Thanks for putting Anne in a video. I've seen the show three times since they've been in town and she has been beyond perfect in all of them. p.s. She's now the stand-by for Elphaba.

[saraonwheels]

I know that this may be crazy, but in my opinion, I think that annaleigh ashford would make a great adult nala in the lion king.

[jewelchic]

I am not as familiar with Lion King, but I am sure you are right xxx

[saraonwheels]

well, the next time that you are in new york, you should go see it.

[jewelchic]

Good idea...I saw it in Australia years ago xxx

I love your videos! :]

[jewelchic]

[fuzzlylizzy]

What a beautiful theater!! And wow, you got to meet Annaleigh, I'm so jealous right now XD

[fuzzlylizzy]

She is! I wish she went on to do the tour

[jewelchic]

What is she up to now I wonder??? xxx

[Scottiepig]

You got to meet Dee???? I am insanely jealous of you right now! She was the BEST Elphaba ever!!!! Loved the video!! <|:)

[jewelchic]

Hey Erica and Dani!!! Dee is unbelieveable...not only a GREAT singer-but I loved her acting equally!!!!!! Thanks xxxxxxx

[Scottiepig]

Unfortunately she's departing the Broadway cast in June, BUT according to the rumors, she's going to be in the Wicked movie coming out on 2012!! *crosses fingers*

[jewelchic]

REALLYYYYYYYY??? I thought it might be the girl who plays Rachel in GLEE...i think she would be AMAZING too...any news on cast for the movie??? xxx

[Scottiepig]

I don't have any info on the cast, except that they were planning on using the original Wicked cast. [these are all rumors, but apparently...], Idina didnt want to play the role so they were going to give it to Dee once she was done with Broadway. I think Rachel from Glee would be good but she's a bit too young to play Elphaba, especially since the movie is going to be based more from the book. (So it doesnt take business away from the show.) They have the rights for the film to thats good news!

[jewelchic]

WOW-thought it would be like the show!!!!!! Hmmmmmmm xxx

[charmed1115]

i got anne on facebook =D and dee ended up on broadway!

[jewelchic]

Will you send her the link for this video??? I would Love her to see it-she really impressed me a LOT!!! xxx

[dantwaz]

Megan! Love the video! Thanks for posting it. Just reading the other comments on here and saw that your first Glinda was "Kristen" - as in Kristin Chenoweth? and Idina Menzel? I'm so jealous! They're are the ones who got me obsessed with Wicked - I was totally in love with Idina, have been for ages, then she was cast as Elphie. Totally in love with her hubby too just quietly! ha ha.

I find it so funny that Americans Can't say Megan, they always say Meggan, it's cute though he he.

Danielle x

[jewelchic]

Yes YES!!! Kristin and Idina-I WISH i could relive that...I would appreciate it SOOOOOOO much more now!!! Yeah-I know in the States they say Meggan, but I lived in Minnesota for a year,so I am kind of fond of it now!!!!!! xxx
