovable looking. Singing A+ acting A+

Adinah Alexander: (Rue was not there): She was a great Morrible, though i hate the character. Her voice didn't annoy me the way Carole Shelly's does. Acting A+ Singing A+.

ok so experiences:
oops moment:Before the show started my mom took a picture of me in the theatre and some guy yelled at us and said "no more pics" we were alittle embarresed cause people were looking at us.
Bathroom: (this one is funny): there was like some bathroom supervizer lady and everytime someone came out of the bathroom she would clap and announce it. She was like "Where going have fun in my ladies room." and weird stuff like that
consession stand: during intermission me and my mom got Junior Mints and a water to share and it cost $7!!! Crazy prices. my mom was all "7 bucks for candy and water?!" it was a rip off.
Poster: there were autographed posters for sale and after the show i went to get one and my mom thought they were $25 so i went to get one and gave the guy the money and he's like "It's $75 not $25" and i didn't have enough so that was kinda embarresing cause tons of people were behind me.
Songs:
NOMTW: Megan was awesome, she sang the end note even higher than Kristin does on the CD, it was jawdropping, literally. Sean was WAY off pitch on the last word he sings, "sight" sounding pretty bad.
DOS, not that great, so im skipping it
WaI: Sho's rifts were so cool, she rocked this song. And she did the little weird laugh after she says "melt", i was cracking up.
Megan made me laugh cause she was saying this like "unuuuusually and excedingly pecuuuliar and quite impaaasible to descriiiibe." so i was histaricle (sp) loved this song.
SB: Didn't really like it, it was good, but i dont like this song
DTL OMG when Robb says "you touched me!" and falls backward, omg, lmao. Michelle said "Elphaba see" so fast it sounded like one word, like it said her voice was weird when she sang for some reason. After the punch thing when Boq is dancing around Nessa, Michelle put her hand over her face like she was embarresed, i don't know why but i wasn't expecting her to do this. It was so cute when Boq was spinning her around, i was like "awww!
edit, i forgot popular!Popular: Instead of saying "specially great comunticators Megan said, "really great speakers." so i was like wtf, those aren't the words. And when Sho was trying to flip her hair she looked like she was having a seisure cause she was flopping all over the place :lol1:
ok this is taking too long so im gonna some them up alittle more:
Wonderful was so funny, Ben is an awesome Wizard and i love his voice. SM was ok, dont really like this song. INTG (reprise) it was Megan, so therefore it was great. NGD: so rocked, so much power! FG: I told myself before i saw wicked i wasn't going to cry on this song, but i did, cried like a baby, Megan was getting all choked up and couldn't sing very well cause she was crying (or pretending to cry) so i cried, yep i did. :cry: TG, finale: good w.e. ok skipped this one on purpose:
WWotEprobably my fav sene in the whole musical.
Michelle was sounding so mad, she was practically screaming "all of my life i depended on you!..." and she was looked like she was gonna kill Sho, funny stuff. When Michelle stood up the 1st time people started clapping but were cut short cause she fell 1 sec after standing, so people where like "aww she fell" then she was on her knees as soon as she fell, she was only on the ground for 1 sec. which was weird cause i thought she be there longer. When she stood up the 2nd time so was soooo shaky and she stepped backward and lost her balance and grabbed Sho, it was so cute. When she called for Boq he came in kinda early before she sat in the wheelchair again so she ran (which was weird cause she could harly stand a sec ago and now she's running!) then when she showed Boq she could stand she was major shaky again and when she held his hand she was using him to balance, so cute!

OK i think i covered everything, Wicked was amazing!!!!!!! :rock:

that sounds like some GREAT fun... Pictures.... lets go!!!


that's so cool. I have to see it in broadway, or I'll die!

Oh, Nessa, I'm so happy for you! I'm so glad you got to see Michelle live! And I'm going to move this to the Wicked on Broadway section because that's really where it belongs. Oh, and did you go to the stage door after the show?

No I didn't stage door :-( we were kinda in a hurry to get out of NYC cause it was 5:00 and we didn't know where the stagedoor was.

OMG in the car on the way home me and my mom were talking about Wicked and she said the meanest thing when i was talking about Nessarose she said, "I hated Nessarose, that's a stupid name and the character was pointless." and she thought the WWotE sene sucked. :disagree: so i was like, "How can you hate Nessarose!?"

YAY!!! so glad you had a fun time! rofl. the same thing happened to us in the broom at chicago. hilarious chinese woman who was like woot everytime someone came out of the loo. haha. anyway i'm glad you got to see michelle! my mom would do something like that...i'm sure she will when we steph.

the other day i was expressing my sadness about the director yelling at my "lover" and i (we are acting a lovely scene and she always yells to change it) and then she said *mum* , "yeah your voice sounded really weak today."

it happens:D so happy for you though! it's YOUR opinion that counts!

I am so happy you got to see them live, I won't lie, I am EXTREMELY jealous, as David Ayers, Ben Vereen, Megan Hilty, Shoshana Bean and Rob Sapp...

i can't develope the pictures yet, stupid disposable camera has 11 pics left to kill so maybe i will go a picture taking spree.
