Right now I'm listening to Christiane Noll sing The Girl on the Prowl from The New Moon. If you haven't heard her sing it she's amazing. She would be an amazing Glinda and of course we know she's funny, she played Hope in Urinetown!

CLAY AIKEN would make a great ELPHABA opposite RUBEN STUDDARD's GLINDA.. oh what I wouldn't give to see RUBEN bouncing around to POPULAR in GLINDA's lovely pink gown.. :)

Your Mom. I signed her last night.

No just kidding but James Barbour is holding auditions for the 14 year old girls and up.

I just listened to "Where Does The Love Go?" on Megan's site, and I could see her playing Elphaba at some point. She has an amazing, rich alto range. She's incredible!

Eartha Kit as Morrible? Anyone? could be fun.

maybe CLoris Leachman.

as for Elphaba, I want Julia to come to Broadway, or someone with an amazing belt like Heather Headley.

I dont really care gor Galinda, but someone like Reece Witherspoon would be cool, and had her Legally Blonde experience to draw from. (but she is probably more suited for a film version)

Leslie Henstock's Defying Gravity on her CD of the same title is very good, so perhaps she can do it one day.

I don't know about you, but if age weren't an issue it would definitely have to be Bernadette Peters as Glinda. I'd buy tickets.

How about Heather Headley as Elphaba? Her or Sherie have my vote!

Cheers,

First off, Julia deserves to be Elphaba. She's incredible!

But I'm with the rest of you, too, who vote for Mandy Gonzalez. I saw WICKED for the first time very early in its run, and when I did, I remarked that Mandy Gonzalez should be playing this role. She has the lung capacity to blow everyone else out of the room. (Does anyone remember the last note in Total Eclipse of the Heart in DOTV? How about just about every other song she sang in that show...) She never looks as though it takes much out of her to reach those notes, and she does it beautifully.

Seriously? Julia Roberts? That is just way to big of a stretch to even consider.

SERIOUSLY Though !!!

Elphaba: Brandi Chavonne Massey...she will most likey be given the lead on Broadway.

Glinda: Kendra Kassenbaum..she will most likely go from the tour to Broadway.

I second Victoria Matlock. She was brilliant in Boston.

Anyone who has heard Leslie Kritzer sing live knows that she could be an amazing Elphaba. She can sing the songs technically properly and emotionally charged as well.

When Leslie was interview on Chatterbox she made clear that she didnt feel comfortable with those vocals 8x a week and it was not the role for her. I think Seth challenged her on that point and she was quite "No I would rather not"

It was a few months ago so memory may have jumbled it up a bit!

Posted: 5/14/06 at 6:25pm

Kate Reinders, on May 30th, is replacing Megan as Glinda on Broadway

:)

and for those who voted Mandy Gonzalez as Elphie... I second that!!!!

I'm inclined to think that Idina and Kristin will never again play together in "Wicked". I was under the impression that there was a mutual "loathing". For those of those not in the "know", was it just a one time clash or did it occur all during their run with the show? Everything looked all hunkydorey during the Tony Awards or was that exceptional acting? from Roman in Austin, Texas

"She has an amazing, rich alto range."

She goes the lowest during the final note in INTG (reprise.)

It sounds amazing. And this sounds kinda dilly, but during the song she adjusts her engagement ring and then rips it off during the last note. It's never on her hand again.

Fantastic!

Am I the only one who wants to see Ruthie Henshall as Elphaba and thinks she will bring a very different dimension of the role?

Okay if they were ever going to do stuntcasting for Wicked (I know cringe) I could see Megan Mullaly (sp) would be a wonderful Glinda!
