...makes me want to pack up my life and ship out to the French Countryside. This shoot (and the accompanying candid interview) took my breath away.

Glinda

Katie Rose Clarke as Glinda

T and I saw Wicked on Broadway over the weekend ($25 front row seats(!), through the show's lottery), and I was thoroughly blown away by both the collective pool of talent and the overall production (choreography, set & costume design, special effects, etc.). I've seen many Broadway shows in my lifetime and I must say, Wicked now ranks as one of my personal favorites.

Katie Rose Clarke as Glinda was phenomenal. I happen to adore Kristin Chenoweth (the actress who originated the role of Glinda on Broadway) and now I feel the need to stalk Ms. Clarke's theater history, too.

I am most attracted to female performers like Clarke and Chenoweth; actresses whose singing ability is unrivaled and whose comedic timing is out of this freaking world. Or, maybe I'm just obsessed with Glinda in general. She's so glitterific.
