Oh yes! There was a standing ovation when the conductor took their place, and extended applause after every entrance and song.

Ginna Claire is rocking it as Glinda. For someone who just had a baby to have all that energy on stage is something else. Hope she isn't leaving anytime soon.

I don’t know about replacements because DAMN the current cast is just out of this world amazing.

Ginna Claire gives me Kara Lindsay vibes…
Lindsay Heather Pierce-she just owns Elphaba. She’s perfect. She and Sam Gravitte have phenomenal chemistry too!
Michael McCormick…I’ve never been a huge fan of “Sentimental Man”, but he made me like it!!
The ensemble-they’re killing it.

If you can, go see this cast. They’re just out of this world amazing right now.

The Tour Cast is phenomenal as well. Talia Suskauer and Allison Bailey are a match made in heaven and Natalia Vivino as the Elphaba Standby is pure perfection. Im hoping Natalia Vivino and Kara Lindsay will be the broadway replacements but that wont be for a while. Also Christy Altomare for Glinda would be a great choice.

I wish I could see the tour cast!! It’s not going anywhere that would work for me though Hmm. I’ve heard people say Christy as Glinda and as big of a fan as I am…I just don’t see it. I don’t know why.

I first saw Ginna Claire when she was in the tour cast and immediately I loved her. Mary Kate Morrisey was the BEST Elphaba-those two were magic together. I’m hoping to see the current tour in November. And I’m also hoping to see the show in NYC while Ginna Claire is still in the show.

I saw her with Hannah Corneau as Elphaba and though she was outstanding. I liked Hannah too but Ginna Claire just blew me away. Interested to see how she does with Lindsay Pearce. Also want to see her with Jenny DiNoia.

Ginna Claire gave me Kara Lindsay vibes (I saw Kara Lindsay with Jenny DiNoia a few years ago). But GC and Lindsay Pearce are phenomenal together. Truly.

I would 100% support that!

Brittany was a great Glinda. I saw her as Glinda last year. Jordan Litz should audition for the Wicked Movie as well he is a great fiyero. I wonder how long until Curt comes back.

We had a witch switch tonight! Jenny Dinola took over after intermission and got her own well-deserved entrance applause.

This current Broadway cast is really firing on all cylinders. Especially Ginna Claire Mason, who is now one of my favorite Glindas. I can’t believe she was giving such an incredible performance so soon after giving birth. Super Woman!

Understudies and standbys are SO unappreciated by so many people. I’m glad Jenny got the appropriate reaction tonight and I hope Lindsay is okay!

Just watched an Instagram Live from last week of Alexandra Billings (incoming morrible). Billings stated in an Instagram Live last week she will be leaving the show sometime in February. Hope Kathy Fitzgerald (Granny) will replace her again.

They sound stronger and better than ever. I truly believe if they wanted to, they could.

Both of them have said they are open to it. It is the producers who are the problem who feel they are "too old". We need them back one final time.

I’m sorry, but Idina could never do it again 8 times a week.

[theatrekid3302]

Bring Back Jackie Burns or Rachel Tucker as an Alternate for Idina and Kara Lindsay as an Alternate for Kristin. They could do four shows a week while the alternates do the other four.

Agreed. They should bring them back for a special anniversary performance (maybe a benefit performance like RENT did for the 5th and 10th anniversaries!) and make a ton of money/hype. I was shocked when Idina sang Defying Gravity on Carpool Karaoke, in the original key. It would be a fantastic reunion.

They could do the 20th Anniversary and perform the whole month of October

That's very fair. I will say, she sounds better than she did in years past. The Frozen and If/Then era was not strong. Her voice has noticeably been better live in the last few years IMO.

Her performances have been so strong lately. If she ever were to return to Wicked I think she would be even better than she was the first time.

Does anyone know if Lindsay Pearce is coming back after her leave? Who will replace her if she doesn't come back?
