As much as I hate to start another Wicked thread I have a question. Does anyone have a list of everyone who has played Elphaba and Glinda since the show opened on Broadway. Including understudies and standbys?

The Glinda understudies/standbys for Chicago are Sarah Jane Everman and Sara Jean Ford. The Elphaba understudy for Chicago is Courtney Corey.

Also, Elphaba for Broadway, Brandi Chyvonne(?) Massey is the current understudy.

Stacie Morgain Lewis went on a few times as Glinda; I saw her in March in what might have been her first night.

Aigoo, do you know if any of those ladies you mentioned have gone on yet? I'd be interested to hear reports of Brandi in particular.

I don't think Courtney has gone on yet, because Kristy has yet to miss an emergency call. I have NO idea about Brandi or any of the Glinda standbys/understudies.

Yeah!!! Melissa Bell Chait had to leave the show because she had a stroke or something.

Es geht gut.

And that completes my entire performance in German.

I don't think Brandi went on as Elphaba on Broadway. Saycon is my buddy! I love her so much . . .
