Sat Row A Seat 30 - thank you Emz and Lucy who day ticketed for me and Danni =D
No-One Mourns The Wicked
Right - this was just exciting sitting front row all up close and can see everything really well and you take in so much more. Monkeys come acrobating everywhere and then the curtain goes up and cast is there - my first time seeing new cast [and No Helen *sob* Dallimore] so was excited..
All singing sounded great love the new cast! Sarah comes down in her bubble and us front row peoples and probably others start clapping. Sarah was amazing - I love her as Glinda! She was awesome! "Exactly how dead is she?" *WHACK* <-- LOL!
Dear Old Shiz
Kerry Ellis comes on stage and we're all clapping and shes smiling and then the song starts. And she sings along to the beggining of the song quietly, then just randomly scares people because she's green. Great singing here from the ensemble! Glinda enters on her luggage thing which I always find cool and they all 'zzz' at Elphaba. Kerry drops suitcase which I preffered to Shona whacking it down on the floor! And she does the "No, I'm not seasick, yes I've always been green and NO I did NOT eat grass as a child!" Funnyness hehe [=
Head Shiztress comes on and we have the "I'm beautifully tragic" bit which is always funny! Then the sorcery bit with Glinda oh and "Glinda Upland...of the UPPER Uplands...!" Then the wheelchair bit where Nessa is spinning round and round, and Kerry really looks like she's controlling it.
The Wizard And I
This was absolutley amazing! Kerry riffs on some parts which was awesome! Love this song love Kerry singing it because it is just absolutley awesome. Gotta love Kerry!!! It was nice to hear her sing this live because I had listened to it on the radio the day before so was excited to hear it sung again by Kerry Ellis!
What Is This Feeling
I got excited that I was so close to the stage and was trying to read Glinda's letter through the back and just made out fancy writing! Love this! Kerry's "Your voice" was awesome and just the whole song was awesome. Great dance from the ensemble. Oh and Sarah couldn't get the letter into the purse at first so when she was meant to put it away she was trying to open the bag. Then walked onto the stage and finally opened it so shoved it in there. This song is so excited! Great "Boo!" "Aaah" *cackle* made me laugh =D
Something Bad
Classroom scene went well, Andy was a good Dr Dillamond but I preffered Martin Ball. Not one of my favourites but still enjoyed it with the "CCCCCCClinda." and the "It's GAlinda. With a GA." Watched out for Kerry's NutriGrain bar because I was just interested in that for some reason.
Dancing Through Life
This was awesome. No accent from Kerry today just normal "I don't care who this is" Great dancing and singing from everyone here. I love this so much! The hat-giving bit was cool and I just generally loved all the dancing and singing in this. Oh yeah Boq's over-exagerated wink to Glinda when he wheels Nessarose off-stage was hilarious it was just so...big! Dancing was really cute with Elphie and Glinda dancing together and ShenShen and Pfannee just like "What is she doing...?" faces.
Popular
This was absolutley hilarious! Sarah is crazy! And Kerry kept trying to make me laugh by pulling faces but they were really disguised and she's just trying to stay serious, I was like "Umm what shall I do, I'll just smile" and then turning to other people in the front row. Sarah was awesome I loved her Popular! It wasn't even Popular anymore it was Popula. Nearly strangling Elphie on the "Now that I've chosen to become a pal". The toss-tossing bit was just hilarious with Kerry's imitations hehe and the "Your whole life is going to change..and all because of ME! EEEEEEEEEEEE!" an excited hyper Glinda! As soon as Elphaba leaves it's like "Youre welcome OH HELLOOOOO!" which was hilarious! Gotta love Sarah!
Lion Cub Scene
This went quite well Fiyero just makes me laugh "and I am deeply shallow" I think Fiyero just makes this scene interesting...
I'm Not That Girl
Aww this song is so sweet and it has so much emotion in it - got distracted by Kerry's earring glistening in the light and then focused on her singing again and the song.
Kerry looked so sweet when she was excited about seeing the wizard it was like such a happy face looking so excited!
The bit before OSD was great, "He's not even perfect anymore and I STILL want him!" was funny and "Elphaba I've been thinking" "Yes I've heard" was funny too [= Kerry was so trying not to laugh while Glinda was just going "I've been thinking about that day alot..." and the changing of name bit so Kerry just looked at Oli and smiled during that bit.
One Short Day
I loved this it was so exciting! Green, it was positivley emerald! Random ensemble member looking around the front row thinking we can't see through the glasses...the flatheads were funny and I just loved this whole song it was amazing!
Grimmerie Scene
This was good - "Can I touch it?" *Wide eyes, whisper* "NOOOOO..." was funny. Then the casting of the spell and stuff and a shocked Elphaba and a pleased Wizard.
Defying Gravity
This blew me away - I've seen Kerry before but I was shaking after this song and I couldn't stand up untill a certain amount of time passed! I love Kerry! Went really well and great great great vocals from Kerry I was just screaming and clapping madly after this and then shaking!
Interval - called Lizzy generally going hyper and telling her how amazing it is!
Thank Goodness
This was great, lovley vocals from everyone especially Sarah/Glinda. Lovley but so wanted to just go "Elphaba's not evil!" and shout and Morrible. So sweet when Fiyero and Glinda are talking, and after Fiyero leaves Glinda is so hearbroken...
Wicked Witch Of The East
This was good, Elphaba hiding in a wardrobe just made me laugh even though I've seen it before. Katie did well in this but I recon she could have done alot better than that but it wasn't bad. Tin Man Boq was good too.
Wonderful
This was good, when Wizard puts his hat on Elphaba's broom Kerry's face was like "Who the hell do you think you are, putting your hat on my broom" with a mixture of "WTF?" Then a happy Elphaba dancing around with the wizard and then the monkeys being freed, like that bit just all these random monkeys everywhere and Elphaba in the corner.
The guards bit and the loss of love between Glinda and Fiyero was good, really sweet.
I'm Not That Girl
Really sweet this song is, Glinda being really upset because she was just so happy earlier now she's just really really upset.
As Long As Your Mine
This was great lovley harmonising with Kerry and Oli. Kerry obviously trying not to laugh in this song, but really great - so glad I heard Oli again because the man who sung this on the radio with Kerry was rubbish!
"You can stay in the castle - no one lives there." "Well where do you live?" "The other castle" as if it's the most obvious thing in the world! The flying house and stuff was good too
Catfight Scene
This was absolutley hilarious!
A confused Glinda then upset and Elphaba coming along, and Glinda trying to be nice. Loved the slaps and Kerry has the best cackle ever it just rocked! Wand twirling was great, still miss Helen's ferocious jump twist thingy though!
Okay and then Oli swings on from the vine looking all proud and then "LET THE GREEN GIRL GO" and everyone just bursts out laughing soon after this and then we're just clapping and Kerry is just shaking and trying her hardest not to laugh was hilarious, Oli grinning then trying to be serious and not laugh, Sarah just trying not laugh out loud! It was just hilarious I was expecting Kerry to start laughing because it just looked like she couldn't hold the laughter in any longer! But then they got through the scene well.
No Good Deed
Oh my god I loved this it was just amazing, so much power and energy and feeling in this song! It's like "WHOAH" then loads of clapping. Kerry's last "again" was the best it was like "aaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaainah" which was totally awesome!!!!
March of the Witch Hunters
Just really angry and powerful and I was looking out for the noose haha and the Morrible and Glinda bit "Just smile and wave" Glinda looked so sad that she had to wave while they were all just being angry together.
For Good
"They're just a pair of shoes...let it go!" *breathes* - hilarious
"What where you - raised in a barn or something?" - hilarious!
The song was so sweet I was almost crying here before I remembered Wicked Day tommorow so I didn't cry which is weird because I usually do however I did have watery eyes!
The melting scene was so sad it always makes me feel really upset and just sit there with tears running down my face, and then when Glinda picks up the hat and goes "Elphie?" is just heartbreaking.
Finale
Really sweet and really good - felt sorry for Elphaba who had just lost her only friend, and Glinda didn't know what happened at all.
Loads of clapping and screaming for everyone and standing up for everyone including ensemble! They were all awesome!!!

Stage Door Randomness
Okay this was so embarassing! I asked Kerry for a picture and gave the camera to Danni's dad, who then pressed the off button instead of the one to take the picture. So I said sorry to Kerry who said "It's ok, just catch up with me in the line when it's working again" so I did and then Danni's dad pressed the wrong button again! So then I told him ONCE AGAIN NOT TO CLICK THE GREEN BUTTON!!! So I got next to Kerry and then Jack just walked into my leg and around me so Kerry's like "Oi Jack, you're getting in the way!" and just walks around me. So this time it worked and I was like "I am so sorry Kerry about the camera, I'm really sorry!"
