Helene Yorke Playbill Listing

Good Morning,

I was going through my old playbills to see who I have seen in various productions. I noticed I saw Helene Yorke as Glinda in the second national tour of Wicked in 2009, however in her Bullets Over Broadway Playbill Listing, as Olive Neal in 2014, her time in Wicked isn’t listed. Would there be a specific reason why Helene Yorke’s Bullets Over Broadway Playbill listing would not include Wicked?


Thank you!

BrodyFosse is very likely correct.

Though I do find it a bit strange that she would prioritize her Off-Broadway credits over her touring credits, especially given that those Off-Broadway credits were "Walmartopia" and "What's That Smell." I'll reserve judgements on those shows, since I didn't see them, but they seem pretty random and obscure. I'm surprised she'd include those over her touring credits, which included recognizable shows like Wicked and High School Musical. Maybe she's just more proud of those smaller shows, and wanted to give them as much exposure as she could.

Agents may write it but actors have final say on what’s in it. Most actors update their bios themselves or even write the entire thing themselves. I’ll admit I’ve written a least 5-6 Playbill bios of actor friends as I’m good with capsule writing. I always include their social media and websites whereas agents tend to skip.
