!!
this is my very first wank post here... I'm so excited!
For anyone involved in the theatre fandom on lj, you'll know that Wicked fans are the wankiest of all of them. I love the show, but hate the fans.
Recently, Kristin Chenoweth, the original Glinda, left the show, after 9(?) months. Her replacement is Jennifer Laura Thompson. Being as she's half a foot taller than Kristin, and a natural redhead to boot (the character is written as a blonde), the fans rally against her. In the
wicked_musical community,
xluckystar2107x posts an anti-JLT graphic. Some people agree with the sentiment. Others don't. People discuss famous short actresses, wigs, the obc, and other wanky subjects.
Later on, she reposts the graphic in
theater_icons, where she hopes people will appreciate it more. They don't really care, they're just sick of seeing it.
And while I'm at it, another Wicked wank! Yet again, this has to do with a replacement for an original cast member. This time, it's Randy Harrison, who took over for Christopher Fitzgerald as Boq for a short time.
pottergrl66 posts a review of him, saying that he's "too gay" to be believeable as a straight character (in giant orange text). Everyone yells at her for being a giant orange homophobe. She defends herself by saying that she has a gay best friend. No one cares.
That's really about it. I hope I didn't mess anything up.
