Isnt Zurich a 4 show weekend deal? Maybe Nikki will be an alternate while in Zurich like Jodie was for Jacqueline in Asia.
I’m sure I read somewhere that Wicked UK dont like having their Elphaba’s do 4 shows in two days!

Moya has put in Twitter that on average she’ll be on Wednesdays and Fridays.
I’m assuming Marisha will do Thursdays and Saturdays? And Karen will do Monday & Tuesdays?

Has any sort of schedule been confirmed for after Amber leaves? I’m looking to go on that Thursday and wondering who it might be as wouldn’t mind seeing Moya’s debut!

Has anyone tried or succeeded with Olivia Colman at the Mational lately? I absolutely adore her but haven't stage door-ed in years but thinking of giving it a go just for her!

I think she deserves to be bitter! I know I would be if I was made redundant and also had not been paid for my work!

I think Sophie is scheduled to be off tonight as it's a nine show week! Alice is off tomorrow so presuming she's had her put in, Laura Pick could be on tomorrow matinee! Ah I'd assumed she'd have a mid week rather than a Monday, admittedly I didn't check! This is the result of being on annual leave...I thought it was already Wednesday!

Oooo in fairness, Sophie has pretty much done two months straight since rehearsals and then into the show since cast change without calling out! I think Sophie is scheduled to be off tonight as it's a nine show week! Alice is off tomorrow so presuming she's had her put in, Laura Pick could be on tomorrow matinee!

I know it's all a bit uncertain but if Amber goes ahead with her holidays, Karen could be getting a long run of shows as Marisha is also on holiday from tomorrow!

Apparently Natalie McQueen has been off all week so Michelle has been on for the Hatter and Jessica Croll has done the matinees. I don't think Jessica has had many performances as Alice so that may have been a reason why the quality was lacking?

Bear in mind this is only her third performance after quite some time off. She was probably very nervous and trying to get through a really big song, remembering all the words and movement! I'd like to see how she coped after 10 more shows but guess that's quite unlikely now!

It appears Jacqueline hasn't been on for the past two weeks or so - even with an alternate it seems the tours of Wicked don't do well with Elphabas!

Ah I see - i'm sure I saw a tweet from Marisha saying she'd just be doing Monday so got confused!

It appears they dragged Amber in from her holiday on Tuesday to perform as the cast of Orange is the New Black were in...it was Marisha scheduled to perform too! This show is truly savage to its understudies! 😂

I think in the near future we could have a second Harry Potter opening up to meet demand. Would that be a west end first?

Ah yes... now in reality that is much more likely to be causing a delay here in London. The Creatives back in America will be looking at Elphie's for all three productions as well as possibly having one eye on the next UK tour (in reality rehearsals start end of October!). I reckon it'll be about mid September as apparently they're opening in Zurich rather than the International Tour cast doing it!

So, seeing as it's the original London's cast last day, thought I'd start this thread.
Due to open in April 2018. Do we reckon any of the London cast will travel with it - and do we think there will be any changes to the show?

When the dementors kiss Ron and Hermione, how long does it normally take? Ron was up in the air in no time, but Hermione seemed to take forever. I would also have liked it to end with the hat in mid-air again. This happened when I saw the show! Ron went straight up but Hermionie took a while. It appeared to me that Noma was struggling to clip herself in as i saw her fiddling with something just before she went up but maybe it's directed like that if it's happening regularly?

Looking at the list, it's doing 25 shows at the arena!! Surely even big stars would struggle to sell that?

A while ago, JK Rowling tweeted that not only would it run in London for a long time it would also tour.
There are obviously no doubts that the show could sustaine London and a Tour easily but surely this would mean extra long stays in venues? Like double the length of your average big tour. For example, Wicked played around 3 months in Manchester, where as surely Harry could play 6 months minimum. Does anyone have any clue as to when/if it would tour?
If the show does tour, how will they manage all the magic? I'm sure the polyjuice section uses trap doors as does the lake trap door, with added water! Any ideas?

I see Asmeret Ghebremichael has been added into the programme now, has anyone who recently got a programme since she joined, does it have Ruth under the Alternate bit still? I have one and nope - Ruth is gone! Marisha first then Karen!

Even though it is not announced Willemijn will be leaving in July, either she is leaving or she has a new holiday date on Monday July 31st for a concert at the Cambridge Theatre.

And Jacqueline Hughes has tweeted that she wants to get tickets so assuming it's not her taking over...

If it was Wicked, to make it something never happening before, it would have to be Glinda. As Elphaba has been played by some brilliant women of colour both here and in America.

People keep saying this tour is cancelled, yet the Wicked website links to Zurich for tickets that can still be purchased.
Interestingly, however, the website has removed mentions of Istanbul but by going to the venues page, you can again still purchase tickets. Surely if it was cancelled they wouldn't be selling tickets anymore?

Post by tommy123 on Mar 12, 2017 15:31:02 GMT
I wonder if the tour has been cancelled but Zurich hasn't. The cast may have been given the option not to come back for Zurich as a courtsey as they may find over work.
With the news coming from Jodie and Zoe, could they have decided to leave early rather than take a break and restart in Zurich. As the two of them are both Elphaba covers, that could explain why Ashleigh is going over?

Was Amber back tonight?

Post by tommy123 on Jan 2, 2017 21:42:24 GMT
Do we know when Amber is back at all? Hoping to catch the show either Thursday or Friday. If I'm right, Karen took over from Amber for Act 2 on the matinee on Friday 23rd December and hasn't been back since!

Wasn't it a matinee day today as well? Did Marisha do both shows?
