The clue was never a broadway name, ya’ll read too much into it. It was that we have heard of her, she is very well known for her work in hedwig.

Would not be mad about this! I loved her in Hedwig and from little snippets I’ve heard of her in Evita. She’ll be amazing.

Pure speculation but, the pieces do add up. Especially if you look at Ms. Corneau’s Instagram post. Very subtle nod, but it was not lost on Wicked fans :)

Indeed very subtle, but adding to the caption of the photo, if you compare the photo to a compass. She’s looking to the west...

I'd say anytime between tomorrow and the day before the show, it's hard to tell with Bway announcements. I'm betting on sometime in April. But now that we have an idea who Elphaba is, I say we use up more and more space on this thread figuring out who the new Fiyero is! And who's gonna replace Mariand and Erin after the tour even though they just started, lol, just kidding.

I’m going to guess 3-4 weeks before JV departs and announcement will be made. That seems to be the window when a new actor is taking over a lead role.

I’m curious if Jake Boyd would go back into the show for a lengthier run.

That would be awesome. He's probably the best Fiyero I've seen (and just a really nice person, too).

Does anyone know when Alice Fearn and Sophie Evans are leaving Wicked in London? Who's replacing them?

I don't know when they're leaving but I do remember reading that they renewed their contracts fairly recently? Within the last few months? I know lengths of contracts vary, I'm aware of that. But I don't think we should expect a replacement announcement from the UK production any time soon.

Cast change is July 20th, most of the principal and ensemble actors should be leaving.

I would love for Laura Pick to be promoted to Lead Elphaba she's great in the role.

Zach Adkins, Cody Simpson and Colton Ryan have all received Fiyero callbacks this time around.

Is that an April Fools Joke? Didn't Zach Adkins play Fieyro already or was that Derek? As a big Cody fan back in the day,I can't imagine him as Fieyro but I never pictured him for Dmitry either

@MannPhann: yes, it was Derek Klena, not Zach Adkins, who already played Fiyero (in 2013, I think).
I'd believe that Zach and Cody (heh) were called back, but it's the Colton Ryan bit that gives me pause. Is he tall enough? Literally, Fiyero does have a height requirement of 5'11" or taller, I believe, and Colton doesn't read that tall.
#271

Cody was ultra tall (I think 6"2) when I last saw him when he was about 17 so he'd be fine in height for Fieyro . I just can't imagine him being vocally capable enough for that whole Dancing Through Life Scene.

Not true. Curt Hansen, Michael Seelbach, and I’m pretty sure Kristoffer Cusick was under 5’11”

It probably depends on the heights of whomever are playing Elphaba or Glinda. If the witches are on the short side, they can probably work around that height requirement.
