Saw it last evening...
It was wonderful, awesome, spetacular.
I was dissapointed at first when I opened my program and two pieces of paper fell out saying that Elphaba would be played by the Standby and Glinda would be played by an understudy...but I actually think they put on a superb performance because they we so excited to be out there. Elphaba even picked up Glinda and swung her around during the curtain call, they were so excited.
Listening to the soundtrack, I was debating if they ever release the rights to amatures before the only role I'm young enough for is Morrible, whether I would rather audition for Elphaba or Glinda. Then As the show started, I made a decision...there is no way in hell you are getting me to sing from that swinging pendulam that Glinda enters in.
If it ever comes anywhere near Charlotte again, I will defineatly be there!!
Oh, and I got this shirt:
