Is there any truth to this? If so than cool.

I think this was something of a BWW prank.

How about Daphne Rubin Vega? Maybe she'll have a different slant on the character....

The information was leaked wrong. The new Elphaba for 2007 will actually be Carol Channing.

I heard Patti Lupone would be taking a new spin on the role in 2007.

Really? I was told Patti was taking over for Glinda... maybe i was wrong..

No. You are all wrong. I will be taking over the role of Elphaba when Ana leaves.

Eden in LA
Carol on tour
and Fabrizio2 in NYC

What a wonderful line up...I think the best I have ever seen.

Maybe Roseanne and David Hasselhoff can take over from Madame Morrible and The Wizard (respectivley...or either or...).

Not only is Patti taking over, but John Doyle is being brought in to restage the show. Elphie will now play the tuba (imagine her up there with it during Defying Gravity) and Madame Morrible will play the cello. The entire thing will take place in Fiyero's head at an asylum. After all, he convinced himself he was a scarecrow.

I actually thought it was Raven as Elphaba and Miley Cryus as Glinda.

I think Raven and Miley Cyrus are supposed to switch roles between acts... that way the audience gets the best of both worlds. (Wow... that was lame)

No I heard Zach and Cody were taking over and switching roles, and nobody would no the differrence!

*resits to make lame joke about how that would be a suite life*

I have had to tolerate Disney for years. Those twins on that horrible show are simply the most annoying of all!

Raven is so funny and talented, I do not know if she can handle E, but she gets my vote!

I don't know why we're all joking about this. Just take the facts that are out there: Carol Channing is going into the show as Elphaba in early 2007 to be joined by Elaine Stritch as Glinda soon after. Enough with the rumors.
