Never saw that coming, how long did it run for this time?
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

It is a great show, it had a healthy run and I am very glad I got to see it in April, thankfully just before Mario arrived ! Farewell ACL Updated On: 6/3/08 at 08:25 PM
Admittedly, I always looked to this revival as "just sitting there" y'know? I mean NO ill will toward ANYONE involved, but for me, it was just 'filler'. Congratulations are DEFINITELY in order for a one heckova run! Recouping in 19 weeks!? That's quite a feat and deserves recognition in itself.
Now, I'm hoping the Schoenfeld is snapped-up by a new show!
This is pretty surprising. Since it recouped its investment, I thought it would run for much longer. Was it possibly pushed out by another show that wants the theatre?
I'm really hoping the best for all of the cast/creatives that really gave this show their all.
I agree with the poster who said that I wasn't alive for the beginnings of the first opening run. And also to echo the fact that when I saw this in July, there simply was nothing that I had seen previously that moved me like this show.
Jess Goldyn, Charlotte, Deidre, Jeff, and everyone else who was part of this wonderful show, please keep doing "what you did for love"
anything you do let it come from you and it will be new.
I had heard that the show wasn't really doing well but I hoped that sales would pick up this summer. This is definitely my favorite show and I'm glad I saw it more than a few times. Still really bummed that Mario Lopez will now be the final Zach.
Awwwwww........this is sad. I'm currently in rehearsals for a production of ACL this fall. It is truly unlike any other musical I've ever been in. I'm sad to see this production go away. We're supposed to be working with Charlotte D'Ambroise during rehearsals. I hope this doesn't effect anything. Good luck to the rest of the cast and congratulations on a great run!
Maybe someone will allow a upadated version of the show to be done. I know it totally crapped with RENT REMIX but it may be a neat idea....
Like what they are going to do w/ west side story.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
How sad. I really need to see it again before it closes. I saw it for the first time when the revival first started (I wasn't alive during the original production) and I didn't really appreciate it. But recently I've been listening to the OBC and I realized how powerful a show it truly is.
Also, does this mean that Mario will be the last Zach? (*groans*)
The show had a great run. It was a real treat for so many new fans to experience such a legendary part of theatrical history.
My guess is 9 TO 5 will take The Schoenfeld (since the producers first choice, The Hirschfeld, is booked.)
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
