Posted: 2/24/15 at 1:21pmDidn't Willemijn Verkaik also suffer a back injury while doing the show in London? Is there something specific about the role that could cause something like this to happen?

Posted: 2/24/15 at 1:25pm^I'm not a chiropractor, nor do I have any personal knowledge of the situation, but the stage for Wicked has an insane rake on it. I could see how running up and down it 8 times a week could potentially cause injuries for some.

Hard to say what caused it, could be overuse. Hopefully she benefits from the time off though.
It's been a rough month for Elphabas ... all three companies have seen their leads needing time off, with actual replacements for Broadway and 1NT.

Posted: 2/26/15 at 3:03pmCara Lindsay was out on WED. Her standby Tess Soltau was on (she is fantastic). Does anyone know if Cara is out all week, or just out for a few day due to illness, etc?. thanks.

I saw Wicked last night with Christine Dwyer as Elphaba and Kara Lindsay as Glinda. They are both fantastic!
I specifically went to see Christine because I loved her performance the first time and this was a rare chance to see her back in the role. Whether or not you like Wicked, there is no denying that this woman is talented as anything. I was absolutely blown away by her in all the big songs - Wizard and I, Defying Gravity, No Good Deed. Her voice is big and expressive, vulnerable when need be and she's a great actress. She did not miss a single beat the entire show. I think she's in for a few more days - get to the Gershwin to see it.
I know she's doing Murder Ballad in DC in April and is the lead in Violet out in I think Minnesota for like 10 days in June. I hope she's back on Broadway very soon.
Kara Lindsay was delightful as well. She's very funny and her Glinda transformation was excellent. I enjoyed her in Act I but truly appreciated her in Act II.

Posted: 3/16/15 at 2:45pmI read on another board that Jennifer DiNoia is gonna be starting for a few weeks on Thursday. Is this true? Anyone know how long she'll be in for? Got tickets for for 4/2 and would love to see her again after catching her in LA.

I saw that info on the Wicked fan message board. It certainly seems plausible.
If this is true, the Wicked LLC MVP award would have to go to Jenny DiNoia as she would be leading her third company in as many months.
Assuming she is taking over, I wouldn't be surprised if you saw her on April 2. Caroline Bowman has said she hoped to be back around the end of March but it's plausible that DiNoia would close out that full week.

Posted: 3/16/15 at 7:29pmI saw Caroline on a week or two before she left, and I hope she is able to come back because she was really starting to find her place in the role. In particular, her No Good Deed sounded fantastic. I'm seeing the show Thursday so I am curious about who I will see on!

Posted: 3/16/15 at 7:44pmJenny is indeed joining the Broadway company. It has been made official on the cast list on the show's website. Lilli Cooper has tweeted she is on Tuesday and Wednesday, and Jenny will be having her first show on Thursday, unless something changes
#62Christine Dwyer Back in Wicked
Posted: 3/16/15 at 8:28pmHow long is Jenny joining the Broadway company for? I've been meaning to see her as Elphaba for years and don't want to miss out this time.
#63Christine Dwyer Back in Wicked
Posted: 3/16/15 at 8:49pmIt's unknown. She could be here for a week, or more. It all depends on when Caroline gets approved to go back to the show. I would see her as soon as possible

Posted: 3/27/15 at 12:34amFor those who haven't had the chance to see Jenny, go. She is amazing and one of if not the most well traveled Elphabas. When she went to London I think I saw that it was her sixth company and at least fourth country (I'm not sure if she went to Canada on tour) of Wicked. I have had the opportunity to see her multiple times, and she is definitely my favorite.

Is Caroline back in the role? I am seeing the show tomorrow and saw Jenny a few years ago and, while I loved her, would like to see a fresh take on the role.

Caroline is indeed back.

Yeah, sorry, she had an allergy attack (idk where I got asthma from). But that was my point anyway: that she couldn't go on for atlanta opening night. The next night, she only did half the show.
