I recall the dispute being over money. The dispute being over Laura Bell's contract.

IBF- We do know she flew to LA without giving any word to the producers, and I do know Kirstin was forced to go on with the neckbrace (I know, I was there one of those performances), and we know that the other u/s (Whoever she is) had a stroke. So, those facts line up to make the story incredibly plausible.
I remember hearing stories about Bundy making trips to LA without giving the producers any heads up. I never realized that they were during Chenowith's accident. That shows bad form on Bundy's part for sure.
I agree that there is a chance that the visits to LA happened during Kristin's injuries. This is because I agree with what has been said that the facts line up. That Kristin got injured and at the same time a Glinda standby/understudy had a stroke and Bundy left for LA at the same time.
Correct me if I am wrong. But, I remember reading somewhere that Bundy was going to replace Kristin if it wasn't for the fact that her unannounced trips to LA pissed off the producers.
And, as for the Idina/Kristin fighting stories. I remember a girl in my school who was a big Wicked fan saying that she read something about it in Page Six of the Post. As soon as I heard that, I automatically had trouble that they were 100 per cent true due to the fact that Page Six blows everything out of proportion.

I didn't know that Bundy was offerd the role for about three days then they went and cast someone else. I think that it is a good thing that they didn't cast her because her trips to LA showe the producers that she couldn't be trusted with the role full time if she had a track record of going when it was convinent for her and not letting anyone know.
Could it have been that the person who wrote the article thought that Bunday was going to get the role because she was Kristin's standby and they just assumed that the producers were going to bump her up? And, they didn't stop and think that they might cast someone else in the role?
Also, what was the name of the actress that got a stroke during her run in wicked?

I chose, and my world was shaken- So what? The choice may have been mistaken,
The choosing was not...

I thought this was a "rivalry/romance" thread. It's turning in to the "Laura Bell Bundy has no work ethic" thread instead. Bring on more rivalries. And please, nothing more about Wicked! Updated On: 5/27/08 at 10:47 AM
I am not trying to come of as too harsh. But, you have to realize two things. The first one is that being that this is an ongoing discussion, the topic of conversation does tend to change from what the original topic of the thread was.
And, secondly if people want to talk about Laura Bell Bundy's Work ethic or lack thereof then more power to them. Like I said originally, the topic of the thread does tend to change based upon the direction of the conversation.
