It's weird that they would cast Ginna Claire Mason and not Mary Kate Morrisey they are a inseparable duo that are very hyped.
Happy we are getting a new elphaba though Any Hints?"
Mary Kate won’t be playing Elphaba for a reason that should be announced fairly soon.

By Mary-Kate?
It means she has another project, I don’t know who is going to annouce it, but it’s not wicked. She can do other things that isn’t wicked. Ginna Clarie is allowed to have another Elphaba.

Ariana DeBose would be a really good Elphaba

I agree Ariana DeBose would be an amazing Elphaba I also think Samantha Barks would be really good but she's in Pretty Woman.

Mary Kate Morrisey is doing a Concert Reading of Rattlesnake Kate could that be why she isn't available to be Elphaba.

I hope she’s replacing Barrett Wilbert Weed in Mean Girls
Oh, I have no idea what MKM has next, I was just restating what anislander said.
I was also making a point that GCM can have another Elphie, without MKM.

Christine Dwyer or Alyssa Fox would be AMAZING with Ginna Claire Mason but its probably a brand new Elphaba
I'm so curious about who it is Does anyone have any ideas?

A couple of names I have In mind
Alysha Deslorieux
Ariana DeBose
Hailey Kilgore
It's probably going to be someone we've never heard of before though

I'd love to see GC with Alison Luff or Emmy Raver-Lampman. They are both really different than a lot of her previous Elphabas and that would be cool to watch.

It's about time Alison Luff performs the role on Broadway it's amazing how it hasn't happened yet.
wonder what MK is doing though?

It's someone you've heard of, not a celebrity. Also, someone brand new to the show who is making their Broadway debut.
Yay!!!! I believe I know who it is. Could this news be.... frozen?

That makes me worry it is some celebrity stunt casting. I would hope Wicked is a strong enough show still not to have to resort to stunt casting the leading ladies. Unless \_(•_&bull_/ is suggesting that Chelsea jumps from tour standby to full time Elphie. That could be interesting.

It's probably not Chelsea because wicked4l said "it's someone you've heard of, not a celebrity. Also, someone brand new to the show who is making their Broadway debut."
I've been reading this over and over trying to think of who it might be all we know is
- Broadway Name but not known Nationally
- New to Wicked
- Never on Broadway
It is probably someone who has done a role on a US Tour, Off-Broadway or West End that is almost or as equally demanding as Elphaba.

Kaitlyn Davis (Current u/s Christine in the Phantom tour who's had two runs as Principal) has said several times that Elphaba is her dream role and there's audio of her singing Wizard & I on her website . She also posted in her story last year on her learning Wicked lines. She told me and it's on her website that she's back in Phantom through July though
I was about to say Ariana Grande but she's touring and was in 13...
Solea Pfeiffer ticks all those boxes and would be fantastic.

Don't know if she can sing, but what if the new Elphie is Abby DePhillips?
Can we get another hint?
A national tour person? A regional name?

Agreed I've been staring at the clue for hours and still can't think of anybody.
