I spoke with one of the managers at Wicked, and they told me that a country singer will replace Dee Roscioli in January '10. That's all she would tell me. Hmm. I wonder who it is.

Well from what I was told back in July is that it would be a country singer from american idol who is possibly from OKlahoma. Which would make me think it would be Carrie Underwood but I would much rather it be Diana Degarmo. She would blow the roof off of the Gershwin!
I don't know if the Carrie Underwood statement was satire or what. I sure hope it was but if it wasn't, that would never happen. Carrie just released her new album and will certainly be touring. I'm a huge Carrie Underwood fan but she would be a terrible Elphaba.

No. Mentioning Carrie Underwood shouldn't even be allowed - she's far too talented and, honestly, a vocal goddess. She should never go near Broadway (and she's stated that she has no interest).
You assume too quickly that it will be a bigger name. Do you know how many country singers were on "American Idol" over the years? They usually go for cheap unknowns...
itsboq - it is not Carrie Underwood. She just released an album and has stated she's not interested in Broadway. Additionally, do you know how much it would cost WICKED to even consider this?
Even the name Diana DeGarmo is stretching it. I think many of you will be dissapointed.
I'm not going to believe anything until there is an offical source. All of you need to stop trashing Dee. My sister saw her and thought she was brilliant. I also think she's a terrific singer and actress.
I'm not liking the idea of Diana Degarmo being Elphaba. I saw her in the national tour of "Brookyln" and she completeley oversang every lyric. She shouted at the top of her lungs in every song. Updated On: 12/10/09 at 12:10 AM
How so? She is considered a Broadway actress nowadays.

Why the hell should someone's sister opinion matter to anyone? My third cousin twice-removed loves Miley Cyrus, so I DEMAND that no negative things are to be said about her ever again.

Remember last time they allegedly were going to stuntcast and it was Nicole Parker? I can't tell you how many lolz I've gotten from Wicked casting rumors over the years...
