As you can probably tell, the site has gotten a new outfit. Good to start the new year with a brand new look :) I hope you all like it.
I also fixed up the past layouts page, added the ones I had forgotten to add and just cleaned up most of the pages.

Annaleigh on WGN News

By Heidur • 25 Dec 2008

Back in November Annaleigh performed live on the WGN Midday news. Her and Dee performed "For Good" and she sounded and looked amazing. Check it out over here

I'm sorry for the extreme lack of news around here for the past few months. School was taking up all of my time and I didn't have much time to do anything but study. But I've graduated now so I will finally be able to work on my sites again. Im getting together all the material I hadn't uploaded so once I get that all sorted you'll get a good update :)

Halloween

By Heidur • 31 Oct 2008

Happy Halloween guys! Here is Annaleigh's best Halloween story:

A couple years ago, I went to a swanky party that happened to be filled with fabulous drag queens. I went as Tinkerbell and made my own fabulous costume and had very outrageous makeup. Well, the dress was skin tight and I didn't wear my "chicken cutlets" that night. I had a guy come up me and say, "Girl... That's the best drag I've seen all night. Fierce!" He thought I was a man... in drag... as Tinkerbell. That was a first!

Diva Talk Interview

By Heidur • 25 Oct 2008

In honor of Wicked turning 5 years old, "Diva Talk" posed the same four questions to several of the actresses who have brought Elphaba or Glinda to full life, including Annaleigh. Here are her answers:

Question: What is the most memorable stage door moment/fan comment that you experienced during your run in Wicked?
Annaleigh Ashford: Just recently we had two fans who were dressed as Act 2 Glinda and Elphaba. Their brother had built exact replicas of Susan Hilferty's magical designs, and the little Elphaba even had a green little face. We walked out and did a double-take. They looked fabulous, and that certainly was the first time I saw a fully decked-out Glinda and Elphaba at the stage door.

Question: What is the funniest stage mishap that stands out in your mind from your Wicked run?
Ashford: One night during "Loathing," at the very top of the song when I have to jump up on the stage, I fell on my back. My feet flew over my head. And, my skirt followed! Thank God we wear spankys or I would have given a not-so-family friendly show that evening. Just kidding! It was hilarious. Any time somebody falls completely on their face, and they're ok, it's a big 'ol laugh to be had by the audience and everyone on stage. Falls are funny...if your ankles are ok.

Question: Would you say you're more Elphaba or more Glinda in real life?
Ashford: We all have a little of both in us, I hope. But I would have to say my spirit is a little bit more like Glinda's. I tend to be more silly, and I am terrible at flying on brooms.

Question: Why do you think Wicked has become such a hit all around the world?
Ashford: Regardless of its connection to "The Wizard of Oz" and its truly flawless production quality, Wicked is, at its core, a story of two friends and the sacrifices they both make to change the world and to change each other. That is the theme and the heart that remains universal. I believe that is why this show had been such a success in so many languages all around the world.
