Anyone know who the next Elphaba is going to be? I know there were rumors going around about Lea Solanga, because she said she wanted to play Elphaba.
Anyway, anyone know anything else?
Thanks...

kanga- dont open pandoras box... youll be mulling this one over for a long time after this is over- at least until they choose the person.

My vote-personally- is for Shoshana.

Like my opinion counts to them.

Kangs... i feel bad for you, here is the sparknotes of the other Elphaba threads....

97% say Steph Block, then someone throws in a Carol Channing or a Harvey Fierstien, people laugh, people cry, others yell, it's a good time... spare yourself.

I am ALL for Sherie giving it a shot!

I'm going to agree with "theoneandonly" but for my money, Sherri Scott as Galinda and Orfeh as Elphaba would be genius. Can you imagine those songs being sung by rich, lovely, powerful voices that don't have a hint of affectation or screeching to them? There was a thread about Orfeh playing the Witch on All that "Crap" a while back. I have to say, it was one of the very few times I've agreed with anything said on that miserable board.

Sherie has such a great belt it would be a shame for us not to be able to see what she could do with some of those songs.

Heather Headley would be FIERCE as Elphaba. She would blast the hell out of Defying Gravity.

instead of defying Gravity, she'd have to belt out a number about Broadway being a pit stop while opening her mouth wider than Glinda's bubble.
