I was wondering if there were any set dates in Chicago where we know Stephanie will be out and Jenna is going to be playing Elphaba? Thanks. :)

I'm seeing it on Tuesday (May 31) and Stephanie emailed me and told me that she'll be out that day. She said she's still recovering and her doctor put her on a limited schedule. So there's a good chance that Jenna will perform that day. I just hope it's not the other understudy.

However--they have been putting Maria whatever (the OTHER Elphaba u/s) on the last few times..so she might be getting equal time as Jenna now since Jenna has done the role a few times!

Hopefully you'll get to see Jenna..she's awesome!

There are union rules as to how many times one understudy can go on before the other one does. I think Jenna has prett mcuh maxed hers out for a while, until Maria cathces up some. Plus it is smart for the producers to have Maria start eariler on in the tour, rather than be rusty later, when people expect more from an established tour that has already been to two cities.

Thanks, everyone, for the info! I saw Maria and she did really, really GREAT, but I was REALLY hoping to see Jenna.
