JLT is leaving soon so shouldn't they have announced a standby already since Megan is taking over the role?

When Shoshana took over, they didn't announce her stand-by until a few weeks AFTER she began. So, it could be a while.

That is true. I feel like there was more hype on who is going to be the new Elphaba standby then Glinda standby, or is that just me?

hopefully Angela Gaylor! Nah, just wishful thinking.

Is Stacie definately going to Chicago? If not, maybe she'll get bumped up to standby...

Stacie Morgan Lewis? Who was she considered as in Chicago?

Glinda. But now apparently Kate Reinders might do it in Chicago.

Oh.....I think it would be a good to give the ensemble people a chance to be moved up to standby. Does that ever happen? I thought Kristy would be the Elphaba standby.

Is Kristy officially the standby on tour now? What happens if Saycon cannot make a show that Shoshana can't make?

Kristy is going to be the standby in the sit-down Chicago production.

442, you mean once Kristy goes to Chicago? The person who replaces her on Broadway, I guess.

Kristy will also be taking the role over after Ana leaves.

Hey, I love Wicked, but I can't think of any other show that we talk about who will be the next STANDBY. Not even performer. Maybe I'm just crazy.

I say give it to Katie, since she was in GV which is going to be closing. She needs to be in a good show.

I wish it would be Jennifer Hope Wills. Hell - I wish she replaced JLT - but Megan is good. But I think Jennifer Hope could be one of the best Glinda's vocally - her voice is incredible!

Did Wicked audition or choose replacements for Elphaba or Glinda? Or do they just go with standbys?

I would also drop dead if it was Jennifer Hope. I love her voice, and she would do wonderfully as Glinda (better than JLT).

Sitting at Light in the Piazza, I couldn't help but think that Kelli O'Hara would be a fantastic Glinda. Particularly when she appeared in the pink dress.
Obviously, she's a little busy now, but Piazza closes in June. I wouldn't be surprised to see O'Hara up in the bubble sometime.
