My first time seeing the show! Not the best review writer but I’ll try. We got into the theater and I couldn’t see the cast board that well due to a parade of people trying to get to their seats but I didn’t see any understudy’s on the bottom so I got really excited. We got into our seats about 20 minutes before the show started so we waited…..and I was flipping though the playbill when I saw a tiny little slip sticking out of the bottom and I almost cried! “At this performance…. The role of Elphaba will be played by Coleen Sexton” I was so upset until the show started then I was like….ok, whatever and it began. We were like 8 rows away from the stage and it was perfect. I was so surprised with how small the stage was (you can’t tell by the picture) but it was great seeing it so close up. I wish we were closer but it was still great!
(Cell phone Picture)
^^ picture looks alot closer than what it was!
NMTW – The overture was great, so powerful and full of energy, the monkey’s “hoot hoot awweot” or whatever he said was funny! The curtain came up and the hologram of the witch was great. I never saw that on the various youtube videos. I loved it. Then the ozians started partying and shot streamers into the air and one landed by me (so I grabbed it at intermission). Christina came down and absolutely shined. She was so amazingly fantastic, little applause when she came down from the bubble. I at first thought she was a little to perky but she was perfect. I loved her riffs and high notes.
DOS – Ensemble was great and Coleen ran out all smiliy and got a huge quick applause. I really love this song, its one of my favorites but I loved the staging and lighting design in this scene. Christina’s cart came out like halfway through her “oooohhoohohohohooo shizzzzzzzzzzZ”
WAI – So amazing! Didn’t like Madam Morrible that much but she got better as the show got on. Too deep of a voice for me. Coleen absolutely shinned throughout this whole song. Her voice is so powerful and strong, the person sitting next to me turned and said “she’s a standby?”. Her last note was so clear and long it gave me chills. Huge applause!
WITF – Loved Christina and Coleen together, great chemistry. Christina was very funny. “all together quite impossible to describe (was hilarious)…..wait for it …..wait for it…..laughter…..wait for it…… BLONDE!! “ Coleen’s BLONDE was so funny!
DTL – I loved the newly added London scene. Clifton was great! I love the dancing in this song (did they change that with London??) The lighting design was absolutely stunning. “Mabey he saw green and thought it meant go” I love that line. Hilarious.
P- Christina was very hyper, but was fantastic and pulled it off. When the want didn’t work she through it up in the air and it landed backstage and some guy through it back on. It was funny! Toss toss by Coleen was funny, she like tossed her whole head around!
INTG – Great scene! Great chemistry!
OSD – Absolutely stunning!
ASM – I loved P. J’s Wizard. Really looked like a Wizard! Loved when he said “witch is witch”? – ANNOYING CELL PHONE GOES OFF!!!
DG – Absolutely stunning! As Coleen ran back I got so nervous cause I really wanted to see her go up and prayed that the lift worked! It did, and the lights were like so real! Ive only seen stuff on youtube and other places and didn’t think they looked so realistic live! After her Wizard And I, I would have thought the last note would be longer but it wasn’t but it was still long!
TG – Great
WWOTE – DeeDee is so amazing, her voice is so fantastic. I loved the whole thing!
W – Annoying Cell Phone Goes OFF AGAIN!!!
ALAYM – So great! Clifton was so amazing and Coleen was on fire! They have such great voices the whole thing was just breathtaking!
Cat Fight – Was great!
NGD – She walked out as The Academy has no room under the stage and the book on stand came up on a zig-zag lift thingy from the stage floor. (Whets with that? It looked horrible). The lighting design was so amazing! (Again im a lighting designer to be so I pay attention to these things) Coleen was so on fire that night.
FG – So amazing, so much chemistry between them they are so good!!!! Annoying cell phone goes off. Major tear dripper in the audience (not me but all around)
Finale – No well??? She came out of the floor! Since when does the Academy have room under the floor??? Oh well I liked it! Vocals were great!
-Most amazing night! – Went to stage door afterward...
Went to the stage door after the show. Coleen Sexton, Christina DeCicco, DeeDee Mango Hall, Clifton Hall, P. J. Benjamin.
Pictures... I cut myself out of them cause my picture doesn't need to be on the net.
In order
Clifton, DeeDee, Christina, P.J, Collen
They are all so nice and signed my playbill....(low quality phone camera shots)
These are some pics from my seat
Also before I went the the stage door, I snuck back in the theater to take a pic of the map curtain and the curtain started going up and they were testing all of the sets and stuff and I got a few pictures of that, but my camera is like horrible in certain lighting and of coruse it was in the theater so It didnt turn out as well I hoped but you can still see....
