Defying gravity was easy, but withstanding a power outage provedtoo much for the witches of "Wicked" Thursday night.
A blackout at the Ford Center for the Performing Arts/OrientalTheatre forced the cancellation of the night's performance. Ticketswill be honored at a newly scheduled performance at 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
Stars Ana Gasteyer and Kate Reinders are in their final weeks withthe usually sold-out musical. Starting Jan. 24, the Elphaba role willgo to Gasteyer's standby, Kristy Cates. Stacie Morgain Lewis, whounderstudied Glinda on Broadway, takes over the role here.
Gasteyer, a "Saturday Night Live" alum, is scheduled to play Mrs.Peachum in a New York revival of "The Threepenny Opera," opening inMarch at Studio 54. Alan Cumming, Jim Dale and Edie Falco co-star.
