Laura Osnes definitely made her Broadway debut over a decade ago.

Oh sorry. I thought they meant their debut in Wicked. I’m tired and obviously not reading well. Lol.
Hmmm..,So are we talking a musical reality tv show? Hmmm...

She's also posted a couple 'clues' on her Instagram story.

As a nerd of those singing shows like American Idol and The Voice. Here are my dream Elphabas .
Alisan Porter (she has Broadway credits though )
Maelyn Jarmon(has a theater background )
Emily West(she posted about being in NYC recently )
India Carney
Meghan Linsey (was in talks to do Waitress to replace Jessie Mueller but things seemed to had fallen through when she got a spider bite on her face )
Ada Vox(drag queen from American Idol,lol)
Brynn Cartelli(she's only 17 though I think)

Posted: 2/12/20 at 9:33amThere's also Chloe Kohanski and Haley Reinhart (she's on tour this spring though so I doubt it's her )

Posted: 2/12/20 at 9:35amJust checked Maelyn's Instagram stories and she was trying to balance a broom with her fiance . Is that the "clue"?

Posted: 2/12/20 at 10:02amI don’t know why these people keep you guessing instead of just saying who it is. It’s Lindsay Pearce.

Very excited about Lindsay. Do we know anything about who the new Fiyero will be?

Completely agree! I thought these message boards were for sharing updates and not playing a game of Clue :)

Well the investigation is over. Alison Luff (former Elphie) has wished her luck and she's followed by both GC and Hannah. Though this is REALLY unusual for it to be 10 days away and still no announcement.

Posted: 2/13/20 at 10:17amI have no earthly clue why wicked waits to announce these major cast changes until two weeks before their debuts.
New WICKED Cast Replacements this month and next?#442
Posted: 2/13/20 at 10:28amI saw Sam Gravitte on tour and loved his Fiyero, so I’m thrilled he gets to play the role full-time!

Is it just me or do the headshots of the new Fiyero and Elphaba make them look like siblings?
Also, I’m so sad Hannah had such a short run. I know 9 months is the standard contract, but I wish she could’ve been given a 12 or 14 month contract like some these other long run elphabas.

Posted: 2/13/20 at 3:29pmAgree as Hannah missed all of June and most of July 2019, as Jenny took over. Very short run more like 7 and a half. Expected her to go the full year.

It's a darn shame! She one of the best Elphabas I've ever seen in the show! It's a wonder this was her debut. How has no show ever snatched her up before? I hope she has a healthy career on Broadway to follow.
And it sucks that they make these announcements for close to the end of their run. It makes it very hard for anyone that wants to catch the current performers in the role before they depart to make it happen.

Posted: 2/13/20 at 8:00pmYeah I was curious to see how many Elphabas have had a longer run, and according to Playbill.com, hardly any of them have ever gotten contracts longer than around nine months, and they never get renewed, although they sometimes come back later for a short stint. It’s kind of weird.

Its more to due with the demands of the show. The Elphie role is incredibly taxing on the actress vocally. 9 months is enough for most without a break. Some have gone a year at a time (examples: Shoshana, Mary Kate Morrissey on tour, etc). But that's not standard. Glinda on the other hand can play forever and GC is such a natural at it I hope she's around a long time (long enough to reunite with Mary Kate in her broadway debut as Elphie).

I too hope Ginna Claire has a long run! Wonder what the longest Glinda record on Broadway is? I think I read Amanda Jane Cooper’s was over 2 years when the returned to repise the role? My hope is to see Ginna Claire reunite with Mary Kate Morrissey and Sam Gravitte still be Fiyero!
