Thanks to Vanessa, I’ve added several downloadable versions of streaming videos in the Video Archive – This includes Rent Film Trailers, KQED News Spark! Wicked Special, and Idina’s “Minuet” Music Video. So go download those, and more downloads are coming to replace old links. Also, I’ve added (thanks to Vanessa) the Rent movie cast’s PSA for HIV/AIDS Awareness, from E! Online. That can be downloaded from the Commercials/PSA section.

Thanks to another anonymous person who has made a generous donation to the site.

Last night, I finally (after like 2 years) capped all of Idina’s “Minuet” music video, and I’ve added 86 screen captures to the Gallery. In addition, I’ve added the following to various Gallery albums: (thanks to those who have sent in photos – feel free to continue sending in Stage Door pictures to be put up in the Gallery)

Howdy, guys – So, Wicked opened last night in the West End (yay!), and today I’ve been trying to collect images from the bows/afterparty, plus press reviews written this morning. For pictures, I’m still in the process of getting some, and while I have smaller versions of a few, I’m going to remove them once I get the HQ versions (so be warned: if you make a comment, it’ll be deleted once the photo is.) I’ve also added a bunch of scans, thanks to Charlotte, of press released this morning. There are some gorgeous new images of Idina on stage as ‘Elphaba’, so definitely glance through the photo album for new stuff.

Two small things today: The official site for Wicked in London put up a promotional video today, featuring great footage from the show — It’s located in the Video Archive, more specifically, the Online Videos section. Note: It is in .FLV format, meaning if you haven’t already, you’ll need to download a free version of the FLV player – link is located on the main page of the Archive (this format is a downloadable version of Flash streaming videos.) If anyone wants to get this to me in .mov format, contact me. And if you’d just prefer to watch the streaming video, it can be directly found on the official site.

Also, Idina gave a great interview to Theatre.com about being in the show again. Click here to read. A new shot of the show is also featured, and that was added to the Gallery here.

Thank you to all the people who e-mailed me about these. I was gone for the whole day yesterday and most of today, so I didn’t hear about them until just now. But! Though many of you have probably seen these, I have put up a handful of new Wicked stills to the Gallery! They’re beautiful, and much bigger than the pics before. (A few of the older images, I’ve found bigger sizes, but I’ll add those at another time. ) So here they are:

Took me a bit longer to get this up and running, but it’s finally done! Thanks again to Mycah @ Purple Haze, Inc., a brand new Video Archive has been added to the site! It contains all the downloadable and streaming videos on the site before, but they’re just organized slightly different (hopefully, more clearly.) So check it out!
