Posted: 4/19/05 at 3:59pmJLT is leaving soon so shouldn't they have announced a standby already since Megan is taking over the role?

Posted: 4/19/05 at 4:03pmWhen Shoshana took over, they didn't announce her stand-by until a few weeks AFTER she began. So, it could be a while.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 4:05pmThat is true. I feel like there was more hype on who is going to be the new Elphaba standby then Glinda standby, or is that just me?

Posted: 4/19/05 at 4:12pmOh.....I think it would be a good to give the ensemble people a chance to be moved up to standby. Does that ever happen? I thought Kristy would be the Elphaba standby.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 4:16pmIs Kristy officially the standby on tour now? What happens if Saycon cannot make a show that Shoshana can't make?

Posted: 4/19/05 at 5:02pm442, you mean once Kristy goes to Chicago? The person who replaces her on Broadway, I guess.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 6:18pmHey, I love Wicked, but I can't think of any other show that we talk about who will be the next STANDBY. Not even performer. Maybe I'm just crazy.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 7:45pmI say give it to Katie, since she was in GV which is going to be closing. She needs to be in a good show.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 9:59pmI wish it would be Jennifer Hope Wills. Hell - I wish she replaced JLT - but Megan is good. But I think Jennifer Hope could be one of the best Glinda's vocally - her voice is incredible!

Did Wicked audition or choose replacements for Elphaba or Glinda? Or do they just go with standbys?

Posted: 4/19/05 at 11:30pmI would also drop dead if it was Jennifer Hope. I love her voice, and she would do wonderfully as Glinda (better than JLT).

Sitting at Light in the Piazza, I couldn't help but think that Kelli O'Hara would be a fantastic Glinda. Particularly when she appeared in the pink dress.
Obviously, she's a little busy now, but Piazza closes in June. I wouldn't be surprised to see O'Hara up in the bubble sometime.

I'm going to be the next G(a)linda standby so all you people are wrong! 
As someone told me lately: "Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"...

This is the moment! My final test!...
PS. Couldn't choose just one :-)
