Wicked UK have retweeted somebody who took a photo of the bows last night - I know it's probably not very distracting to either audience members or the cast during that moment of the show but still, it doesn't give a good message about theatre etiquette, something that Wicked audiences do seem to lack!

I wish we still had the old Wicked thread where we could look at what was posted after Rachel and Louise's first shows - I'm sure one comment was that Rachel was too quiet. We had no idea what an impact she would have on Wicked!

I agree that Rachel can probably never be bettered but then I said the same when Kerry left and how wrong I was... Alice is definitely worth watching, she is pretty wonderful! I wish I had seen Kerry in her prime - the less said about her return in 2014 the better. I agree, though, Alice is great - I would like to go back and see her again at some point.

I feel like Sophie hasn't been on in ages, is she OK? She was off for a good 10 days over Christmas with what seemed to be a lingering illness. She was back just before New year and then was on at the beginning of the week but had holiday for the rest of the week.

That's true. I guess because they update the jokes a bit I was thinking they might update the lyrics.

Thomas Monson has died so there will need a slight amendment to I Believe.

Last night was my turn seeing this, finally! I really enjoyed it, and I felt buzzed about most elements, although I can’t deny if I’d have done some research before going in I would have followed the political themes a little better. I was in row E of the Grand Circle, where there is precisely zero legroom - I had to stand at the back for the second act purely because the pain in my shins was distracting me from the action it’s certainly not 6ft 3 friendly up there. I’d love to go again soon, in much better seats though. My other half was mesmerised throughout. I'm seeing the show in Feb, back row of the grand circle (reallocated from the front row when the starting date got moved) and I'm slightly concerned about all the leg room comments being 6 ft 1...

But 2019 is so far away for Ben Platt to reprise the role, see me in the audience, fall in love and run away with me so we can live happily ever after...

You've contradicted yourself there. If they think those things then that's their opinion and how they feel, it's not 'nonsense' Hamilton does seem to be the new Wicked in terms of fandom If that's the case, Victoria is going to be full of stage door crazies and Nutella sales will be through the roof.

Sophie Evans seems to call out more than previous Glinda's I've noticed. I'm impressed with how little Alice is off sick, she's got stamina.

I'm more excited about this potentially opening in London than I am about Hamilton. The cast recording is beautiful and quite emotional, would love to see this on stage.

This has probably been discussed but I don't want to read the whole thread - chances of this coming to London?

Sam Smith has just tweeted he has seen Wicked tonight and mentioned how great Alice Fearn is - I like that he has actually named Alice in his tweet.

I’m sure this has been asked before but how much of a bigger sing is this than Elphaba?! I’ve not seen the show but this alternate/Standby/how many shows do they get thing is quite interesting! Much bigger in my opinion. There is much less dialogue as well so it's a lot of singing all the way through. Effie is not a quiet character.

This thread cracks me up. Keep it up guys! As entertaining as it is, I'd rather this thread just fell back into page 2 or 3 on the board otherwise it's going to end up locked again - I can literally see it happening right now. Boring. Zzz. Just noticed how Trump-esque my 'Boring' is at the end of that sentence... urgh.

Binged on this Friday night and yesterday - it's just as good as the first season, loved it!

Hmmmm, I had tonsillitis in May this year and I was bed ridden for a solid week and even the week after I still felt ill - it's an odd choice to go and do a television interview...

There's a little ode to Wicked performed on the top of the castle by Lord Farquaad in Shrek. Ah yes, loved that one. What happens?

Does anybody else fancy Oliver? Or is it just me?

The show when Danny Mac was on as Boq and his Flathead "head" fell off leaving him on stage in his underwear is definitely my most missed show! Did this actually happen?!

I wasn't necessarily outraged about the use of a click track by it's certainly interesting and something to look out for. It's the first time I've ever heard of this practice on any of Elphaba's songs.

I must have seen the show almost 20 times now (if not more...) and that has never been a click track as it's been different every single time - I'd be surprised out of all of Elphaba's money notes, it was that one that's a struggle.

Good god, she chose a good cast to see. I bet she walked away relieved London's Glinda isn't a patch on her! Don’t be mean! I liked Sophie! I'm glad I'm not the only one.
