Her official facebook confirms it! Jennifer will replace Nicole Parker as lead Elphaba in mid-july! :) Any thoughts on this matter? Congrats Jennifer! This spot was well deserved!

I assumed she bought a pencil.

You need to rename this thread. I thought it was something I cared about. Practically no one on the board knows whoever the hell this is.

I've worked with Jennifer, and she's a sweetheart! This couldn't happen to a better person. And (while I don't care for the show), her Elphaba is fantastic!

I don't think anyone would care even if the title WAS renamed.

After seeing both Jennifer and Nicole in the role, I have to say Jennifer was quite better. Much braver on the riffing, and equally as talented an actress. She absolutely deserved it!

My friend texted me earlier today with the news. I'm happy for her... but not the biggest fan of her. I'll have to see, I'm only judging from recordings on that site, she's probably better live. Although I have to say I would have much rather had Julie Reiber get the lead being I find her voice much better... she's been slapped in the face twice now... once in LA and once on Broadway.


You really should re-name this thread, I knew what it meant, but most people probably don't.

Since it's not on her facebook, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

I'm pretty sure that Susan Boyle is taking over from Nicole.

She may have taken the news off her facebook because if she just has an offer, and no contract, it could jeopardize the whole situation. Plus the producers would rather have the news go out via press release, not someone's facebook.

I doubt a facebook posting would jeapordize her offer.

I love Jennifer's Elphaba! Get it girl!


As much as I love Julie Reiber, I don't like her Elphaba as much as I have some others, namely Caissie Levy who DID take over the role. Amazing actress with an amazing voice, that Levy is.


I know, right?
