Does anybody know who will be replacing Idina for Elphaba starting Jan. 10?

On another note, how long do you think Wicked will be on Broadway?? I'm getting contrasting answers from quite a few people. Many say that the most it'll last would be 10 years, while others say it's too good to stop that soon. Any opinions?

I think it will last quite awhile if it keeps the 2 leads(Galinda and Elphaba) as two very talented people instead of getting pop stars.

Here, i'll give you a nice answer. I really hope it lasts for the next 10 years because I am dead set on playing Elphaba and I have to get through college first. So it has to last another 5 years and then another 15 or so so that I can be green for as long as my contract will keep me. But seriously, I do think it will last 10 years at least.

yeah, that's what i'm hoping too and that's why I asked that question. Haha... i guess many have high hopes for playing Elphaba

and i'm very SORRYYYY on asking who would REPLACE Idina. Nobody can replace her :) Updated On: 9/19/04 at 11:26 AM

There are quite a lot of people who could replace her.

Oh. I thought you were talking about Idina Leo Grey.

[Matt_G]

Posted: 9/19/04 at 11:41am

as a replacement, i mean. why, what were you talking about?

Idina's last performance for Wicked is on January 9th 2005. My question was asking who would be the next Elphaba.

[Matt_G]

Posted: 9/19/04 at 11:43am

Right, that's why I said Idina Menzel.

I think it is a shame that Idina hasn't yet won her well-deserved TONY.

I can't believe that Hugh Jackman beat her this year.

oh you kids behave
as of yet, no one has been announced, but Shoshana Bean will probably get offered the part because she's the current Elphaba standby. I HIGHLY suggest you get the Godspell CD (2000 Off-BWay version) and listen to Bless the Lord to find out how phenomenal this woman is
