Great news! Just saw this in London and loved it. Hopefully the film will have home distribution as well

This is fantastic news! I've been dying to see the tour, hopefully with Allison Walsh, but this will be just as good (OBC at that).

YES! I absolutely love that all these brilliant shows are being filmed and released for the world to see. First She Loves Me, then Falsettos, and now this one! Yay!

Will this production be closing at a financial loss? Or was it always intended to play a year engagement?

I certainly hope for an Australian distribution--have heard such wonderful reports and from the little I've seen--fingers crossed.

Sweet Lips there is talk of an Australian production opening late next year in Melbourne. Announcement should happen in late December if all goes to plan

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

When I booked tickets, months ago, I thought I was seeing the last matinee on September 30th so I believe it's actually extended its run.

Enjoyed seeing this the other day. There was a 'BroadwayHD Original' title card as part of the opening credits; I hadn't realised BroadwayHD had got involved with this. It bodes well for the recording becoming part of their catalogue eventually.
