Hi Wicked Fans and Friends!
Hope you are having a wonderful holiday and a rockin' New Year. I just had my vacation Chirstmas week so I got to spend the holidays with my family which was awesome! Now it's back to the Green Show. Lots of comings and goings happening lately here at Wicked. New witches, new Morrible and new Wizard, and they are all terrific! pPlus various new ensemble members too and they are great additions to the Wicked family too. As many of you know our own Marcie Dodd moved to the Los Angeles company as Nessarose, but I was able to catch a photo with her...yes, that's what we look like backstage before we've got our wigs on...glamours, huh? I've always thought it would be cool if audiences got to see what REALLY happens backstage. It's a whole show back there too. The other photo is me with Gregory Maguire who authored the novel Wicked. Her threw us a party in Boston. What a delightful human being he is!
So here's the catch-up. We spent a whole month in Hartford, CT....got to say, not my favorite place. For any of your Hartford residents, don't mean to offend, but we had some not so nice things happen while we were there including a cast member getting mugged and other getting her purse stolen at a private party...not cool. But St. Louis is fun and a great place to celebrate the new year with a view of the St. Louis arch.
We're headed next to Cincinnati, OH, which will be my last city. I've decided to return home to NYC and pursue some new projects. So February 3 will be my last day with Wicked for now. Then I jump right into a new gig, singing with the NY Ballet in NY and London!!! I'm super excited! I've never been to London (yeah, crazy I know) so I'm thrilled.
I'll keep this blog for a month or so after Wicked, but check back for my new blog that will continue to show the adventures of my career ; )
