these guys have such amazing voices!!! Megan seems to just fit the part Elphaba so well and Sho can hit such amazing notes!!! i love the medley though, i want a copy of the score!!!!!!
They were the broadway cast at one point. The Blonde on (Megan Hilty) played Glinda and The Brunette (Shoshana Bean) played Elphaba. The point of the show was to do a role swap. :)
Two of the greatest talents EVER to appear in Wicked. Amazing! :D Megan is definitely my favorite Glinda, and Shoshana is ONE of my favorite Elphies. :D

Its true about Shoshana NOT about Megan.. Shoshana has said in multiple interviews she originally auditioned for the role of Glinda...but got the Elphaba standby role instead...
I just watched an interview with Megan Hilty, some of the questions asked here were answered during that interview. According to Megan Hilty, she is a classically trained coloratura soprano, who can belt. She was invited to audition to be a standby by for the role of Glinda in Wicked after a showcase she performed in her Senior year of college. She stated that she wasn't familiar with the show, other than its reputation. The producers allowed her to see the show, for the first time, prior to her audition. She never auditioned for the role of Elphaba. When asked if she'd ever want to play the role of Elphaba she stated that she loved playing Glinda, and that she was too short to meet the heighth requirement to even audition for the role.
how is that even possible when Megan Hilty has always played Galinda in Wicked. She joined the Broadway production as the Galinda standby in 2004, took over lead in May of 2005. After she left in May of 2006 she did the tour production as Galinda for 3 stops. She then went to the LA production as Galinda from Feb. 2007 - May, 2008 and came back as Galinda from Oct 31st 2008 - Jan 11th 2009 when it closed.
It is actually not true. In Megan's Broadway.com interview, she said the day before her audition, she went to see Wicked with the Original Cast. She said she was shocked how Kristen did the role so well and stuff. Then she said, after the show she went to her hotel room, and she was saying stuff like "Maybe I'm not as pretty as Kristen (etc)" like she was doubting herself. But after all, she still got the role.
lol Megan; "Ow!" (Ater DG) Sho: Now you know how I felt for two years. Bahahahaha. xD Best show in the world. The Meg an' Sho Show. By the way; I couldn't catch it, so does anyone know what Megan's joke was during her INTG? She said "That was a joke," . . . what was? xD
I wish Megan would have thrown in some of the riffs that Shoshana is most famous for. (I'm not saying "Shoshana's Riffs" I'm saying the riffs that Shoshana is famous for. I don't want to get people started)
so is this like a real show or a tv show or something??? im realy confused!!!!!! where can we see the Meg'an Sho show can someone pleease tell me!!! thnks!!!
it wasn't with upright cabaret, i believe (hence it not being in west hollywood or palm springs-where upright does their shows). i think this was for a charity of some kind? i forget =]
lol. at a musical themed karaoke night. She has a beyond amazing voice don't get me wrong, but Glinda she is not! She was damn funny though. Dianne on the other hand was absolutley amazing at no good deed, however much i dislike her.
