With Lindsay Pearce announced as the next Janis in the Mean Girls tour, do we know who’s next in line to be Elphaba?

I'm hoping for Hannah Corneau to return. She didn't get enough time in the role!

As disappointed as some of us may be that our next Elphaba on Broadway is not a POC, let us take solace in the fact that starting May 24, the roles of Glinda, the Wizard, Doctor Dillamond, Nessarose, and Boq will all be POC.

I wonder how long Talias contract will be. Both Hannah’s and Lindsay’s were about nine months.

Yay, I’m so happy for Talia. I saw her on the tour several times and she’s a brilliant Elphaba. One of the best I’ve ever seen.

Brittney's is also 9 months. Her website says she's playing Glinda through November 2022.
