I heard this rummor somewhere out there. Anybody know of anything? I'd love for Ana to stay in Chi town for as long as possible... (and I know the rest of the Windy City feels that way too!)

No one really knows for sure who's replacing Bean. Of course, there are posters here who say they're in the loop and already know who it's going to be.

No one even knows if Shoshana is leaving! She hasn't said. She has said repeatedly that it's too early to tell. So, until Sho decides to leave, give some respect! Stop trying to replace her already! Damn!
Not trying to replace Sho... just wanna keep Ana here. :)
Of course anything is specualtion until it is confirmed by Wicked, but I heard the front runner right now is Eden.

I am personally rooting for Stephanie.
And I believe I read somewhere that Saycon was moving onto another project shortly.

Thank goodness Saycon may be moving on. Elphaba is not the right role for her. And, yes, I saw her go on and was not impressed.
I doubt Ana will, her contract there wouldn't be up, but maybr because it's still WICKED they'll let her do broadway.

As much as I LOVE Ana I doubt that she will join the Broadway company when the current Elphaba leaves at the beginning of the year.
As I heard it when Ana was brought on to do the Chicago run, and that is where she would stay, becasue the run was open-ended.
Not that I would not like to see her on broadway again.
She kicked butt in Riocky Horror and was the nicest person towward her fans.

"I doubt Ana will, her contract there wouldn't be up, but maybr because it's still WICKED they'll let her do broadway."
Her contract is up in January, so she would be available to take over. But they can't just move her to another production mid-contract. Let's say her contract was up at the end of this month. They couldn't move her to Broadway without buying out Shoshana's contract. Now, if in January Shoshana doesn't renew, and Gasteyer doesn't renew in Chicago, they can offer her Broadway. But if they have another actress contracted to Broadway, they can't just switch them around (of course, if the actresses are willing that is anentirely different matter).
Bea Arthur is replacing Shoshana.
Bobby you ignorant slut.......Debbie Reynolds is replacing Shosononono.
I thought Debbie was the new standby. My bad. I get so excited when I think about Wicked that I can't keep my Elphaba's straight!
Acctually it is I who must appologize.
It's Chita Rivera as Elphie and Debbie as Galinda. DUH!
Isn't Elaine Stritch going to play Nessa?

Funny stuff.
I personally want Eden or Ana. I can't stand Stephanie J. Block's voice in Wicked or anything else I've heard.

I agree. I am not a fan of Stephanie's Elphaba.

greatdct: You are my new best friend. It seems like everyone just loves Block.

Stephanie sounds British when she sings, which is odd cause she's from California.
I'm not a fan of Block either.

yea. Block annoys me as well. Shoshana will always be my favorite.
You three just made me die a little inside. *emo tear runs down cheek*
Entitled to your own opinion, I suppose, however bad I think it may be.
