The height requirement is literally in the audition breakdown, but casting sometimes makes exceptions (for example, Andy Mientus has played Boq and is definitely over 5’7).

Oh my god, I can't believe I just said that I mean Fiyero.

Okay I've heard from a few sources that the new Fiyero has been cast and it's Zach Adkins. Haven't heard anything from the cast, however. Ryan will be leaving around June-July they gave him some extra time that his original contract did not have to make up for his injury.
That was an april fools joke.

That doesn't make sense, at least the part about Ryan extending - hasn't he been doing a countdown to his last show on his Instagram?

I wonder why haven't we heard who's the new Fiyero yet? Is it a Temporary Replacement?

Jake Boyd is returning in some capacity. Whether it is an interim Fiyero like Curt was after APA, or he is the new full-time performer is yet to be announced.

Hear new Fiyero is definitely new to wicked and new standby is returning elphaba? No clue who exactly but that’s what I’ve heard

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I thought I read somewhere that Jennifer DiNoia was coming back. I could be totally wrong!
Yes. I believe Jennifer is returning as the standby while Laurel is on vacation.
Jennifer already returned. Laurel is back from vacation and is leaving in June. Jake Boyd is the next Fiyero, but like a previous poster said, unclear whether it’s just temporary or not.

Could Mary-Kate Morrisey be the new Elphaba Standby?

I believe earlier in this thread, there was a sturdy rumour that Mary-Kate Morrisey is going to be Janis in the Mean Girls tour this fall.

Olivia Valli?
Plus, Does anyone know when Hannah Corneau's Elphaba shots are coming out?
Im assuming they are doing press photos for her.
MK is apparently doing Wicked's Stars in the Alley performance tomorrow, so I'm assuming that means she's joining the company?
At this point, I guess I'm also assuming Jake Boyd is a shorter-term Fiyero, since they haven't actually announced him in the role. Last time they did that was with Curt Hansen filling in between Ashley Parker Angel and Ryan McCarten.

MK is not performing with Wicked, Laurel Harris is. MK is making an announcement about the show she's performing in, presumably Mean Girls. Laurel is leaving at some point in the near future but is being replaced by Jenny DiNoia (not when Jenny replaced her for her vacation, she's coming back for an actual run as standby)
Jennifer’s voice was not in great condition during her broadway run. I hope that she has had time to rest.

That's probably why she's returning in the standby capacity so she won't have to perform every night and will be able to have more fun with the role.
SO HAPPY JENNY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!
