My friend Clare just invited me last night to see Wicked with her when she sees it in Syracuse in January! I'm extremely excited, it's going to be the First National Tour which has Chandra Lee Schwartz as Glinda right now and I would really love to see her (fingers crossed for no understudies, at least not for Glinda) because from reviews I've read online and recordings of her she seems to be really promising as one of the few actresses who doesn't go ridiculously over the top in the role and makes Glinda a sincere character. Plus I saw her in one of the Pittsburgh CLO shows this past summer (Copacabana. Pretty bland show but I really liked her) so I'd really like to see how she does with Glinda.

Also Donna Vivino is playing Elphaba and while I don't know much about her portrayal (other than that revyrie liked her, and we tend to agree on which Elphabas and Glindas we like) but she was the original Young Cosette in the Broadway production of Les Miserables so it would be interesting to see her just for that little fun fact :)

Also, nice meme from revyrie

Comment here and I will tell you why I like/love you.

Even if we don't talk much, even if we have NEVER spoken, I want EVERYONE to participate. If you want to share the love and do the same at your journal, go ahead. You're under no obligation to carry it on if you comment here.

I saw the Pittsburgh CLO's Les Miz on Tuesday night and it was fantastic! Honestly, I think it was the best production of the show I've seen. Not that I'm a Mizzie connoisseur like otakuwench  or piratesmile331 , but I like to to believe that I do have somewhat discerning tastes. :D

First off, I passed my Sophomore Review so I am officially an Art Education Major! They even kept one of my pieces for a display so they must have liked it!

Moving on...

Bailey won. Boo.

She's not bad but she honestly was not good enough o beat Autumn who was a fantastic singer and actor, just a slightly clumsy dancer, and really she got better each time. Bailey is a great dancer an ok singer and a really poor, hammy actor who is just trying to copy Laura Bell Bundy who is good, but not all that great in my opinion. She played the part very shallowly and kind of mean. All in all I think she has too much attitude and nowhere near enough sweetness or strength.

I really saw a whole new Elle in Autumn. One who was more mature, one who was smarter and stronger, and one who was deeper. And really she was more ready than Bailey. Bailey is doing alright but I really think she's understudy material and not ready to be a principal.

Sigh...it should have been Autumn.
