New WICKED Cast Replacements this month and next? — Page 41

WesleyJames said: "here’s a lot of buzz around Wicked's casting changes, but nothing’s been confirmed yet. Jennifer DiNoia's departure could mean Stephanie Torns as standby and Carla Stickler as the new understudy. Alyssa Fox might replace Jenny Fellner as Nessarose, but again, it's just speculation. For Teal Wicks and Katie Rose Clarke, Donna Vivino and Chandra Lee Schwartz are possible replacements, though no official word yet. It’ll be exciting to see how it all unfolds!

I- what??

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.

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??

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”

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.

It just has to be Lissa deGuzman, with Lauren Samuels as the new standby.

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.

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

Sweaty Oracle just posted that Lencia Kebede from the Hamilton US Tour is going to be the next Elphaba https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NewTJH/

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

I wonder who the next Glinda will be

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.
