I went to watch Wicked on Wednesday 11th (I think) July. Halfway through the performance there had to be a change due to Kerry Ellis suddenly getting taken ill and having to go to hospital. Does anyone know why this is? I have been trying to find out for a while now. I have to admit they were both pretty good. I loved the show and the songs.

Dear, oh dear! It's the weekend and no one's supervising the computers in the juvenile detention centre.

Katy, are you asking why people get ill? Or why people get taken to hospital when they are ill? Or why producers put an understudy on when the principal actor falls sick? Or why the understudy was as good as the principal? Or why you loved the show and songs?

Some of these questions have answers.


Ooh, that Bernadette Shaw - what a chatterbox!

It's amazing how rude people are on here. There's no need for sarcastic answers. If you haven't got anything relevant to say don't bother posting at all!

Ah, but then older people with nothing better to do at the weekend wouldn't be able to show off their devastatingly sharp minds and incisive analytical skills and pedagogic (if astonishingly presumptuous) abilities to edit other people's posts.

I didn't see this at the time, but reading it now it's quite obvious to me that Katy was asking if anyone knew anything more about Kerry Ellis's sudden indisposition. Katy, just ignore rude people and feel free to post again if you feel like it. But you've probably gone off to somewhere less pompous and more welcoming - I don't blame you.

Thank you Alexandra! I also didn't see this post at the time it was posted but I can not believe how sarcastic, patronising, pompous and down right rude Orchestrator has been to Katy!! I personally think he owes her an apology - posted on here! Please carry on posting Katy, it is perfectly clear to me what you were asking in your post, unfortunately I don't know the answer either but I am also quite curious.

Quite curious about something that happened about three-and-a-half months ago and that Katy took over two months to ask about here? Obviously it wasn't considered, by the members of this board, interesting at the time of the indisposition nor at the time of Katy's post. I'm sorry for the intemperate and patronising nature of my response to Katy. She was absolutely right to post as she did.

See, when someone says sorry it makes me want to give them a cuddle. Don't be alarmed, Orchestrator, it's probably just motherhood. smile.gif

Hear hear. I have commented before on this & that comments on spelling/grammar/construction etc are not called for. It seems we must all watch our p's& q's or suffer the withering criticisms of the Orchestrators of this world.

Actually, I quite liked Orchestrator's initial response.

I don't think the spelling and grammar was foremost concern - more the fact that the message was posted with some rather interesting formatting that's certainly not required in forums such as this. I'm surprised she didn't consider putting a WordArt in too.

Personally, I think it's more discourteous to make posts with such large attending-demanding, eyes-bleeding-now font sizes. Just because it's a bit bigger doesn't make us want to help any more. now does it? So, kudos to Orchestrator - if maybe a tad harsh (join the club) - and a tap on the wrist for Katy, who should pay more attention to online etiquette.
