According to Kyle Dean Massey, he is back at "Wicked." However, I have seen no articles yet saying that he returned to the role of Fiyero. Nor does the official website list him as Fiyero:

The website was quick to update that Christy Candler returned to the role of Nessarose. Is Kyle playing Fiyero full-time again or is he in the ensemble or an understudy.

Plus Richard H. Blake was just interviewed at broadway.com last week and didn't mention anything about leaving.

He mentioned in an interview a while ago that he would be playing Fiyero for a short time the end of the summer. I do not know how long that short time is,it is to play Fiyero I'm assuming while Richard is away either on vacation or maybe he has a short term project or something else that requires his full attention

He is playing Fiyero. Not sure for how long, but it is temporary.

There's a rumor that Richard's wife is pregnant and he'll be taking some time off from the show to spend time with his wife and his new child.

Too bad Richard H. Blake (another of the Grandpa Fiyeros) can't just depart. Massey is much, much better.

Kyle Dean is back for a few weeks. Just saw him again over the weekend and while he doesn't look as bored as last time he made Fiyero way too comical now. He still has one of the better voices and is a great dancer. Plus looks the age of his co-stars and doesn't like like their dad as some Fiyero's do.
