A lot of people were hoping for Carly Augenstein (current s/b) to take over, but she has announced that she will be sticking around as the standby. A shame as she is the best we have seen in a debut contract in years.
I suspect it will be someone completely new to the show, which is why they are keeping her as is.
Both Lauren Samuels and Austen Danielle Bohmer will be leaving the tour after the Salt Lake City engagement. I expect an announcement of new principals will be coming before long.

The new cast will be performing the final week in SLC. It is a full principal change-over (minus Elphaba standby).

Here we go, Jessie Davidson and Zoe Jensen are going to be the new Tour witches. I have seen Jensen as Eliza Hamilton and i think she will be great in the role! Also, quite possibly, the first Glinda of Asian decent (?)
