Nice review but this has confused me a tiny bit aha, did you see the show on Tuesday or Wednesday? She saw it Wednesday I am assuming, and referring to it as last night because it is past midnight so it is yesterday? Plese do correct me if I am wrong though m'lovely. Ooooo, Helen was on as Nessa last night! (Wednesday evening) so you would of seen her as Nessa if you went then

Don't want to derail the convo but I saw this tonight! Full cast except u/s Fiyero and Dr Dillamond. Went 100% to see Willemijn as I've loved her for years and thought she was amazing in Wicked back in 2014. She was just as fabulous this time round, and her acting has gotten much more subtle, which I enjoyed. Jaw dropping vocals. For me she is The Elphaba. Susie Mathers was wonderful and very fresh and funny as Glinda. Nice to see new takes on Nessa and Boq. Overall I enjoyed myself and LOVED every note Willemijn sang. My gosh, have I grown out of the show though! I used to really love it but this time round I found it a bit dull tbh (in between songs, at least.), and the 'jokes' seemed juvenile and tonally wrong. Overall the show was enjoyable, but I didn't love it nearly as much as I used to. Hmm.... Also, due to a late start the show came down at 10:25 last night. My sister missed her train. We were not impressed! Nice review but this has confused me a tiny bit aha, did you see the show on Tuesday or Wednesday?

It would be awesome but unfortunately it's not going to happen, This production she has got lead for isn't in the UK Source? Very funny you all aha, I got told by Laura's mum that it's abroad.

Looks as though Laura will be a leading lady very soon... kinda hoping she is the takeover for Willemjin, can't lie. That would be awesome. But I doubt she'll be our next Elphaba as apparently the producers thought she wasn't experienced enough to be standby. It wouldn't make sense to immediately give her lead a few months later. Maybe it's something Off-West End, like in the Southwark Playhouse for example. Although I'd love for her to play a lead role in a big West End show. It would be awesome but unfortunately it's not going to happen, This production she has got lead for isn't in the UK

One of my friends are at the matinee and they've just told me that Willemijn is really ill so Alice will be doing the rest of the shows this week, Willemijn might try and do the Saturday evening performance but they doubt it.

Willemijn, Oliver, Idriss and a couple ensemble members have basically confirmed they're going. I can see Carina leaving too!

When Alice joined she said that she wouldn't of accepted standby unless she was told that she would eventually get a promotion to lead, so here's hoping Really? You sure about that? As without seeing the terms of her contract, there's no way that you'd know that, and surely she wouldn't go round saying things like this to members of the public, as discussing the terms of her contract surely isn't the best idea I misworded it, she didn't say it herself, a cast member from the international tour said this to a friend of mine at SD in Bradford

I personally think Alice will get lead after Willemijn! All i can do is pray aha Can I just ask, apart from being a fan of hers, what exactly makes you think Alice will get lead when Willemijn leaves? When Alice joined she said that she wouldn't of accepted standby unless she was told that she would eventually get a promotion to lead, so here's hoping

Based on the last few cast changes I'd say two or three months. I'm hoping they do it as quick as they announced Willemijn returning which was early in September not long after Rachel/Suzie started! I personally think Alice will get lead after Willemijn! All i can do is pray aha

He's the official riff (and jazz hands) director for Wicked UK Nice to see he recorded the show again last night too... Some people never learn He doesn't record the shows silly.... someone else does and loads them to a channel he also has access to!! Yeah, I created the channel and now a few people upload to it and have access to it. All i do is look at the comments etc and have access to it and upload anyone else's recordings if they ask me too, It's mainly just for the Wicked fans who want to listen to an audio to cheer them up or whatever aha

Speaking of riffs, Carina riffed part of Thank Goodness on Friday and it was a very strange moment for me. I'm not a massive fan of many Elphaba riffs let alone a Glinda riff. My eye roll went through the back of my head. Carina does that one at every show now She's been doing it since July

This shows people don't really understand what a riff is 😂🙈 What is a riff, officially? Just out of interest. Well it's kind of a riff but not one we would call if that makes sense aha, it's not a Rachel Fiyero riff let's put it that way, i can see it developing into one though for sure!

Calling it now - Emma will take over from Willemijn. Which would be terrible news because her portrayal was dreadful. 🙄🙄 She's doing Evita right now which ends after July. She wouldn't come back that soon! It's ok if you didn't like her portrayal, I don't like Rachel's portrayal that much and I know some people will find that bizarre. Just enough about Emma, loads of people love her, as do loads of people love Rachel. People have their faves and preferences! End of.

I am genuinely interested to hear what your views are about the power in Rachel's performance last night? I was right next to the speaker and she was very powerful Amazing last performance!

Have you ever noticed it with any other Elphabas? I've only seen two, but I've only ever noticed it with Rachel I've noticed it loads - it's not a new thing. I even seem to remember there being the same issue on Broadway and the UK Tour... same sound design I suppose. Yeah it's certainly not a new thing! I've heard it nearly every time I've seen wicked!

Are you going to attempt it tomorrow just in case?! The only seats available online are all around £100, so I don't see the point. It's also extremely unlikely that I'll be able to get day seats. I reckon you'll be able to get dayseats, There's still less than 5 people there now.

Rachel did the "Jazz Hands" tonight! Genuine question... for someone who has seen the show so often, and knowing that Willemijn is back next week, aaaaand knowing that you're not a fan of Rachel.... why did you go again tonight?! I didn't, my friends did and it was all over Twitter.
