Do you think Annaleigh would be sent back to Wicked on broadway again?
I would NOT be surprised if she did. I hope she does come back, she was brilliant in the role.
I could also see her being Becky's replacement on the LB tour, or Inga on the upcoming Young Frankenstien tour.

I loved Annaleigh as Glinda. She's confirmed to be closing Chicago, but after that I wouldn't be surprised.
I really hope she replaces Kendra again. I have nothing against Kendra, I just love Annaleigh
I hope she can stick with the Adams Family thing - that'd be nice for her to get a new thing on her resume
The addams family would be a great career move but is that going to pick up?
that would be great if she replaces kendra, and if family addams picks up too. i wish her all the best.
i have nothing againist kendra either, i wish her the best too after wicked.
I don't know, I kind of like my Glinda's to be funny; something Annaleigh wasn't the two times I saw her.
I've seen 4 Galindas, and Annaleigh's made me laugh the hardest. Maybe she was just on, but she was downright hilarious.

Annaleigh was hilarious when I saw her.
There's a difference between honesty and being a bitch.
I adore Annaleigh, and probably would run to the Gershwin if Annaleigh ever came back to Wicked just to see her perform as Glinda live again. However, I hope she does something new after she's done in Chicago. I would love to see her in The Addams Family as well, or even Catch Me If You Can (if she's even still attached in that?). Over the summer, Annaleigh said that she doesn't know what she's doing after. I can't wait to see her back on Broadway.
I really hope not. I've seen 7 Glindas and Annaleigh was definitely the worst.
shh282, were you at the same performance I was? The girl lacked comic timing. No one was laughing. I'm sorry that my disagreeing makes me a bitch.

Kalimba, so harsh!
(I totally agree though)
Okay- let's get to the bottom of this.
I saw Annaleigh once, on the evening of April 5, 2008 performing opposite SJB and had the audience in stitches, and me as well!
My other Galindas:
Alli Mauzey
Erin Mackey
Kendra Kassebaum
Please do what I did. Maybe there is a reason why our opinions differ.

I saw Annaleigh 12 times(In NY and Chicago) and everytime she has made me laugh ALOT. Only Katie Rose Clarke has made me laugh harder. I have seen 6 different Glinda's also.
DefyGravity777 how many times have you seen wicked?

28 but that's not the point of this thread is it.
How was Alli Mauzey (one of the true bright lights in Cry Baby)?
I don't think she is still attached to the Addams family because they posted an open call for wednesday addams on Playbill.

^^ Are you asking me that? I never saw her. I only started seeing the show in Jan of this year. If that question is not for me then nevermind....LOL.
Of all the Glindas I've seen (Chenoweth, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Megan Hilty, Kate Loprest, Kate Reinders, Kendra, and Stacey Morgan Lewis), the only one worse than Annaleigh Ashford was Kate Reinders. Of course, no on has come close to touching Chenoweth in the role, but that's besides the point.
My main problem with Ashford was that her Glinda lacked any depth. There was little transformation in the character between acts 1 and 2. To be honest, however, most Glindas have this problem, however.
sorry just curious. is annaleigh your favorite glinda?
