Well, ok, I didn’t really expect it to be true anyway, and he didn’t actually say it would be as he said, just that this was what he’d heard. But still, I’d hoped, because it would have been so fun. Ah well.
Ok, ok, I’ll tell you what I’m talking about. They’re starting a tour of Wicked in Toronto, March of next year. A guy in one of my classes had heard that Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth were going to reprise their Broadway roles with the tour company for the first few months. It didn’t sound terribly probable, but it would have been really cool if they did.
But, it’s now official, they’ve listed the cast for the tour on Stephen Schwartz’s website (he’s the composer and lyricist, so he should know), and Mizzes Menzel and Chenoweth are not on the list. Very sad, but I’m sure the new cast members will be just as good as the originals. They don’t have Dallas listed as one of the places they’re going to visit, yet; I’ll have to see if I can make it to my mother’s next summer when they get to Los Angeles, which doesn’t have dates yet, but is listed after Chicago, which goes through mid-June. Either that, or I’ll have to see if I can get to New York sometime soon and see it on Broadway. Thing about going to LA is that I don’t have to pay for a hotel. 🙂
