I've officially failed my Wicked blog. Sorry to say it's been about six weeks since I created an entry. I guess I have a few excuses....we've had tons of rehearsals, I hiked the Grand Canyon, I still have my new puppy, etc, etc....yes all excuses ; ) But it's time to write again because a lot has happened! First, we ended an era at Wicked a few weeks ago when we said goodbye to our four witches (yes, our Glinda, Elphaba, Elphaba standby and Morrible). They had a great run all of them and I hope they will be off to wonderful and magical things. We've welcomed in wonderful new cast members in the last several weeks and that will continue as several people have turned in their notices. If you have a chance to see us in our next few cities, our new cast is wonderful! I think you'll love them all.
I sort of glazed over the "hiked the Grand Canyon" above, but yes, I really did do that from the top to the bottom and back out again all in two days. It was the most amazing thing I've ever done. I highly recommend it. But be sure to train for it and plan ahead. We've had reservations for over a year and it was worth the wait!!!
Zoey is growing nicely. She makes friends everywhere she goes. She's just kind of one of those dogs that everybody likes. She just always looks like she's smiling ; ) Well, maybe not so much in this picture. This is more the "I own this couch" look LOL
So what's next for the Wicked tour? We get a new Wizard soon. We also lose ensemble members Marcie Dodd (who is going to Los Angeles to play Nessa in the LA company), Christeena Riggs, Celisse Henderson (Shen Shen) and others soon to follow. I guess that is the revolving door of Wicked.
Thanks for patiently waiting for a blog entry! I'll try to be better : )
