Posted: 9/18/13 at 1:57pmEh she was okay when I saw her on tour. She paled next to Mamie Parris's dynamic Elphaba.

Posted: 9/18/13 at 4:50pmI loved her when I saw her in like 2008 but come on....bring new blood in, bring Jenn Gambatese in.

Really, I think I liked Mamie Parris less than any Elphaba I've seen. Maybe she was having an off night?

Posted: 9/18/13 at 5:14pmWhen was the last time a brand new Glinda starred in the Broadway production? No dis-respect to Alli (a job is a job, why wouldn't she take it?) but I really feel Wicked could do with some fresh meat. I know everyone's probably fed up hearing her name come up for things but.. Annaleise Van Der Pol, anyone?

And I'm literally crying of sadness for you for your lack of having any sort of a life.

Posted: 9/18/13 at 5:31pmSorry to piggyback but what is with all of this crying? Am I missing something about Alli Mauzey and Patina Miller that stirs such emotion?

Jenn Gambatese was horrible when I saw her on tour. She chewed the scenery, spit it out, and chewed it again. Plus, she simply doesn't have the voice for the role.
How about someone completely new? I surely do miss when Wicked attracted interesting talent instead of recycling the same old boring performers who should have stayed in the ensemble.

Posted: 9/18/13 at 6:38pmI agree that Jenn was not the greatest Glinda (I've also seen Kristin, Megan Hilty, and Kendra Kassebaum in it) - her voice didn't fit the role to me. Dee Roscoli also took a while for me to warm up to, but by the end I really enjoyed her.

Posted: 9/18/13 at 6:42pmShe's actually my favorite Glinda. Her voice is incredible to me. Glad I get to see her again.

Posted: 9/18/13 at 6:47pmJust to let you guys know, I wasn't actually crying. I used the word crying to describe how I felt.

"I'm literally crying tears of sadness."
Oh. Yeah, obviously it's our fault that you don't know what the word "literally" means and we should have known you weren't really crying when you said you "literally" were.
Totes duh.

#16Alli Mauzey is returning to Wicked.... again
Posted: 9/18/13 at 8:00pmI also agree that Jenn was not the best. Way too campy...

Posted: 9/18/13 at 8:01pmIf wicked keeps up with this reuse of talent I think it may really lose it's charm. I'm not saying that these performers aren't talented, quite the contrary, but when someone is playing a role for so long they tend to lose that special spark. I'd really love to see some new life in this show. Either way it'll be around for a LOOOONG time.

"When was the last time a brand new Glinda starred in the Broadway production?"
Jennifer Laura Thompson was last the person who was never a standby or understudy or recycled person to play the role. I'm guessing that it is difficult here in America to find a actress with a soprano voice for this role. The replacements for the role of Glinda in the West End production were all fresh faces.

I am literally going to cry because of your lack of compassion, ljay. Also, you are missed. Stop by more often... Summer is over. It's safe to do so!

Really? There are tons of girls who would love to play this role. They really can't find anyone from the pool of young actresses that are auditioning?
I also agree, Jenn wasn't the best Glinda and her voice sounded strained on some of the higher notes. On the other hand, Alison Luff was amazing (Elphaba).
