The way they trailed the sent men episode it seemed like tea would be spilt but it was just a mutual admiration society. Talia also came across as very complainy to me. I usually love their podcast but this one was a bit of a snooze fest.

The sentimental men podcast with Lucie and Talia has been removed and all teaser clips are gone from social media. I wonder if they said something they shouldn’t have? I listened to most of it and didn’t pick up on anything controversial. Maybe the bit about Lucie’s company manager telling her she’s good enough to go on even when she cannot give 100%.

What’s the performance schedule for the new cast?
Don’t tell me… there isn’t one. Why would there be when they’ve got away with it for the past year?

What a load of drama about something that seemed pretty innocuous. |

Making a massive deal about the new cast, but not telling customers when they’re not performing. Result: hyped up customers being disappointed that they didn’t see the advertised cast member. Exactly what’s been happening for the last year with Lucie. |

Result: hyped up customers being disappointed that they didn’t see the advertised cast member. Exactly what’s been happening for the last year with Lucie. I do get what you're saying, but I still would say the average Joe doesn't care who they have on and that makes up the majority of the audience I say? Do they make a massive deal about new cast other than just announcing a new cast? I like that on the Wicked website, you are able to see when there is holiday booked for the leads, which is helpful and realistically they don't even need to do that? They don't owe anyone anything really, in my opinion. |

I’d counter that by saying if the average Joe doesn’t care, why are they plastering the underground with an ad campaign featuring the two new leads. The intention is very clear and indeed is something to be celebrated. But when people then buy a ticket and turn up to find one or even two white actors playing these iconic roles they’re expected to swallow it?
With regard to holidays being published on the website, Lucie’s many days off weren’t published hence the massive disappointment over the last 12 months. Ok maybe it wasn’t “holiday” but it wasn’t sick leave either, not in all cases anyway. Bottom line is that she didn’t show up for a LOT of her performances with no rhyme, reason or explanation given to people who had bought tickets to see her.
Producers of this show, and others, are taking the piss.

We didn't all give Lucie grief a week in when she went off - a lot of us started that after a few weeks/months when what was happening became apparent.
I'd argue producers are not taking the 'piss' currently - there's scope to say they were in 2022-23 when the situation became as out of control as it was, but we are week 2 of a new cast. These people have just done four weeks of rehearsals, tech, they're knackered and there's some horrid bugs going round in London.
Let's give it a couple of weeks before we accuse the producers of carrying on their tactics from the last contract eh?

Hi - long time lurker, first time poster, so I don’t know if this is allowed (please delete if not) but I was just wondering if any of you have seen the videos of the production in Brazil and whether you feel the UK version needs a revamp like this?

Amy Webb is on as Elphaba for both shows today. Lisa-Anne Wood is on as Glinda (15th March, 2023). At this rate they'll be getting Lucie back as emergency cover... |

Do we know whether the new covers have gone into rehearsals yet as at the moment Lisa is the only cover for Glinda until the new covers have been rehearsed in and only two Elphaba covers at the moment

I have to say I found their comments about ‘Meh-phabas’ (other actresses who play the role but ‘don’t always give 100%’) to be quite rude and disrespectful. Though I doubt that’s enough to warrant the episode being removed. |

Anyway I hope they’re both ok and get better soon! I'm very ill with what feels like a head cold after seeing Wicked last week, so something might have been going around. Whatever it is has also robbed me of my singing voice for the last couple of days. |

There's been quite a few swing debuts last few days so there is definitely something in the air at the AV.
