Wicked To Have Gender Bending Performance 4/1

Something wicked this way comes -- that's for sure! The Tony-award winning musical bends the rules quite often -- and this April Fools is no exception. The 8pm performance will feature several actors in different roles. Different roles with different genders. Sean McCourt will headline the performance as Elphaba, while Ben Vereen will play the blonde and bubbly Glinda.






































































APRIL FOOLS!

stole this from lj

OMG! You soooo got me just then....that was until i realised i was scrolling down really far. But I was seriously confused and amused for a second there!

Ha! That would've been awesome. They really should do that for charity or something....at least have the actors act different scenes, maybe not sing them. :ha:

You fooled me! I thought it was real.

But.............that wouldn't be a bad idea for a benefit. Kinda like Miscast, eh?

OMG I really believed that! :ha: I must admit that was good. That would be an awesome show, though!

That was rather interesting

I thought it was a benefit for April fools or something..

Haha...you really had me there, until I started scrolling down a giant empty space! ;-)

Although a gender-bending performance has always been a secret fantasy of mine... :eyebrows:

I would love to see Ben Vereen sing "Popular."

OMG I HAVE SO THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE!!!! i think it's hilarious...

thoough seriously, it would be realllly interesting to see like, elphie and glinda switch roles or something. boq and fiyero switch. the wizard dillimond...idk...

LOL that was funny! You seriously had me fooled! It would be funny if this did actually happen tho :ha: !

OMG ITS APRIL FOOLS! Lol I forgot

That was pretty amusing, I fell for it..Slightly

Holy crap.


You scared me....


I didn't think Ben would fit in that bubble dress anyway.

LOL! :ha: :ha: :ha:

omg...picture ben in a little pink dress dancing around a bedroom :drunk:



and megan in a goat suit!

*hmphs* They should totally let McCourt have a shot at Elphaba. He's been with the production long enough, with not much payoff. :elphie3:

elphacourt!

lmao. I was about to ask who was going so they could take pics. lol.

hahah i definately believed it!!!!! i was like what i'm missing that performance...dang!!!!

I totally believe it, and I was thinking...."crap, I missed this...please someone make a vid." That was excellent. Happy April Fools

oh my god! you got me!! I believed it I was like, "What!? what about the poor people who haven't seen it yet?!" and "Mom, we have to go to the city RIGHT NOW" then once I started scrolling it was more like, "Cherry is going to get it" lol

I would pay so much to see that, it'd be hilarious!

You totally got me. :ha:

The mental image alone of Ben Vereen as Glinda.......


:ha:

NICE ONE
I WOULD TOTALY PAY TO SEE THAT

:ha: :ha: I fell for it. :ha: :ha:

I would pay to see that.Ben dancing around singing Popular :rofl:

I would like to see him to the hair toss in a blonde wig! :ha:

you got me there.

i would pay hundreds to see that really happen though

I actually believed that too lol. Liek some other people have said, it would be good to have that as a charity performance. I would kill to see it :ha:

i made that idea a while ago when we were talking about other cast members not being allowed to ride the DG Lift, I said they should do that kind of show where there's a bunch of different character switches.

and when I said "dr. dillamond playing elphaba" I got so much crap for it haha

id like 2 see jenna as a goat hahaha

hahaha if they really did that it would be hilarious!

i was believing that there for awhile... :ha: :ha:

lmao perfect!

That would be way too funny if it really happend :ha: .

I would pay good money to see that.

Aww man.. I was excited to see this :-D

That was great. That would be something to see. :ha:

I read this and was like..."What the crap?!" But then I saw it was a joke! ::lets out a big sigh of relief::

Yayy! That would be WIERD if they did do that!

Wow, this was from 2 years ago!

I was just thinking of this post the other day.

Ta Da Ben as Glinda:

Now that's just freaky...

Holy crap, that's scary.

Hahaha! That made me laugh SO hard!
