Who did you see in Wicked?

[♦ Glinda Arduenna]

Just another random thread of curiousity. If you have seen the show, which cast/casts have you seen?

I saw the tour last year in Orlando at the Bob Carr. Which has crappy sound quality. Haha. But our seats were nice, it was our first time seeing it, and we enjoyed the show. (And it amused me cause half of my coworkers from Disney were at the show as well. LOL.) So the cast we saw:

Elphaba: Carmen Cusack
Glinda: Katie Rose Clarke
Fiyero: Cliffton Hall
Boq: Brad Weinstock
Nessarose: DeeDee Magno Hall
Morrible: Alma Cuervo
The Wizard: Lee Wilkof

As I've mentioned before, I'm sure...while Carmen's gritty and sarcastic acting was PERFECT for Elphie, I didn't care for her voice. Katie was adorable. I was THRILLED when I saw DeeDee's name, I ADORE her for playing Jasmine in Disneyland in the Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular original cast. Cliffton was great as well. Good show. Would definately see it again, of course. Would hope for a more vocally amazing Elphie, though.

Nobody... yet. Yes I know, I'm a wicked fan that has never seen wicked, XD

However, I have seen clips of Stephanie J. Block (awesome acting!), Julia Murney (fantastic acting as well, =D), Kerry Ellis (phenomenal voice!), and of course, Idina Menzel. I would love to see Kerry Ellis before she leaves though, mostly because she's the only one left playing Elphie, =D

I've seen a lot of bootlegs but the one time I saw it really was the first time I'd heard anything at all about Wicked and I saw the wonderful Ms. Lisa Brescia who never gets enough credit as she wasn't in for long and the also wonderful Miss Annaleigh Ashford who amazes me lol <3

I saw Wicked twice...

London Production with

Elphaba - Alexia Khadime
Glinda - Dianne Pilkington
Fiyero - Oliver Tompsett
Madame Morrible - Harriet Thorpe
The Wizard - Desmond Barrit
Nessarose - Caroline Keiff
Boq - Jeremy Legat


& German Production in Stuttgart with

Elphaba - Willemijn Verkaik
Glinda - Lucy Scherer
Fiyero - Mathias Edenborn
Madame Akaber - Barbara Raunegger
Der Zauberer von Oz - Carlo Lauber
Nessarose - Nicole Radeschnig
Moq - Stefan Stara

which, except for the translation I cannot stand, was way better than the London cast I saw... Dianne & Alexia just don't sound good together & to be honest, with front row seats and great acting as well as fantastic singing from both Willemijn and Lucy, the translation didn't really matter so much anymore xD
