No Kendra? But she is in all the Instagrams from last night of other people who were there.

I’m curious, how did you get into the dress rehearsal?

[VotePeron]

I know it would've changed the tone of the event, but damn I really wanted Jessica Vosk to sing No Good Deed. She sings it so singularly, would've loved to have it preserved in some way.

Just special, I guess.

"No Kendra? But she is in all the Instagrams from last night of other people who were there."

Maybe she was there and I didn't notice her. They basically all came out at once and sang in pairs. I just assumed if SJB wasn't there then Kendra wasn't either.

Caught Cheno at the stage door after the performance.

Sounds thrilling, but beyond WICKED alumni no additional special guests apart from those announced?

Guessing it took longer to shoot because they wanted several shots, time, etc. in the airing, it should only Be an hour.

Kendra was definitely there - she paired off with Julia Murney.

Personally I thought they were both great. 

"Current Broadway Cast - One Short Day"

This was pre-recorded in its full staging at the Gershwin. I wonder if it will presented in its complete form or if it will be edited down.

Kristin - Popular (20/10)

She definitely stole the show. She had to re-perform the song at the end of the taping due to a technical error the first time.

Pentatonix - What Is This Feeling? (2/10)

This was a rather bizarre performance. 

Idina - Defying Gravity (7/10)

The orchestrations are weird for this. And Menzel wanted to re-record a portion of it, but was convinced to re-sing the entire song instead. 

Jackie Burns (during the dress rehearsal because Ariana "had a prior engagement" AKA sleeping) - The Wizard & I (10/10)

I actually like Grande's voice, but her diction is non-existent, and she performs as if she recently had a stroke? Can she not sing without her head being tilted or her eyes open?

Kristin & Idina (with past Elphabas and Glindas) - For Good (9/10 because there was no SJB, Kendra or Lindsay)"

This was a surprise because t didn't feel like anyone in the audience was expecting the extra Glindas and Elphabas. But Kendra was most definitely there. Also, she and SJB will get a little bit of screen time, as they featured quite a bit of footage from the original First National Tour promos.

Yeah, the weird thing about the Pentatonix performance was you’d expect the whole point of booking them was to get an a capella version of a familiar song, and the band accompanied them anyway.

I think the reason the Popular performance popped more than the others is they took the time to find a creative way of representing the song, other than just having a really talented singer belting (as silly as I felt holding up turned off camera phone.)

Idina singing Defying Gravity was still pretty great, but much less thought was put into the staging.

So did Jackie just do the dress rehearsal? If so, I'm a little surprised considering that she's the next tour Elphaba and also the longest running?

Amanda posted this picture of the Glindas in attendence. (Kristin not included)

Is anyone able to identify the second Glinda in the back row? I'm thinking maybe it's Katie Adams?

We have (l-r)

Laura Woyasz, ?, Kate Fahrner, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Kendra Kassebaum (back row)

Libby Servais, Kara Lindsay, Emily Mechler, Carrie St. Louis, Amanda Jane Cooper (front row)

Hi greenifyme2 - Could you possibly share the contact information for whoever you were in touch with to upgrade your ticket? I have a few questions about preshow stuff Tuesday and I haven’t been able to connect with anyone with answers. Thanks!!

I’m loving this so far!! Haha. Kristen’s popular performance was really fun!

Gosh, this brings back memories. Cherished memories.

If that was Ariana Grande’s “audition” for the film, I think it’s going to be a hard pass.

?Wicked Casting Team: Get Ariana far far far away from the Wicked movie?

I’m sick in my hotel room while on work travel and for some reason NBC is scrambled. I’m glad I have my DVR set to record it.

It does. I am in heaven. And about to cry probably...!

I thought that for good would be the last thing to make me cry, but then Kristen JUST had to mention Carole. Ugh. It’s time to go to bed.

Props to Cheno for her tribute to Carole Shelley.

Thank goodness they cut out that awful story Idina had to repeat 3 times about her in the ambulance
