I saw Jenna as Elphie this afternoon. I actually managed to win the lottery to get to see her, so that was cool. Meanwhile, as I waited in the lottery line, I saw her standing by the back door. I was like, "Isn't that Jenna Leigh Green?" And then I saw her bag. It said BARE on it, so I knew it was her. I chickened out and didn;t go and say hi, though.
Anyway, as for the show, I thought she was great. AND SHE FLEW!!!! Yay!!!! I was holding my breath when Defying Gravity started, praying that she would fly.
Acting wise, I thought she was one of the better Elphabas I have seen. Singing wise, she was fabulous as well, though to me, she seemed a little unsure of herself at first, but by the end of The Wizard and I, she had it.
She was also the cutest Elphie I've seen. She looked so cute, all green. She's so small. She was even shorter than Glinda. It made it hard for me to think anyone would be scared of her. But she pulled it off. The second Act, I thought she was incredible. No Good Deed was amazing, and she just broke my heart.
Anyway, my review is that she was awesome. I'd see her again as Elphie any day. So glad I won the lottery. :)

Posted: 4/13/05 at 6:45pmWell, she was on her cell phone most of the time and kept turning her back, so I kinda thought maybe she didn't want to be bothered. Mind you, I probably freaked her out by continuously staring at her...

Posted: 4/13/05 at 9:09pmDoes anyone know if she will be on again as Elphie before the run ends? I REALLY want to see her! I've seen it twice so far...once with Kristy/once with Stephanie and loved both their performances. Jenna just has such an amazing voice...I would love to see her. My friend and I have tried the lottery three times but haven't won...I just want one of those buttons! ha ha ha We did manage to get cancellation tickets for the matinee this Sat. If anyone knows of any furture Jenna dates, please post!!

Posted: 4/13/05 at 9:11pmI am so happy that this is happening for Jenna. I don't know her or anything, but she seems way cool. I'm just so shocked that she is such a good singer. I HATED her on Sabrina lol.

Stephanie isn't doing any matinees as of right now (Wed and Sat). Jenna did today's mat, so you probably have a good chance of seeing her on Saturday aft.

Posted: 4/13/05 at 9:37pmHey MissElphie- I was @ the lottery today too! Which were u? I saw Jenna as well and you're right she IS tiny ( mebbe a casting thing to make sure Elphaba height contrasts more?) She also looked a bit older than I thought too- (P.S. she had bought BAgels frm the Bagel Stop maybe I should bring her the Real bagels in TO)

I was the girl who FREAKED out when my boyfriend won. A bunch of people groaned cause I think one guy had the same first name as him. I think we were the 3rd or 4th people to be picked.
I saw the bagels as well...man, we're freaks. We don't go talk to her, but notice she has bagels...

Well she was on her phone & I don't like to interupt private time. ( the give away tho WAS the BARE opening night satchel) I know who u are now! U ran up b4 the BF! How cool! We need to get & wear the t shirts so we can ID each other @ such events?
Maybe we should organize a group meet like they do in N.Y. for the TO members? Any interest?

Posted: 4/13/05 at 11:42pmI would be SO excited if my friend and I got to see Jenna on Sat. I really want to see Stephanie again, but it sounds like Jenna is amazing. How many times did you two try the lottery before winning? I'm at three tries, 0 wins. It takes me about 1.5-2 hours to get to Toronto too, so not winning is rather disappointing. I think I may try on Tues. and Thurs. next week. Did you find that the lottery was less busy at the matinee?

If for whatever reason Jenna has the opportunity to go onstage as Elphaba in LA, I may just have to buy another set of tickets to see her.
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

Posted: 4/14/05 at 8:59amtaperina - with regards to lottery, I have definitely found that there are less people at Wednesday matinees. Saturday matinees still bring in a pretty big crowd though. I've tried with a group of about 5 friends on 5 or 6 different occassions. Out of all of us, I think 3 pairs of tickets have been won in total.

I promise I will let you guys know if she ever goes on again as Elphaba. She is really good at letting me know her dates. And by the way the reason she was frantic on her cell phone was cuz I was a bit late and she was freaking out....ooops.

Sabrelady: "I know who u are now! U ran up b4 the BF! How cool!"
Yeah, I think I almost pushed him out of the way before realizing it was HIS name that was called so I needed him and his ID to get the tickets. I was SLIGHTLY excited...
Sorry you didn't win. This was my second lotto try. My first was Sat night and there were like 200 people there. So don't give up hope!

I saw Jenna as Elphaba a few days ago, and she was AMAZING!!!
she had an amazing energy onstage, and you could tell she was having fun playing the part. her defying gravity was beautiful, as was no good deed. her and glinda (kendra kassebaum)were amzing together, their voices blended perfectly!
in my opinion, jenna's talent is being wasted on Nessarose, she deserves to play elphaba!
she's so cute green, and we met her at the stage door after the show and talked to her for a few minutes, she's so nice! the whole cast was really sweet, they all stopped and signed autographs for fans waiting after the show.
if she gets to play the role again in Toronto, I'm gonna buy tickets off of anyone!
hehe
