Lindsay Northen mentioned last night after the show that the current cast was asked to participate in this, but it was/is entirely optional. They haven't had any rehearsal yet, either.

Less than two weeks, actually.

It's all very bizarre, that we've heard absolutely nothing. The only cast members that have confirmed their attendance are Megan Hilty, Norbert Leo Butz, Michelle Federer, and Julie Reiber.

^ Lindsay confirmed that she will be there to us...LOL. And will most likely be in jeans...haha.


Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

Yes, I guess I should have included Lindsay in that list.

When she was talking about it, and the complete lack of preparation and rehearsal at this point, she was like, "I guess I'll wear jeans."

Well they are finally starting to announce people now. I mean its only in 10 days why start now...LOL. Maybe that night they will announce the new cast also(Elphaba, Fiyero and possibly Glinda).

The cast is (so far)
Elphaba-SJB
Glinda-Kendra
Fiyero-I'm 99% sure that Norbert's going to do it
Nessa-Michelle

not sure about anyone else, but that makes the most sense of the people who are in it.

How can the cast be SJB as Elphaba? She's in 9 to 5.

They're not performing the show, they're performing songs from it there is no cast for this concert and SJB can't be the next Elphaba...


Anyway, they announced a few people: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/122439.html

They're not playing "roles" or performing a show. It's a concert of cut material. There are going to be several former Elphies present, plus the current one. So far, Shoshana Bean, Stephanie Block, Kerry Ellis, and Julie Reiber have confirmed they're going to be there.

That Playbill is for the performance on October 30th, the actual anniversary. It's not for the concert.

I'm going tonight and looking forward to hearing the songs that didn't make the cut!
I have no idea where I'll be sitting but if you see a really tall girl with a popular shirt on, that's me!


I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

Why is Mark Indelicato playing Boq? I mean I have nothing against him but his closest tie to WICKED is that episode of Ugly Betty that was filmed at WICKED, and he wasn't even in that and is to young the be in regular performances.


EDIT: Ben Libert(sp?) the current Boq is going to be there, why wouldn't he be playing Boq?
