I’m there for both shows on Saturday! On my own for the matinee, then a quick bit of food with the other half who joins me for the evening!

I’m going to the evening - I would have done the matinee too but the ticket prices for Manchester are insane as mentioned before.

Nikki’s last performance will be the matinee tomorrow for anyone that’s there.

It's Amy's scheduled show off, but unfortunately no green Goodwin unless Nikki and Amy W don't come to their last day at work.

If only Amy Goodwin could go on! Would be such a fitting tribute for her! 💚
Almost booked for the Matinee but so glad I didn’t now! It seems Amy Ross is taking every opportunity to be well rested and in top form for Saturday night!

It seems Amy Ross is taking every opportunity to be well rested and in top form for Saturday night! It’s no harm to the producers to put her on on the last day but I know it won’t happen. I’ve not yet seen Nikki having seen Amy W a few times when Nikki seemed to be always calling out! So happy to get a Nikki show finally. |

I agree it would be very nice for Amy G ... hopefully by some small chance it happens!
Nikki will give a memorable performance tomorrow no doubt, knowing it’s her last! She’s always been vocally amazing during the big 3 numbers when I’ve seen her ... acting wise however she’s always been lacking behind the Amy’s I find!

Well Nikki definitely is a power belter! Smashing those big songs out of the park!
Couple of muck-ups but not too many, there might be others I missed....
* Witches mother gave witches father a scarf and suitcase when she gave him the hat in the opening!
* James Davies Williams was wearing a beret with Charli Bapti in his Shiz uniform!
* Whole ensemble ran across the stage during WAI and sans during the train station scene.
* There was a leprechaun cuddly toy in the lion’s cage!
* Elphie & Glinda were given Giant tickets to Wizomania and they had big star shaped sun glasses!
EDIT with the 2nd half muck ups which included:
Charli - “I hear some naughty aninals” and Ben Yates asking if Fieyro wanted still or sparkling water?!

I cannot wait for for the evening show. The atmosphere will be so amazing. I can’t believe I’m actually going - it was so hard to get tickets.

Ah still or sparkling, that takes me back to the 2012 cast change! 😂 |

I’m running out of words to describe Amy Ross. Jaw droppingly brilliant! And Helen Woolf somehow gets funnier every time I see her!

Awesome night! Nothing else to say about this cast... Michael McCabe gave a great speech to thank everyone and now I’m off to have some drinks!
Wicked tour. Out. I’ll do a fuller post tomorrow....

Amy’s DG tonight (well technically last night) left me feeling so shook and choked up. It was perfect. She blew the roof off the Palace and completely deserved the huge cheer that followed.

Out of this world. It’s just a masterclass in story telling. Riffs to emblish not detract.. sadly for me today’s matinee was a bit of a riff-mess..... just because you can doesn’t mean you should! |

To add/edit the muck ups. It wasn't the whole ensemble in TWAI and the Train Station scene. It was actually the stage manangment department in the swings costumes.
- Charlie Karlsen and Benjamin Yates shouting out "the War" during the first Shiz scene.
- During Witchhunters Georgia Rae Briggs wore one of the monkey beards and Charli Baptie performed the whole song with a cucumber.
While I completely agree the matinee was far too much on the riff side of things, she wouldn't have done that had it not been her last show. Nikki had actually gotten extremely good at sticking very close to the score on non-special occasions.
Amy just made me cry and cry and cry at the evening show. She's incredibly special in the role of Elphaba even if she's not my favourite.

The performance last night was simply stunning! Such a fitting end to an incredible run!
Amy was giving everything she had last night, but still remained in character without adding any OTT riffs that take away from the moment! You could clearly feel the dedication she put into that performance!
Amy has long been one of my favourite Elphaba’s ... she’s just amazing all round! Sounds wonderful and acts the sh*t out of it! Every performance of Amy’s has been an absolute joy to watch!
The rest of the cast were on their A game! This whole tour has always felt strong and it finished the exact same way! Shame to see it end but all good things must come to an end! Let’s hope we see some London transfers in the summer!

A bootleg has emerged on YouTube and it’s as jaw droppingly perfect as it was live. |

The woman next to me was giving me very judgemental looks during DG. I was shaking and crying, in awe of the performance masterclass happening before my eyes.
