Keri is replacing Lencia and is leaving the standby role in a few weeks. Talia will be back to standby (and has scheduled shows the weekend of 2/7) while they rehearse the brand new standby.
Glinda is new to the show."
Christy Altomare?"
They have a middle name Rene only rule now, so Sherie Rene Scott is coming in as Glinda

Could see Christy playing the part but, i'm honestly hoping for Taylor Louderman or Emma Pittman

Professional theatre debut? Or have they done regional/touring work?

I believe the new Glinda is Emma Flynn who did Clueless in the West End.

She was sensational in that-a total, can't take your eyes off her, star. I literally left the show thinking to myself, "I hope her next job is Glinda on Broadway".

Not to look a gift in the mouth, but interesting to see how the community at large reacts to this casting

I only saw one comment so far about the lack of diversity. It's so interesting when they talk about that and then turn around and praise the casting that actually happens and say things like "it's been a long time coming!" "so deserved" like- which one do you want?

"Additional new principal casting will be announced in the coming weeks."
I wonder who they will get I am honestly hoping they bring back Kevin Chamberlin as the Wizard he was by far the best wizard Wicked has ever had but, maybe I am biased because I loved him as Bertram on Jessie. I hope Jordan Litz stays on he is the best Fiyero.
I hope they get a good Morrible!

Between tour and Broadway I think Jordan has been with the show for over three years? I'm guessing he's leaving. He has two daughters at home and most likely wants to spend time with them.

You can be American and a West End star. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

Both genius pieces of casting. Have seen Keri in the role and thought she was exquisite.

I’m surprised Isaac Cole Powell hasn’t played Fiyero yet

A small part of me did roll my eyes and seeing two white girls in the leads yet again, but they’re both first time principals and I think that’s great. As long as they continue to leave all roles open to everyone, and actually adhere to that, it should be fine.

So white girls aren't allowed to dream of playing these iconic roles? I agree- leave it open to everyone. Don't attack those who are cast in these roles saying "it should have gone to a BIPOC". We're not limiting it. That just happened to be the casting this time around.

I know the roles have been announced but Christy is also pregnant so I doubt she would have auditioned for this
