Simard’s great, but I don’t really see it and don’tlike the idea of casting the sweet transvestite wi

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."

It certainly doesn’t count as a “what if” but one the very earliest recordings of Defying Gravity was performed by Liz Callaway all the way back in 2001. I don’t think she did any workshops, but in the 90s if this had come to f

She might be a bit young, but she’d be a great Desiree in Night Music
