Very often the ensemble is the last to know anything.
I will stick to the sources that I know are informed, they are much closer to casting than Ms. Waldman. If Saycon was given the role I'd be delighted, but at present Eden is in the "lead" as they say.

Posted: 8/18/05 at 6:00amAre you trying to hint that Saycon is taking over and Eden is gonna be Nessa? (You might also hinting Eden is gonna be the Elphie standby..)

Posted: 8/18/05 at 11:09amDefyingEDCT. Where did you get your info- just out of curiosity. Sigh.... wish Ana'd stay here for a year... but I just don't see it happenin even if she doesn't go to Broadway.

I can basically guarantee you that DefyingEDCT is pulling this out of his/her rear.
Idina won't be reprising her role.

Posted: 8/18/05 at 2:54pmI got to see Ana four weeks ago and she was absolutely wonderful. She'd be great on the Great White Way but what do you think about getting another big profile name to play Elphaba...say Heather Headley. She's been wanting to get back to Broadway supposedly and I can just imagine her rendition of "Defying Gravity." I think she'd be great...but I'd love to see Ana in NYC too...

If you produced "Wicked", then why would you have needed to start this thread, wouldn't you have known the answers yourself?

Posted: 8/18/05 at 5:41pmBut you would have unfettered access to the composer so you would have been able to ask him point blank.
#68re: Ana replacing Shoshana in January?
Posted: 8/18/05 at 5:43pmHe didn't let anyone know about them. He wont tell people where they are unless you find them yourself.

Ha. Ha. I love how everyone has their sources. We've had about 5 different DEFINITIE answers for who will be the next Elphaba, but I'll take Defying's advice because, as you know, he is a major producer of Wicked. Oh and defying, on another thread you said you were intrigued about how someone SAID Laura Bell Bundy demanded perks, but as a producer shouldn't you know all about this? I mean, you were supposed to pay her....

Posted: 8/18/05 at 6:41pmI didn't pay her. I have other people who do that. My job is to watch the money roll in.

Posted: 8/18/05 at 6:49pmYet you had to ask people on a website when you obviously had to be in the know? Get your facts straight bud :)

I don't think Eden would go back to the Broadway company as anyone but Elphaba right now. I don't think she'd stand by for the role again either.
I also love how everyone seems to know who's taking over. I think basically every actress currently playing or standing by for the role has been mentioned now.
