OMG! Eden is coming back to Broadway to star as Elphie!! OMG, I really wanna see her as the new Elphie!! I heard she has a powerful vocal range. Has anyone seen her before? :rock:

I HEARD! I'm SO excited!

OMG now I have to go to Broadway!!!! I :heart: Eden!!!!! She's such an amazing Elphaba!!!

>> What's this girl's first name? I want to look her up.

Who? Eden? Her full name is Eden Espinosa.

Oh my gosh, I love Eden! Carol Kane and Derrick are also coming to Broadway. I'm so excited for Eden & Derrick!

OMG that's so cool!

so, when i go in may, who'll be on? Eden? who else? I'm so excited!

where did you hear this?!

this is also a topic in "new cast"

Aww man, I watched Eden Espinosa in San Francisco. She was freaken amazing. I have audio if you want to listen to the way she sings a number of the songs. Wait till you hear her sing the Wizard and I...she places these crazy high notes where they don't need to be, but it makes it so much better.

who's replacing Michelle?

Oooh oooh oooh!!!! *raises hand* I'd like Eden audios! Please. I've got INTG, DG, and NGD and I'd love anything else. Please!

Beautifully Tragic, I found an audio of Eden singing a solo arrangement of DG and the quality is awesome. It's not like on stage or anything. I'll trade it to you for INTG.

Deal! IM me and we can trade.

I was just listening to some of Eden's versions of the songs and I can't wait to see her live. I think she is going to be amazing!! :rock:

The more I listen the more I enjoy her. If anyone would like DG, Wizard and I or FG live just let me know and it is yours. Everyone needs to hear her. I am a complete Idina fan but she is great!!

I love eden! I saw her as Elphie 1.5 times and I think she's great. Steph still remains my favorite but if Steph isn't coming to Bway I'm VERY thankful that Eden is!

does anyone have a link where i can listen to her sing (Wicked songs)?

Her singing Wizard and I is hidden in this post

ahhh LOVED her in bklyn

ahhhhhhh :]

Eden is great! I can't wait to see her!

I'm happy for Eden but I was kinda hoping Stephanie would get to be on braodway...

I think Stephanie is moving on to a different musical with Shoshana. I think they have already previewed some songs from it. But it is in the making. Probably wont come out for several years. Correct me if I am wrong.

If you are talking about Piece, the Scott Alan musical that "Never Never Land" is from, Stephanie's said that "Nothing has been signed." Now, that's pretty cryptic and can be taken any way, but I choose to take it how she said it and not speculate any further on the matter; as far as I'm concerned, I won't believe it until She Herself says it. There's been no news about Piece since the workshop, which took place in November (and in which Shoshana took part), but I certainly do hope that it's brought to Broadway... and sooner rather than later, even if Steph isn't in it!

It's funny how these threads always ALWAYS discuss the previous Elphaba, and how can they not? I remember when Sho replaced Idina everyone was wondering what Idina was going to do next. It'll be the same when Eden leaves, but I hope she stays for a good long while!

Wait, I thought Stephanie was working on Bite? Or am I lost again?

hahaha as well as piece, bite is a musical she just sang some songs to preview the musicals for.. [the whole piece ordeal was BEFORE bite]

shes friends with the producers and they wanted her voice to preview the music... i think there was a thread about this before on how she's not actually taking part of the musical ,just helping them jump start a name...

Thats what it was...she just previewed some songs...sorry to cause so much confusion!

ROFL... so, Eden! 19 days, is it? Who's excited!?

I am! I'm always sad when a castmember goes (or when several castmembers go, as is the case this year), but after I get over that I'm hella excited. I think my best friend and I might make it up to NY sometime in July, so we'll see her then (and Piazza and Sweeney Todd)--fingers crossed!

You saw Eden 1.5 times? I do agree, she is great! I have an audio of the whole show with her.

Care to share?

1.5 times, eh?

Sure...Here ya go!

Thanks! You rock! :rock:

What is the date of that? It sounds like Cheno is Glinda...What I mean is, what cast is it? It sounds like Ben Vereen as Wizard, Rue as Morrible, Michelle as Nessa, and Cheno as Glinda...

Norbert is definetly Fiyero, but I can't figure out who is Boq. It sounds like Derrick, but who knows.

Wait. What is this? Is it a video or audio??

I'm so happy for Eden! I love her. :mrgreen:

It is audio.

Is Michelle Nessa? If so pm me Nessarose, I have something to tell you.

Can I pm you too? I'm curious. :eyebrows:

Jenna Leigh Green is taking over in 3 months. Some one else is taking over before Jenna, b/c she is still on the tour.

Christy Candler is Nessa until Jenna's tour contract is up.

It's right before Cheno and Norbert's last, so it's the entire original cast minus Idina, Joel Grey and Christopher Fitzgerald, who were sick. Sean McCourt is the Wizard and Randy Harrison is Boq. Carole is Morrible and Michelle is Nessa.

Thanks! I forgot her name...

Wow, I was TOTALLY off...but at least I knew who WASN'T the OBC. Thanks, that helps a lot.

so when will jenna come to broadway? does anyone know the exact date?

I don't think it's even been officially confirmed that Jenna will come to Broadway.

It will be soon! It just hasn't been officially announced...

Is Jenna good? i've never heard her singing before.

Jenna is AMAZING!
