Joel Grey just introduced, WICKED PERFORMING DEYING GRAVITY NOW!!!!!!!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

That was sad compared to what it is during the show.

You could see the buckle on her cloak, it wasn't folded under.
You could see her dress through the fabric, making it appear like her gown didn't expand. Kristin didn't sing "I hope you're happyyyyyyy" (was expecting it, though I don't think that was in the show).
Still a nice performance, though.

Definitely not up to par with what goes on at the Gershwin, but exhilarating none the less. The goosbumps still came, and the crowd loved it. Congrats the cast---they did a fabulous job, and I'm crossing my fingers for Idina tonight.
I love Idina. I think Defying Gravity is one of two good songs in Wicked. But the gasping. I couldn't take the gasping. It was one notch too Brenda Vaccaro for me.
She gasped in her acceptance speech, as well as the performance, and every night at the Gershwin. It's her thing, I guess. It distracts me. I really don't like it. But I'm glad she won. Seriously, I was really hoping she would win the award.
