I- what??

Usually usernames ‘ensemble’ with a random assortment of numbers means it’s a bot. Looks like the bot was using information from the initial post rather than recent replies.

Did you just wake up from a 10-year coma?
LOL I so wish that Donna Vivino could return to the role of Elphaba. Teal Wicks was my first Elphaba.
I am hoping it is Christine Dwyer and Christy Altomare as Elphaba and Glinda but that is probably unlikely. It will probably be either Lauren Samuels or Lisa DeGuzman taking over as Elphaba. Allison Bailey possibly for Glinda.
I could also see Laurel Harris coming back she came back recently as a temporary standby and still hasn’t performed the role full-time on Broadway. I would love for Laura Pick and Sophie Evans to come over from the UK but that is highly unlikely. Carrie St. Louis coming back I also think is a possibility.

There have been various rumors about cast changes, including Stephanie Torns and Carla Stickler stepping into new roles, but nothing is confirmed yet. As for Teal and Katie's replacements, Donna Vivino and Chandra Lee Schwartz are possibilities, though no official announcements have been made. It's best to follow official sources like the Wicked fan page for updates on these changes.

The person who played Young Celie in the Color Purple posted on her Instagram Story “@laurelnyc FOREVER!!!!! I want her full time, face on the side of the gershwin!” and Laurel Harris reposted it and said “Aww I love you thank you!!! “
Could it be Laurel??

Ginna Claire was at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade today would she ever come back? Alison Bailey also deserves to play Glinda FT on Broadway her Glinda was exceptional.
I am still hoping for Christine Dwyer and Christy Altomare
We don’t need any grandma Glindas coming back. My vote goes to Emma Pittman for Glinda. She was fabulous in the Outsiders. I would kill to see Amber Iman as Elphaba
Im sure we’ll find out soon about Elphaba. Let’s see who puts in their two weeks first for their “vacation”

that’s an amazing idea! I also think Taylor Louderman would make a great Glinda

Highly Unlikely! but I would love for Annaleigh Ashford to return to the role she’s only 39 so I think she can still play the part. Rachel Potter is criminally underrated I also think she should have another go at the part.
I would also love for one of the witches from the West End to cross over we haven’t had that since Rachel Tucker. I think Sophie Evans would pair really well with Lauren Samuels from the US Tour. I also think Lucie Jones, Laura Pick or Alice Fearn would be a good fit with the Broadway Audience.
Mary Kate Morrissey's replacement will not be a white presenting actress.
It just has to be Lissa deGuzman, with Lauren Samuels as the new standby.
I sure hope not. Lauren is 100 times better

How do you know?? They were doing open calls do you think it is someone unknown. If so, they should be paired with a seasoned Glinda or if they are doing a new Glinda it should be Christy Altomare she would be sensational.
You've said Christy Altomare 3 times on this page alone...

Jeanna De Waal (played the part on tour) or Taylor Louderman as Glinda

Sheryl Lee Ralph should come back as Morrible

Wow, I would love to see that! I've seen Hamilton many, many times over the years and Lencia is THE best Angelica I've ever seen live. Her voice is incredible and I can totally see her playing Elphaba

If this is true, she’ll be the first black actor to lead as Elphaba in any US production! Finally!!!!

I’m hesitant to believe this, but she is currently following/followed by MK Morrissey, Lissa deGuzman, and Alyssa Fox on instagram. Seems like this could be legit.

I wonder who the next Glinda will be

Feels 20 years overdue IMO. Make this the new norm!

Do we know who is replacing MKM when she takes off in January? It’s probably Lissa but I know Laurel has stepped in for MK in July.
