As ridiculous and early as this thread is, Kendra is taking over for Annaleigh.

I was under the impression that Kendra's return fell through.

I doubt that Laura Bell Bundy would go back to Wicked after starring in an original broadway show. If I remember correctly, she was offered the part when Kristin left, because she was the original stand-by for the role, but turned it down.

If LBB is having trouble with Legally Blonde's score, there is no way that she can sing Wicked again.

Laura Bell Bundy didn't turn Glinda down, she messed up any chances of doing the show.
When is Block leaving the show?

Her contract lasts until April, but she can extend until June.

Yeah, I also heard that the Kendra return fell through, messing up the "original tour cast" thing Kendra and Stephanie wanted.

i second natalie weiss

LOVE HER!

I love Natalie but start her on the tour or maybe as a standby. She is young to take over such a demanding role. Maybe even start as a Nessa.

I would love to see Jonathan Groff as Feyero!

i do hope stephanie and annaleigh both stay through the summer. saw the youtube videos and fell in love with them. i think it should be lisa bresia as elphie and a stand by for glinda.

I really like Natalie Weiss, and I'd love for her to be Elphaba eventually. I think she should be start off with Nessa first. That'd be awesome. I really think that Lisa Brescia should be Elphaba after SJB.

I agree about Lisa.

Christina DeCicco as Glinda please. Why cant Kendra move on?

I recently read a rumour on "the forbidden site" (can't remember the clip and link) but it said that when Stephanie and Annaleigh leave, their being replaced by Victoria Matlock and Jennifer Laura Thompson. As I've said, it's a rumour so wether it will happen or not is unknown.

[winston89]

I thought Bundy messed up any chanes with Wicked when she pissed off the producers.


I think that Kendra isn't moving on because it is a job. Clearly one she is good at other wise they wouldn't be keeping her around this long.

I'd definitely be down for some Natalie Weiss action! I wonder if she could hold up for 8 shows a week though. Perhaps as a stand-by first and then get to take over? I think her being cast in Wicked is one of few ways to get me to pay full price for a ticket again.

Cheers,

Christopher

Eh please no LBB. Annaleigh was enough from Blonde. Annaleigh was better pre-LB and LBB was not even that good as a standby. Hate to see what her Glinda looks like now if it's the same case with her.
Besides, there are plenty of deserving people waiting on the wings.

Sorry my wi-fi was acting weird DP.
