It's actually the same Maureen, I'm pretty sure. She's the star of Wicked and I think she's changed the way she sings the songs a little.
Unless you meant Joann, her girlfriend? That's a different actress, and while her voice is different from the original... I liked her acting skills a litle more. She was just funnier.
Yay for you having seen the movie. I thought it was great.
You're right, Idina Menzel played Maureen in both. It is Mimi and Joanne who are different actresses in the movie version. Maybe it is the contrast from a large room vs. speakers 15" from my ears in a small room that makes the difference.
I really liked the movie. Definately want to see it again. Hopefully I can find time before it leaves the local movie houses.
Angel is my favorite character in the show. That, and the fact that it IS the Christmas season, is why I used this pic as my current user icon.
Kelly gave me the Broadway original cast recording (2-CD set) for my birthday. It has been playing over and over and over. I still would like to get the movie soundtrack, too. I am going to try to record Mark and Roger's answering machine message to use afor my voice mail. :o

Oh, hey, I have both the broadway and movie soundtracks... so if you want a particular song I could upload it to yousendit.com for you...
I want it to go to the dollar theater. And soon.
And your icon makes me laugh because Angel was so very funny.
