I hope the Lencia rumors are true! I saw her as Angelica when she understudied the role back in 2022 and she was amazing! Her riffs on Satisfied was Chef's Kiss

Laurel was stepping in as a standby in July when Lissa was doing Waitress at the Muny. So, unless Lissa books another show, it should be Lissa covering in January.

I think Lauren Samuels and Allison Bailey would be a really strong duo

It’s certainly past due for a black actress to lead as Elphaba. No offense to Miss Samuels, but a black actress leading is more important and needs to happen.

Agreed, she should be paired with Christy Altomare

Your obsession with Christy Altomare is absolutely unhinged.

Has anyone mentioned Christy Altomare for Glinda? She'd be really good.

Jake Pedersen‘s final performance as Boq will be 3/2

I wonder when Jordan's final performance is he's amazing it is going to be hard to find a replacement for him. I'm hoping for Derek Klena if not they should just extend Jordan's contract for another year or two.

lol I doubt it’s hard to find a replacement for him. Derek already played the role.

I like Christy too but I feel like she would have been cast for this a long time ago if they wanted her.
I'd still like to see Allie Trimm get a turn as Glinda. And Julie Benko as Elphaba.
Jordan has had a longer run than recent Fiyeros so will be interesting to see if he extends again.

Disney probably wants Jordan to play Gaston in the Beauty and the Beast tour

MKM is leaving the Broadway production in early March. Does anyone have any theories as to who could be replacing her, aside from the rumor that it could be the person who recently played Angelica on the national tour of Hamilton? Or any thoughts on if Alexandra Socha will extend her contract?

Allegedly, the new Glinda is someone who has played the role before.
