April 15th is Katie's last day with the show as the Glinda stand-by. I'm very sad to see her leave but there is so much ahead of her in her very bright future.

Quite a lot on both the tour and Broadway, I believe. I remember her being on for Wicked Day.
She went a few times a month.
I think when Kate Reinders was Glinda she only missed like 10 shows... and 2 of them weren't played by Katie.
Kendra's missed a few shows already (1 confirmed, so far).
Megan Hilty missed a bunch back in the day.
She was my Glinda back in August along with Lori Ann Ferreri as Nessa and Clyde Alves as Chistery, all of whom were incredibly gracious at the stage door. Katie and Lori stayed and talked to my sister and I for about 5 minutes, and Clyde (My sister thought he was cute so she screamed down the street for him to come back...) seemed genuinely surprised that anyone knew who he was, let alone ask him for an autograph.
...she now calls him her Monkey-Boyfriend.
But thats besides the point! Katie Adams was wonderful! Best of luck to her!
"Megan Hilty missed a bunch back in the day."
She did?
Most of the Glinda's I've seen had a definite strength - either vocally or comedically. Katie had probably the best balance of both out of all I've seen. I enjoyed her performance and I wish her well!
i saw her in place for megan hilty and katie was great

Will Katie get to perform on her last day? Otherwhys it seems kind of like a boring last show...

I'm seeing WICKED on April 18th and I hope Kendra is in...saw her on tour and once so far in NYC and thought she was hilarious. Never saw Katie Adams, but I hear she was excellent in the role.

According to Wikipedia, Katie was replaced by Alli Mauzey. Does anybody know anything about her or some of the works she's been in?
Alli's been Brenda in both the Hairspray tour and on Broadway. She's also done City of Angels at Reprise in LA and 110 in the Shade at Pasadena Playhouse. She's absolutely fabulous and I'm sure she'll be wonderful.
I saw Alli go on as Penny early on in the Hairspray tour. She was excellent.
The one and only Glinda to me is and will always be Megan Hilty. I adore her!
What does that have to do with Katie leaving?
