Excited for Ginna Claire! I wonder what Amanda will do next, could she be Kara's replacement? https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Rejoycify-Ginna-Claire-Mason-Will-Join-WICKED-Tour-as-Glinda-20170307
Is Ginna Claire good? Will be seeing her in Syracuse.

She's phenomenal. NY's loss is the rest of the country's gain.
So Robin De Jesus is going to be playing Boq from May 2nd till June 4. https://twitter.com/broadwaycom/status/858201297413185536Is Andy just going on hiatus or is he done with the tour now? If it's the latter, I wouldn't be surprised if Danny Quadrino becomes the Boq on tour, as he's leaving the show on Broadway on May 21st. https://instagram.com/p/BTXC9X2hmWH/
^Andy is done with the tour earlier than originally planned. He was originally supposed to leave at the end of Buffalo, but is leaving sooner. I don't know if it would be Danny going on the tour as the post he made on Instagram made it sound like he's done with the show.
To confirm, Andy Mientus' final day on the tour was today:

Who is replacing Jessica Vosk? Or does anyone have ideas?
How long is Jessica in the show for? It's coming to a city near me this September/October and I really wanted to try and see Jessica in the show.

When she joined she said that she is contracted through Philly which is end of July basically!

I hope that Emily the current standby is promoted.
I'm so curious who'll be playing Boq when the show opens this week in Boston. The official Wicked site still lists Robin de Jesus, but when he started, June 4 was listed as his close date. I can't find any info on who's replacing him. I wonder if Garett Hawe might get it -- he's been the understudy.
Jessica and Emily and I believe a few other cast members are scheduled to leave the week before the show leaves Philly.

Robin de Jesus has extended until this fall I believe. He'll definitely be there through all of Boston's run.
Jessica is amazing. I believe she's with the tour until/through September.
Her standby, Emily, is good but Jessica takes Elphie to another level altogether.

Are you sure? I saw an ad for a regional theater in my area saying he's supposed to star as Usnavi in their production of In The Heights.

Yeah, "In the Heights" at Olney rehearsals start on August 7th and the show runs through October 15th (with a possible extension) and he's definitely doing it. So I imagine he'd stay on the tour through July?
Saw the Boston opening tonight. Robin de Jesus was in it! I was so glad.
I had no idea Fred Applegate had such a gorgeous voice.
Jessica Vosk knocked my socks off.
I saw the tour twice in Buffalo, once with Emily & once with Jessica Vosk. Vosk takes the role to another level, and she is worth revisiting the show. Emily was fine, her high notes were good but her pitch waivered on the lower notes. Robin de Jesus was excellent in a small role, and both Isabel Keating & Fred Applegate were having a lot of fun.
I saw the tour at the Kennedy Center when visiting D.C. last winter, and Vosk's Elphaba is truly worth the raves. She is exceptional, and I very much hope she becomes the Broadway Elphaba post-tour so I can revisit her in the role.

I would love to see Mamie Parris replace Jennifer as Elphaba!
