Oz speed, Wicked whores!

[ellixian]

1. So, after a HUGE, yummy Japanese buffet dinner yesterday night, mirime and I headed home to... errr, watch Wicked. *ahem* And it was, predictably, awesome. There's something about seeing the actresses sing THAT score - that irresponsibly written score - up close, acting the heck out of it even as they're, well, screaming their faces off. This was...

LOL IDINA. I love how some random fan made up awesome harmony there at the end. Have you seen Eden's extremely faily drunk Defying Gravity? I don't have time to look it up now, but you should check it out. I haven't been youtubing Eden a lot or anything.

Hi, Julia!Elphaba! Awww. She's so pretty. I think they do something different with her wig in Act II that makes it look less like her hair is going to eat her, which might have to do with the increase in sexy. For this picspam, you get my favorite Julia!Elphaba icon.

DUDE, TRACIE THOMS AND EDEN ESPINOSA. FTW. Now I'm gonna have to go see Rent AGAIN (erm, I'm trying lottery again today). Maybe that explains why Tracie was in the audience the other night!

ISN'T IDINA PRICELESS. I love how she basically gives it up for lost by the end - she knows she's never gonna remember the right lyrics! It's moments like this, mixed in with all that awesome riffing, that make me go... Awww, Dee. ♥

I think I HAVE seen that video of Eden singing DG, but ages and AGES ago. Back when I was spamming Wicked exclusively everytime I got online. Methinks it's time to LOOK IT UP AGAIN. You youtubing Eden? NEVER.Oooh, good point about the wig. Her wig in Act I is pretty scary. But it's definitely also make-up. She has much darker lipstick in Act II, which helps define her features more, IMHO. Plus, being Julia and therefore being awesome, she carries herself differently in Act II too. SOMEHOW SHE IS JUST PRETTIER. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT. Icon

[llyfrgell]

Agreed, Idina's dorky cute moments = ♥

I did a cursory search for that Eden video - it's been a while since I've seen it too - but I literally have to walk out the door for Rent lottery right this second and I couldn't find the right vid.

Juuuulia. That is all.

Maybe I can convince Amanda to do Rent lottery with me again when Tracie takes over as Joanne - she won't do it otherwise. I'm going with Wes (non-flaily Julia fan) today. Amanda miiiight kill me a little if I saw Wicked without her! But she's seeing it without me in October, so maybe she can bite me. ;-)

OKAY, OUT THE DOOR.

[ellixian]

EEEK. *SENDS GOOD LUCK VIBES OUT THE DOOR AFTER YOU*

No worries, I shall hunt down Eden and her faily drunk rendition of DG. Shouldn't be TOO hard. ;)

I think you've mentioned this before - about Amanda seeing Wicked without you. Or have you? How come though? Tickets have already been bought? And OMG. The trifecta of Kerry, Kendra & Aaron. WTF. I THINK SHE SHOULD BITE YOU. GO LOTTO WICKED ASAP.

[llyfrgell]

Wooo, good luck vibes worked! Yay more Rent. (Edit because Wes is gone and I can ramble more now: Mmph Eden. I've found the flail, dammit. Would it be too much to try to see it again once Tracie joins the cast?)

When you find the Eden vid, tell me the link? I CANNOT FIND IT, RAR. (Edit: Okay, I found it, but it's not on youtube anymore - it's here.)

(Your layout is fail for trying to read the comments, by the way. Grey on white = difficult.)

Oh yeah, Amanda won tickets for October, but a friend from home is coming to see it with her. Boooo. So I wouldn't feel THAT guilty for seeing it without her!

[ellixian]

OMG you are so becoming a baby Renthead now. ;) Kidding! I'd go for Eden and Tracie if I could, oh god. And no, it's definitely not too much. One more viewing of Rent before September? Seriously. Not excessive.

Oh thanks for uploading it for me! I didn't watch it, though I DID watch the other vids my friend linked to of Eden singing For Good and what not. She's quite awesome.

(Your layout is fail for trying to read the comments, by the way. Grey on white = difficult.)

Well, that's the deciding factor. I was wondering what I'd do today, and have been thinking about changing my layout for a while. MWAHAHA. LET'S DO IT. And yes, the comments thing always bugged me a lot too. Bah.

GO WATCH WICKED. LOTTO IIIITTTT.

[llyfrgell]

(I am so confused as to why this comment JUST now showed up in my inbox when it says it's from like eight hours ago! Either lj or gmail is mixed up somehow.)

Stupid Rent. I didn't care much about it at all before this summer! *is oddly resentful of the show for being addictive* We'll see if I manage to get there again before it closes - August is a CRAZY month for me. Though apparently Tracie starts in a week! Not much notice there.

Oh, I didn't upload! Found the link gifted on broadwayshare when I figured out that it had been taken off youtube. Gee, I can't imagine why Eden wouldn't want a public video of her messing up DG and flicking everyone off.

Now I feel like I was kind of mean to your layout. :-\ It's pretty! Just...hard to read in parts. But layout changing is fun! I wish I knew more about how to make lj do things.

WILL GET RIGHT ON THE WATCHING OF WICKED. MAYBE LOTTO TOMORROW.

[ellixian]

No no, I JUST this moment sent it, but maybe it's on my time setting or on London time or something. So don't worry, it's just the time stamp is being retarded

[llyfrgell]

Oh good, relieved about the timestamp. Why am I still up, by the way

[ellixian]

Dude. Why ARE you still up?! You're turning into me. And while I approve, in theory, how are you going to lotto Wicked if you don't go to bed NOW?!!? *pokes you*

Oh goodness with the August schedule. You weren't kidding when you said that month is going to be all kinds of INSANITY. :( Take care! Find time for shows, those are important! How come you're making that sudden trip back to Indiana though? Hope everything's okay?

INTERVIEWS OMFG. I don't envy you those. :( I hate interviews with a passion and am SO BAD at them. Please to be keeping us posted so I can keep my fingers crossed for you.

New layout and header all done, LOL. Can we say obsessive? Because that's what I most certainly am... :D

[llyfrgell]

I, er, slept through the lottery. Whoops. Will try it on Tuesday! It's much harder to sleep through a 6pm lottery than a 12pm one. :-D

*boggles at August* I'm only going home because my grandparents (who practically raised me, aren't going to be around much longer, etc) were complaining that they weren't going to see me between early May and late November - so I wedged a trip in between the interviews. Maybe not the smartest thing I've ever done!

I actually kind of like interviews? They don't stress me out, at least - I'm just concerned that I'll go in and enjoy it and think I did well, and then not get any callbacks at all. Am excited about some of the firms, though - there are several that are very involved in theatre law (I know, how fun would that be) and several others that have lots of overseas offices where I might be able to work for half the summer. Yay free trip to somewhere cool?

SO MUCH EASIER to comment now, yay! Layout/header are pretty.

[ellixian]

Awww at oversleeping. It's okay, I woke up at 3pm. I'd have totally missed the lotto too. (Actually I would never be able to make matinees if I lived in NYC, LOL.)

Ouch about the tight tight schedule. :( But it'll be nice to see your grandparents, yes? I just hope August won't drive you mad. IT'S OKAY. THINK OF AUDIOS OF EVITA TO KEEP YOURSELF SANE.

Btw. OMFGJM. TOMORROW. *flails*

Wow, you're a far better person than me at being grown-up then. ;) Interviews get me SO nervous, and I still feel like a complete kid when I go for them. Not that I've had one in about six years. :P Those firms sound GREAT. Half the summer overseas would be brilliant - plus, no awful hot New York weather! - and theatre law?! OMFG YES PLEASE.

LOL. I APPRECIATE THE NEW LAYOUT TOO. Thanks for getting me off my butt to actually CHANGE the darn thing.

[llyfrgell]

Oh, I have actually slept through (well, not gotten up in time to get to) matinees for which I actually had tickets. Fortunately they were cheap tickets! I only made it to the Rent matinee yesterday because Wes is on a normal-person schedule and harassed me to get myself out of bed and down to midtown

[ellixian]

Oh, I have actually slept through (well, not gotten up in time to get to) matinees for which I actually had tickets.

Again with the hypothetical my-living-in-NYC thing - god. We'd NEVER get to any shows, LOL. You, me and Leslie clearly all have this weird sleeping patterns thing going for us that is not conducive to anything but having breakfast at dinner time and catching a show right after. ;)

And my California trip has the worst timing ever - the week AFTER Evita and the ween BEFORE 9 to 5 starts its LA run! FAIL, ME.

I have no words beyond:

[llyfrgell]

I know, the sleep schedule of fail is PERFECT for theatre and absolute crap for everything else. Why am I trying to have a real career again?

Oh god, okay, I am sufficiently chastised by the Julia pics! Eeeek. *hides*

Singapore is actually one of the most common overseas locations! Other than, like, London, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Australia is a little iffier, though one of the firms at the top of my list has offices in both Sydney and Melbourne. There would be so much flail! But then I would be faaaar from Broadway for 6 weeks. I could probably survive.

[ellixian]

Why am I trying to have a real career again?

I'm still trying to convince myself to give my current one up so I can move to NYC. It's not easy. ;)

GOOD. JULIA PICS WILL STALK YOU FOR YOUR FAIL.

Singapore DOES have tons of law offices, so that would be really awesome.

But then I would be faaaar from Broadway for 6 weeks. I could probably survive.

LOL. Try six months. Apparently I have decided I can never be away from NYC for longer than that. Since there's that trip in January, and then possibly another to catch 9 To 5 later in the year. GOD. THIS IS WHY I CANNOT QUIT MY JOB.
