I love finding these Broadway Obsessed videos!
Ex-Broadway Glinda Alli Mauzey showing what would happen if she had jumped on the broom instead of Elphie! (From 1:48 if you don't want to watch the whole thing...)
Brilliant!

So, this is one of those year long extensions that isn't bad news?

This is an annual thing though, 30th Jan 2015 they extended until April 2016 www.wickedthemusical.co.uk/readnews.asp?id=114wkd Also still breaking their own ticket sale records doesn't sound like a show in trouble to me, doesn't appear like they have problem shifting tickets!

Are tickets for the 10th anniversary likely to go on sale on Monday? They were in the last booking period but no tickets available...

Yes - this is definitely a show which is not in trouble of any form. However, I suspect all of their new record breaking weeks are due only to price inflation, so this is really only a gauge that the show is not *losing* popularity, rather than gaining it.

I'm not booking tickets for 10th anniversary until we know what will be happening. If it's just a normal show with previous Elphabas etc onstage at the end I'm not going.

I know this is never going to happen but how amazing would it be for the tenth anniversary week to have a different Elphaba every show?
Monday: Idina Menzel Tuesday: Kerry Ellis (she should do the 10th day as she is the first British Elphaba Wednesday: Alexia Khadime Wednesday eve: Rachel Tucker Thursday: Louise Dearman Friday: Willemijn Verkaik Saturday m: Jennifer DiNoia Saturday e: Emma Hatton
Would destroy my bank account as I'd be seeing 8 wicked shows in one week and I know it will never happen as they hardly celebrated on Broadway, but one can dream!
(I am aware that the brilliant casting will no doubt be Emma Hatton and Savannah Stevenson extending!)

Does anyone know why we got Tom McGowan anyway? Not seen him and heard he is very good, but just wondering why someone like Mark wasn't cast in the first place? I doubt they were holding the spot for him!
I know people say it's the Equity link, and we got Jenny as the US had Gina and they got Rachel so we got Tom. But if this is true why didn't we get anyone when Kerry and Miriam went over to Broadway?

But if this is true why didn't we get anyone when Kerry and Miriam went over to Broadway? Because it's not a literal exchange... we didn't get Jennifer directly because they had Gina. If that was the case the book of Mormon broadway cast would have had English leads for the last couple of years. It equal as much as possible across the board not just per show (correct me if I'm wrong)

Natalie Andreou is on as Elphaba tonight (5th February, 2016) it's a bit ridiculous that Emma had more than two weeks off last month (including all last week) and she is missing shows already...

Ok now I'm not her biggest fan, but how do you know Emma hasn't twisted her ankle and needs to rest her foot?! There could be numerous reasons for calling out.......

Could have for all I know, it's still my opinion though and I am not going to change it because of "could haves" she's proven on more than one occasion she is inconsistent and when on she doesn't exactly give such stellar performances to make up for the absence, irregardless, I am very much looking forward to cast change. Wicked needs fresh blood
