"No, I'm not seasick" - or - Intros, Round 2

[ElphaZach]

Hi, I am Zach. I am a huge Oz fan, I have been my whole life, I am also a collector w/ over 450 Oz items. I just found out that Wicked existed in 2001 & I didn't know anything until 2003. When I found out about the play I looked up some stuff & got interest. I got the cast album for Christmas, I love it! I just got a hold of a copy of the book in January, the book is great, although I'll say some details made me say "Whoa! TMI!", may not be compliant to the original books, but it is still great in its own right. I hope to see the play this summer.

First post. Hell yes. Here we go.

My name is Alana. I'm 13. I know, I know, I'm young. But I have an uber late birthday... so 14 if we're flexible? And I always do my best to hold my own, so hopefully I'll do good here with you guys. I certainly want to. You all seem really nice.

Anyway, about Wicked. I'm just generally really involved in the theater community, and I've known about the show for awhile. Soon some theater friends of mine went to go see it and would NOT stop raving, so I decided I simply had to see it. Also because it had Idina Menzel, and she's one of my idols.

Anyway, I'm going to curtail it here, because paragraph after paragraph is getting to be hella strenuous on the eyes. So yea, thanks for being cool and having me you guys.

*BTW, I apologize now for any jumbled thoughts, spelling mistakes, or grammatical errors, It's really, really late. I'm really, really, tired."

Hope to join in some good discussions soon!

Well, I'm re-introducing myself. I'm Nancy, a freshman in high school, 15 going on 16 this year.

I saw Wicked in December when I went up to NYC for my Christmas present, I actually hadn't planned on seeing it. But I bought the CD when I went up and decided I HAD TO HAD TO HAD TO see this show. So we got cancellation tickets and I loved it, especially Idina. I'd loved her on the Rent cast recording, so it was cool to see her live.

I love the book too, I'm reading it for the 3rd time now! *Yero, my Hero.. awww!*

I don't think there's anything else now, is there?

[CellBTango]

yes! i have finally joined. thanks to the thropp.
my name is summer and im from los angeles. i make it a necessity to go to NYC at least one a year and everytime i always make sure to watch as many shows as humanly possible. i love musicals basically.
um...not much to say really other than wicked is an amazing show but im sure everyone (should) know that. iv liked broadway musicals and seen broadway musicals all my life and by far wicked is one of top musical productions that i have seen. im still in shock about the whole show and im still trying go over every moment of the show in my mind.
so...yay! i've joined and i can't wait to start posting!

Welcome everyone! Since everybody else is re-introducing themselves I guess I will too. My name is Jeni and I'm a senior in high school. I live in Jersey. I have seen Wicked 3 times so far, 4th time on March 6th, and it will be 6 times by June! It is my favorite Broadway show ever! Everything in it is amazing! Idina Menzel is my idol. I will do anything in my powers to get her to remember me. I met her once, almost twice, so far, and hopefully that will keep adding on! Enjoy posting everybody!

Welcome, CellBTango: A Chicago fan, I'm guessing?

Hi, I'm Kristina. Obviously I'm a Wicked fan . I saw Wicked in November and only once, but I might get the chance to see it again. I am 18 and I go to Seton Hall University. I am a history major, so maybe I could be the "Oz historian!"
I am a fan of the original Oz books and so I wanted to read the Wicked book and then I heard that it was going to be a musical. I thought that was a little strange, but after getting details about it and seeing it, I realize it had to be a musical. Verdigris is soo awesome and now I know that there are other crazy fans! And I love "Yero the Wonder Winkie" by the way.

Hey Guys!
I'm Jill. I'm 15 years old, and im a freshman at CHHSE. i love singing, acting, writing music, playing guitar, and going to Camp Harlam.

i first fell in love with [glow=red,2,300]WICKED[/glow] when my director (Robert Nation) took some actors from our department (including me) to see Little Shop of Horrors revival on broadway. i read about it in the playbill and immediately got the CD when we went over to The Colony (an amazing music store in NYC). I fell in love at first listen.

i am currently working on The Sound of Music with my high school, i am a nun and Frau Zeller (wife of Herr seller, a nazi official). This year i was also in a festival of one acts, and Grease this past fall with CHHSE as well. our show opens march 5th and runs for the 1st 2 weekends in march. ;D

on march 27th, i am going with my school to take Grease (our fall production) on tour to California until April 4th. we are performing at Palos Verdes, University, and Farifax High schools.

i am going to see [glow=red,2,300]WICKED[/glow] on April 18th. i was supposed to go see it december 5th, but i had Opera Night for the vocal dept at my school.

well.. thats all!
<3 Jill

Hi, my name is Amy. I'm an 18 year old freshman at Seton Hall University, and I'm a math major. I have a twin sister named Kristina, aka ElphiatShiz. I am a HUGE fan of Wicked and the show turned me to listen to Idina's other music recordings. I hope I can see the musical as many times as some others on this site, however, it's only been once so far. I'm glad this site exists to share the Wicked passion!

Welcome to the board, Amy. Hope you feel like there is no place like Verdigris soon.

Wow...two sets of sisters on the board. Hmmm...maybe I should try to get my little sister Terry to join. I know she liked the show, but I don't think she's obsessed as I am. hehehe...
