does anyone know if dianne is defo gonna be on on sat 9th jan matinee??

Don't know yet, Earnie's generally quite late in announcing her dates, we probably won't know till a couple of weeks before!

oh ok
i need to know now really so that i can book it up
suppose ill just have to book it and hope dianne's gonna be on

I went to see Wicked for the first time earlier this year and it is without question one of the best shows I've ever seen. I soon decided I had to see it again but unfortunately I was unlucky on that occasion as Dianne was off.

Dianne blew me away with her performance as Glinda and I can't wait to go back again and see her work her magic.

I plan on going on either Thursday 31st December 2009, Friday 1st January 2010 or Saturday 2nd January 2010. I know noone can predict an illness but can anyone tell me for sure whether Dianne has booked any holidays that would mean she wouldn't be performing on any of those dates?

Thanks
Andy

Hey Andy,
welcome to the forum
As of today, she has only confirmed she's gonna be on holidays from Dec 7 until Dec 9th so she should be on as Glinda on the days you want to go. I hope you'll get to see her.

Thanks Lucie.

I think I might hold off buying my tickets for another week or so. I love Wicked but it's not the same without Dianne and I'd be gutted if I missed her for a second time.

Hopefully I don't have any problem getting tickets if I leave it to around the middle of December to book.

How far in advance does Dianne usually give out her days off?

As I said, I'm going to hold off buying my tickets for now so if you hear that Dianne is away on holiday or definitly performing on either Thursday 31st December 2009, Friday 1st January 2010 or Saturday 2nd January 2010 I would be very grateful if you could send me a PM to let me know.

Thanks again
Andy

We don't usually know about her days off more than 3 weeks in advance but it varies.
