Nicole Parker to return to the role of Elphaba in 1st National Tour.

I guess since no one has created this topic yet I will do it. In case, no one already knew, it was announced today that Nicole Parker, who played the role of Elphaba in 'Wicked' on Broadway from January to July 2009 will return to role in the 1st National tour this May. She will star alongside former Broadway co-star Alli Mauzey as Glinda, and they will be joined by P.J. Benjamin, who also played the Wizard alongside both of them.

I really enjoyed her on Mad TV. I was hoping that she would find another project after 'People in the Picture', but I am glad she is returning to the role. Plus, she and Mauzey have great chemistry. They were hilarious on their broadway.com 2009 Tony video.

I've wanted to see her too so I hope she'll still be in it when it gets to Philly next year.

Yes. I wonder if she's going into the Broadway production. She's very good in the role.

I thought Mamie Parris was phenomenal. I hope she replaces Jackie Burns on Broadway. Those seeing Nicole Parker will also be very fortunate, as I hear she has a pretty great voice.
