So, I'm listening to the original Broadway cast

[cville]

of Wicked and I don't care what anyone says, Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel are goddeses.

Anyone who comes in here to disagree in any fashion will be the recipient of massive side eye and potential shunning.

[lilibet]

I have this on my ipod and adore it. I totally agree.

[kirra]

No disagreement here They're amazing.

[alzi]

I love them. Even more together.

[W.T.Faulkner]

Love that recording. LOVE IT.

[jsillyfun]

Yes I saw them together in Broadway. They were amazing and crying real tears at the end

I so hope they both star in the movie version. I think Idina would be down, since she reprised her role of Maureen for the Rent movie (as did most of the cast).

[TrickyBob]

I love Kristen C.

I absolutely agree with this statement.

Slowly backs out of post....

[wambam]

YES.

[mandymay]

My daughter asked to listen to Wicked in the car this morning instead of Frozen. I was more than obliging! I think they are wonderful too.

I didn't realize there were misguided souls who disagreed with this sentiment.

I do not care for the musical at all, and, although I like Idina Mendzel, I can't stand KC's voice.

I knew you'd come in her to crap on my love for this.  I knew it.

I don't love her voice in general, but I think she was perfect for the role.

This is true!

I should've stayed out, you are right. I will refrain, in the future, from making any comments on it, by you or others. 

[wambam]

I just don't understand how people DON'T think this musical is amazing and life changing and perfect.

...says the girl who cried during "The Wizard and I" (read: not that emotional AT ALL) the first time she saw it live.

I didn't like it, either. I read the book first, which I LOVED. And I had no idea how different the show was from the book. Total disappointment.

You cannot help yourself when it comes to theater.  If someone mentioned going to see a local high school production of Our Town, you'd be like "ugh, trite."

In that situation, you'd be correct.  Ha ha ha.

[NothingWrongwithOhio]

I saw them both in it on Broadway when I was 13. Every subsequent performance of Wicked I've seen has paled in comparison.

Co-signed. They absolutely make those roles.

I do think I would've liked it had I known. But I was expecting one thing, and it was something else entirely. 

I saw it in Chicago and the music was very good. 

I did this too. I was expecting something dark and complex. LOVED the book.

I was so confused. Lol.

I remember closing my office door to read the book during lunch. I got the book the week it came out. Off to eat my prunes and yell at the kids on my lawn. (I haven't convinced myself to see the Into the Woods movie yet because I saw the original production on Broadway with Ms. Peters and I know it won't come close to that.)



I've never seen the show, only listened to it on SiriusXM On Broadway. This makes me very sad:(  And I didn't have money to go when it was a the Kennedy Center:(

[shell403b]

Yes they are. I'm still bummed that I didn't get to see Wicked with them in it. I've seen it twice, once on Broadway and once in DC and nope, nowhere close from what I've heard.

I never saw ITW on Broadway, but I watched a taped version (probably from PBS?) of it with the original cast probably 800 times when I was a little kid and while it was different, they actually did a pretty good job with the movie.

[sharknado]

I could not get into the book. Loved the musical so much.
