Alles, was thematisch damit zu tun hat, bitte hier rein.
Es gibt in London schon Hardcore-Fans, die seit dem 24.12 vor dem Box Office bei Apollo Victoria Theatre campieren um Dayseats zu ergattern...
Respekt, bei dieser eisigen Kälte..

"As most of you obviously already know, this is Idina Menzel's final show. This is Idina Menzel's final performance of Wicked with us here in London, and probably her final performance as Elphaba - the role she so stunningly created - ever. I think I speak on behalf of everybody on stage, back stage and everyone who has sat in those seats for the last four months, when I say what a joy and privilege it has been to have her here. You all know and love her as Elphaba, but we all know and love her as Idina. That is why.. When my agent rang me and told me I had the part, nothing was more terrifying than the prospect of sharing a stage with the Idina Menzel. With her Tony Award winning reputation that goes with it. I'd heard her on the cd! And I was totally terrified by the thought of having to compete with such incredible talent. But in the 6 months we've been working together, Idina and I never been any competition. Right from the beginning she has offered herself as a collaborator, friend, company entertainer and a true leading lady" Idina then interupts and says "thank you" and Helen says "I'm not finished yet having not only created the role from the earliest beginings of the creative workshops but also having played her for a year and a half on broadway she would be forgiven for coming to the rehersal process with some preconceptions, er, infact it can't have been easy waiting for the rest of us to catch her up, stumbling with our lines, standing in a new position everyday, hitting ourselves on the head with our wands... repeatadly, failing utterly to swing in on ropes, but she was never impatient, or intolerant, in fact quite the opposite, she came to the process to rediscover the story with an open heart, a clean slate and a new family. Idina's generosity onstage and off as an actress and as a girl made a daunting prospect the most joyous experience I've had in my career so far, and i know that she has touched every member of this company in a similar way... The word diva has had some bad press but to me, the true mark of a diva is how she carries herself and thats got something to do with humility, her groundedness, an ability to laugh at oneself without expectations... Seeing Idina in one of London's poshest bars, holding a small tin of crisps, unable to get a meal and exclaiming "they said I was going to be the toast of the town" or the look on her face as she valiantly tried to learn from someone who shall remain nameless, the true and correct way of how to bow before royalty, made me realise that a true diva is loveable, she is humble, generous, she is awfully talented, admired by all, she is the toast of town. she is Idina Menzel. we wish you all the success with your album and everything you take on next, and know that here in London, you will be sorely missed and on a personal level, you will always be with me, like a handprint on my heart."

idina war nunmal die erste elphie, und ich dachte das zu übernehmen wär doch ganz nett. zumal ich abschiedreden immer rührend finde.
das alte forum ist nun weg, und wenn jetzt neue kommen die es interessiert, die wissen gar nix davon.
deswegen hab ich es halt mit rübergenommen.
