Of any A-Listers I would certainly say Lady Gaga. Out of anybody, I think Samantha Barks is the perfect choice. I said it when she sang Defying Gravity on I'd Do Anything, but her voice has grown so much in the last 11 years that I would love to see what she does with the role.
Full Dream Cast:
Elphaba: Samantha Barks, Lady Gaga, Vanessa Hudgens
I went with Row B, still ended up paying the $399 each for the four of us going. I'm sure it will be great to see the puppet that close even if its not a great show.
I am looking to buy tickets to King Kong, and I want the best seats possible. On Telecharge they have "KONGPREM" seats for $399.00 and it is Center Orchestra, Row A. Does anyone know if that is actually a great seat? I'm not interested in hearing whether or not I should spend that kind of money on Kong, I just don't want it to be too close to the stage.
Alternatively, they have Center Orchestra, Row B for $275.00. Which would be a better seat option?

I have some issues with Lea Michele, but she is talented. I would easily go see this show again for this duo, and they have amazing chemistry which would be incredible. Now I can't get this idea out of my head..

I think there is alot of possibility there. She has a gap in her Vegas residency from February to May of next year.. The producers could be waiting to see how she is in A Star Is Born but have given her a temporary offer. She could win three Oscars essentially, Score, Song and Actress. I would love for that

Sauja said: " Of the three musicals that have opened so far, I’m astonished to say that I think Head Over Heels is the best of the bunch because it’s merely very bad but at least isn’t offensive."
I appreciate that he mentions how Samantha Barks is recreating Julia Roberts' performance. Perhaps it was a directorial choice. But it made me wonder why I came
I don't know why people think that the Brooks Atkinson Theatre will be open come spring.. Waitress is still bringing in steady numbers and to my knowledge hasn't fell below $720K which is enough to cover the weekly running costs. Plus it has already recouped, I feel like it still has AT LEAST till the end of next year.
EDIT: I stand corrected, it seems like there have been a couple weeks where it went below that, however, not since last year. It's doing well.<

I find it funny how when she was announced there was so many people saying she was a terrible choice, and what were they thinking and now it all changed. I was, I think, the only person that said she WOULD be incredible. I love that she proved all of you wrong.
