A Signed Playbill By A Bunch of the New Cast!!!


Notes:
They got a new cast I guess. I just went to the play a couple weeks ago and got a playbill, and I recieved this playbill and the whole cast is different. I guess they changed??? On the Wicked website it still has the one I saw up. It's kind of disappointing. Now, I'm having trouble making out half of the signatures, so If anyone cares to help me that would be great! Here's who I know for sure signed it. EDIT! This was the previous cast! I got an old playbill! Is this common? This is from July 2007. I'm going to write again. I want the current cast haha.

Julie Murney - Elphaba
Kendra Kassebaum – Galinda
Christy Candler - Nessarose
Jayne Houdyshell – Madame Morrible
Steven Skybell – Dr. Dillamond
Lenny Wolpe – The Wizard
Jonathan Warren - Chistery
Heather Spore – Ensemble
Noah Rivera – Ensemble
Kathy Deitch – Ensemble
Lindsay K. Northen – Ensemble
Cassie Levy – Ensemble
Ioana Alfonso - Ensemble
Brian Slaman - Ensemble
Kenway Hon Wai K. Kua - Ensemble
Clyde Alves - Dance Captain


I'll keep editing the post as I figure out the signatures.

Yes, it is unfortunately a common practice. For instance, if shows go to a Black/white playbill, often, for example, with Gypsy: they will ssave the playbill from June of this year, because firstly, Patti has a dress in red, it's in colour, and otherwise they're thrown out for the most part.

With Wicked, they quite possible could have playbills signed with Eden Espinosa for all I know. I saw this cast, and they were pretty good (although Julia Murney is no where near my favourite Elphaba's, Kendra is pretty amazing!)

This also looks in the days where Wicked had just about as many as they could sign. Now a days, you usually get about 6 signuatures, of the main and featured leads.

In another letter, I would really just make sure it's known that you have seen Kerry Ellis and whoever the other Elphaba is, or if you have an extra playbill send that and request it to be signed (It will probably be swaped with one that Ellis signed).

Best of luck!

Hello - Lovely success anyhow. Sorry, I don't quite understand, did you an old cast and get signitures of the new cast?

I got an old playbill signed by that cast. It was the cast from July 2007.
