Very often the ensemble is the last to know anything. I will stick to the sources that I know are informed, they are much closer to casting than Ms. Waldman. If Saycon was given the role I'd be delighted, but at present Eden is in the "lead" as they say.

WHat would really be awesome is if Idina came back, but that will never happen I want Eden to fill in I love her soo much and would love to see her in Wicked!

Are you trying to hint that Saycon is taking over and Eden is gonna be Nessa? (You might also hinting Eden is gonna be the Elphie standby..)
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
Ana is Taking over beginning of Febuary. Between the time that Shoshana Bean is leaving and untill Ana's contract is over in Chicago Idina Menzel is coming back to reprise her role as Elphaba.
DefyingEDCT. Where did you get your info- just out of curiosity. Sigh.... wish Ana'd stay here for a year... but I just don't see it happenin even if she doesn't go to Broadway.

I can basically guarantee you that DefyingEDCT is pulling this out of his/her rear.
Idina won't be reprising her role.

I got to see Ana four weeks ago and she was absolutely wonderful. She'd be great on the Great White Way but what do you think about getting another big profile name to play Elphaba...say Heather Headley. She's been wanting to get back to Broadway supposedly and I can just imagine her rendition of "Defying Gravity." I think she'd be great...but I'd love to see Ana in NYC too...
LOL Fosse. I'm pretty sure he's just playing around.

Ha. Ha. I love how everyone has their sources. We've had about 5 different DEFINITIE answers for who will be the next Elphaba, but I'll take Defying's advice because, as you know, he is a major producer of Wicked. Oh and defying, on another thread you said you were intrigued about how someone SAID Laura Bell Bundy demanded perks, but as a producer shouldn't you know all about this? I mean, you were supposed to pay her....
I don't think Eden would go back to the Broadway company as anyone but Elphaba right now. I don't think she'd stand by for the role again either.
I also love how everyone seems to know who's taking over. I think basically every actress currently playing or standing by for the role has been mentioned now.
