Stephanie Block, Vortex? She was in the touring company for a long time, and is supposed to be phenomenal.
That's neat ND! Did you actually talk to her? From what little I could tell tonight, she seemed like she would be pretty fun/funny. I would have introduced myself, but for the needing to leave.
Speaking of which, good night!
ETA: Also, I saw Ana Gasteyer as Elphaba here in NY, not too long ago. I thought she was decent, though not as good as the one I had seen the first time. Also realized I have no need to see
Wicked
again anytime soon - not a show that I felt grew on a repeated viewing.
Stephanie J. Block?
yeah, she was great. I remember hearing "The Wizard and I" and thinking "holy shit, Defying Gravity is going to be AWESOME" and it was. I was practically in tears, because I was so excited about it and it was
better
than I thought it would be.

Oh yeah, they were both undergrads while I was there as a grad student. I've gotten both of them in and out of wireless mics and took a few classes with them as well. We also ended up at a lot of the same parties. Knowing me I hit on both of them at some point.
I saw Stephanie here in LA. She was amazing.
For those keeping count:

I swear I read.
Grr. I just spent 40 minutes looking for a photo. yes, at 2AM. I kept thinking that it would be in the next place I looked. it's of me right after my favorite haircut. I cannot find the damn picture. It's one of those I always thought, oh, I should scan that, but I DIDNT. and now I can't find it. Adding to the frustration is my housekeeper who likes to move shit, sometimes to places that are totally counterintuitive, so I sometimes can't find random shit until I'm looking for something else! I mean, I found pictures from my first year in college! ARGH.
Eden Espinosa (who I believe is playing Elphaba in L.A. right now) and I no longer have my playbill for the checking. She's definitely amazing.
Eden Espinoza is indeed currently playing Elphie in LA, and she is
jaw dropping.
I think Idina's performance on the CD is amazing, but the night I saw Eden do it here in LA, she was better.
Late shift!
Man, I haven't typed that in years.
Early shift, now.
All this talk makes me want to see
Wicked.
Maybe when we live in civilization again.
All this talk makes me want to see Wicked.
All this talk makes me want to see it again. I missed it when it came to Boston. Ah, well.
Off to work on schoolwork.
