She is amazing!
If anything, I think she has a better voice than Idina.
(And, yes, I did see Idina in the NYC production -- as well as in RENT in NY. I think she's great, too)

LOOOOOVVED Eden when I saw her, can't say enough good things about her. I don't know about flat out better voice, but definitely better for the role of Elphaba. IMO, not to knock Idina cause I love her too, but to me Maureen is her role.

Yeah, she didn't get to "moon" anybody in Wicked.

OK, I was just looking at the Wicked website and tickets are on sale for the London run which starts in early September.
I want to see it in London!

I saw it in January here in Chicago and now Mr. kansas13 and I are going tomorrow and taking our Mom's for Mothers Day!! I can't wait!!
So far it's playing in Chicago till August. It started summer 2005 and was suppose to end in March, but then they extended it to May and now they just extended it till Aug. I guess if people keep on seeing it here they will keep on extending it!!

I've spent my time between finals and summer school back in the Chicago area (Orland Park) selling tickets for Wicked via Ticketmaster. From what they (ticketmaster) tell us, Wicked may be in Chicago for up to another year. It's still a top seller; the new group of seats went on sale on Sunday(through August), and we sold about $2500 worth. We would have sold more but our system went down at 3:30.
On a personal note, I've seen it twice, and read the book a couple of times as well. I enjoyed both.

That's pretty cool!! I know alot of parents at the school where I work would be happy to know that. IMO, looking at all the prices for tickets online and how much they are costing I don't think tickets for here in Chicago are that bad. It is definately a must see if you live in the area or are visiting!!

They're getting set for return engagements in Toronto starting this Fall and here in Denver as well as Tampa, Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia and Boston in the Spring and Summer of 2007!
I still want to see it in London, though.

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:

I say the rights will be released in about two ecade or when they closed the show on Broadway, . So . . . you'll be old enough to play Morrible.

Don't remind me...I have already figured on that, but still, I don't need my fantasy ruined. 
ETA: I made the director at my local theatre very aware that she better be first on the list for rights...so I better start practising...

We'll let our son do that in NY or on tour now that he has his Equity card. We need to get parts for him so we don't have to support him for the next four years in New York. Or longer.
