Wicked in Providence! (&how to Wicked lotto)

For my 36th time at Wicked, I tried to see the 1st national tour in Providence, RI. It was a GREAT day, but if you're confused about what happened, here is a synopsis:
My dad and I began driving down to Providence, and at 11:30, we entered our names into the Wicked ticket lottery. I was the first names picked, and my dad was the second (but, of course, he didn't need to the tickets, since I had already won two for us.) We claimed our tickets, walked around for an hour and a half, and then went into the show. Chandra and Donna were both out, so we saw Meredith and Marissa (who were both AMAZING!) I AM NOT TRADING/SELLING PICS FROM THIS OR ANY SHOWS. We then went to the stage door, where we met both Meredith and Marissa. And we, of course, ended the day with a signature slow motion running clip. :)
Enjoy, and thank you for commenting/rating/subscribing! Love you all!

Speaking of Meredith as Elphaba, did you hear about an incident that happened with her during the show one time in Cleveland? During I'm Not That Girl, a drunken, obscenity-filled brawl broke out in the audience and she just kept on singing while the Police was arresting the lady. After the song, she got a huge standing ovation!

@broadwaymike92 Yes, I did hear about that. It's unfortunate that someone could be so incredibly rude like that. People like that are disgusting. Thanks for watching! xx

Wicked Rocks! I caught 5 understudies when I saw it in August 2004. Kristin Chenoweth left a month before I saw it and Idina Menzel was filming a movie for the summer. These were my understudies!

Eden Espinosa (Idina Menzel) as Elphaba

Sean McCourt (George Hearn) as The Wizard

Jan Nueberger (Carole Shelly) as Madame Morrible

Anthony Galade (Sean McCourt) as Witch's Father

Adniah Alexander (Jan Nueberger) as The Midwife

@broadwaymike92 So jealous that you got the see Sean McCourt as The Wizard! I always love how the guys in the witch's father/swing track in the ensemble end up portraying The Wizard. It's a unique take on the role. Thanks for watching! xx

@wickedchicago Dee is amazing! But so far my favorite is Teal Wicks!

[wickedchicago]

@jaszon28 Not sure! I've been pretty busy over the last year actually being in shows rather than seeing them. I'm sure I'll see Wicked again someday, but it's just not a priority right now. :)

@jaszon28 I ended up seeing it 40 times and had to stop about a year ago. It got to be a little much and wasn't enjoying it anymore, haha. I believe, overall, my favorite Elphaba was Dee Roscioli.

@wickedchicago I hate when people are so disrespectful to others while watching the show! I have a friend who was there the night Patti LuPone flipped an audience member for taking 3 illegal pictures of her while singing Rose's Turn! It's on YouTube!!

Marissa is amazing! I know her! =) Would love to see her in DC or Hawaii!

Saw Wicked for the first time and loved it! In NYC w/ Katie Rose Clarke.

@wickedchicago Meredith was the heroic Elphaba of the night with no distractions! Even one time the fire alarm went off during NO GOOD DEED, she keeps on going until she was told to stop! Thank God she's not like Patti LuPone or Hugh Jackman when they freak out!

Marissa Is Awesome

[broadwaymike92]

@wickedchicago I had no idea I was going to see him. Joel Grey was suppose to stay in the show longer till Idina left in January but he left in July, same as Kristin due to a I think a surgery he had. Sean did a great job and I met him after the show. Only 5 people came out actually. Did you see Sean as the Witch's Father? My friend also saw him as Dr. Dillamond.
