And Janet Dacal will replace her, I'm assuming on February 15th or 16th, following Wonderland's engagement in Houston through February 14!

What are the exciting announcements to come? Is it that pesky Elphaba rumour again?

Her twitter said something like "expanding and I don't mean in height." Sounds pregnant to me.

I'm excited to see Janet take over the role of Nina. I've been waiting to see the show again with some new faces and I can't wait to go back.

Off topic but, I was cruising the In The Heights wikipedia page and saw under Cast Replacements that:

"Adrienne Bailon will replace Marcy Harriell as Vanessa on February 23, 2010."

There's no citation so take it with a grain of salt, but I suppose two leads of Disney fame are better than one?

^ Some people have known about this for over month. But some idiot on here kept posting that the next Elphaba would be a famous Country singer. I knew that was BS.

I. Would. Love. This. Mandy paired with Katie Clarke would definitely get me to revisit the Gershwin Theatre.

It sounds like the only thing she is expecting is to be the next Elphaba. I can't wait to see her!

At first I thought she was pregnant as well after reading her Twitter and her Tweets. It just seems too likely that its Wicked. I mean she is leaving around the time Dee is which would give her time to learn the part. Either way I'm happy for her! I just would love to see her replace Dee.

"It just seems too likely that its Wicked. I mean she is leaving around the time Dee is which would give her time to learn the part."

Or it could also be a coincidence...

Yes because pregnancy & height are the only things that make you grow...
