Or maybe Kelsie originally intended to stay with the show but another opportunity arose.
I don’t think the odd cast rollout is any indication the show is heading toward closure. To me it seems like the show wanted to get a cast of reliable former performers alongside a few “star” casting choices to hopefully boost ticket sales."

- Boleyn — Dylan Mulvaney
- Cleves — Olivia Donalson
- Howard — Abigail Barlow

It seems like Kelsie is in fact departing as well, her replacement should be announced soon."
Thrilled to see all of this, especially Mulvaney&

I only saw one comment so far about the lack of diversity. It's so interesting when they talk about that and then turn around and praise the casting that actually happens and say things like "it's been a long time coming!"

Alternate Satine's - has this always been a thing ? Jan 14
2026, 06:02:34 PM
Sutton Ross said: "Karen didn't have an alternateon any particular day, which is what the thread is about. Her attendance in 2020 was terrible and Im sure she scheduled many days off as well. She was miserable and did not hide it."

Alternate Satine's - has this always been a thing ? Jan 13
2026, 03:42:20 PM
Sutton Ross said: "When the show first started before Covid, Karen did not have a standby taking over once a week. After Covid it was necessary to have one for obvious reasons. WhenSolea Pfeiffer was Satine, the standby was on for her about severaltimes a week for a couple months there. She performed more than Solea in her own part by the time she left."
When Solea was in the lead, was the alternate Oyoyo or Hailee? Having some trouble remembering

Literally since the show opened there has been an alt Satine, Ashley Loren was the very first

Honesty, perfection. I was high key pulling for Catherine Zeta-Jones, but Hahn deserved it.

Same it took so long to get a WOC principal Elphaba, I know we have Adelina on tour but we need MORE lol

James Kerrigan2 said: "Elphaba2019 said: "I am really hoping that Sophie Evans will cross the pond and replace Allie Trimm once her contract is up. She is one of the best Glinda's we have ever had!!!! And I hope they let her keep her British Accent!!!
(FIRST BACK) Thank Goodness - Sophie Evans | WICKED London | 15th September 2021 (Reopening)"
I am hoping for Allison Bailey either as full-time Glinda or as standby. They have been using her as a temporary standby for the past year so I think it is likely she will either be Standby once Newberry leaves or even full-time. Same thing happened with Alyssa Fox and MK Morrisey.
I hope we get a returning Elphaba would be nice if Jackie Burns came back but that's a pipe dream lol"
Personally, I would rather them continue the trend of casting WOC Elphabas and cast someone new once Lencia has finished her run.

Jasmine Amy Rogers seems a bit young for Queenie, no? Toni Colette was 28/29 when she played it (Jasmine is 26), but read at least a few years older than that, where Jasmine reads younger. For comparison, Tonya Pinkins was 10 years older than Toni, and Adrienne Warren is 12 years older than Jasmine, but it still feels off to me. I don’t know, maybe I’m doing too much age math, but a 26-year-ol

Age wise, neither of them makes sense for each other’s roles. They’re both great actors, I’m sure they fit their respective role perfectly.

I think you're right! Lea started following her on IG and Hannah is now following Chess and Lea. Good catch."
Hannah is a fantastic choice! Thrilled about this possibility!

On the bright side, this interview is a master class for journalists in how to keep your composure when dealing with an antagonistic interviewee."
I wonder what his daughter Zosia feels about him now. She’s a brilliant actress (admittedly a nepo baby) and doesn&rsquo
