Me too! She's so fabulous. And deserves a chance to lead a role on Broadway beyond the age of 15 lol.

The West End Production recently announced their 2025-2026 cast and included Elphaba Alternate (Laura Emmitt). I hope Broadway and the National Tour also include an Alternate in their next cast announcements.

I tried attaching the photos but they wont show Ginna Claire posted that she has been covering Newberry for the week and then posted a series of photos of her rehearsing and "first time back in the bubble in 3yrs"https://www.instagram.com/stories/ginnaclaire/3549193658706106900/?hl=en
i'm surprised Understudies.org doesn't have someone report on the u/s & swings for Wicked. there's never anyone listed on their site as going on. even a swing here & there.

Wicked is notorious for cracking down on cast members reporting on when they're out. I'm actually surprised that Mary Kate Morrissey announced her vacation on social media.

How do you know this? Aren't there measures in place that prevent people from telling that they're going into a show beforehand? Is this a violation of some sort of NDA? Or does Broadway not care about these things

New here, huh?
Kebede and Trimm both confirmed via WICKED's socials. They begin March 4.

When was the last time they hired a brand new Elphaba? Any recent ones have come from the tour, were a standby or from the West End or Europe.

Lindsay Heather Pearce and Hannah Corneau were both brand new to Wicked when they debuted as Elphaba in the Broadway production.
Williams just confirmed as Morrible.
Also starting March 4 are Jenna Bainbridge as Nessarose and Danny Quadrino as Boq.
I have been manifesting Jenna as Nessarose ever since I saw her in Suffs this past fall! So thrilled for her! (Even if it should not have taken this long to cast an authentic wheelchair user...)
I haven't seen Wicked since 2012 and this new cast is STACKED and historic so I'm hoping to make a return trip!
