Mantello has wanted Gasteyer to do the show on Broadway since her very first audition. She's apparently his favorite.

She was my fav too MB! She was beyond amazing. So nice to see the role acted and sung not walked through and screamed!

Kate and Ana got along VERY, VERY well. And they had a deal, nobody goes to broadway without the other one which has been pritty public.

I'm not 100% sure but,I think Ana had gotten offers but, didn't choose to do it. I think Kate has Ana's blessing about doing it on Broadway.

I thought they were bringing in Julia Murney...?

Julia has been reported as saying that she has no intention of going to Broadway with the role. And as for Ana, from what I saw and heard of her I was underwhelmed, but I'll reserve final judgment for when I see her live, if this rumor is true that is.

Well I personally would not be happy with Ana replacing Eden, I think that would be a step back for what they want on Broadway. And that's somebody that is going to sing the role, and saying that I don't think she is replacing her. I have heard who it is but I would be dropping the big ball if I said. I can say that Saycon is suppose to be leaving and that Brandi will not become the stand-by. She may be leaving the show as well for another one, a new one that I can't confirm. Saycon is suppose to be going back to Atlanta to work on her album. But you know how this business is, but guessing is always fun. Especially when everything really happens.

Ok, now I saw Diana DeGarmo mentioned in this thread as a possible Elphaba (a wish, not anything rumored). My question is if that was under consideration, would Hairspray allow her out of her contract to play Penny in order to do Wicked? It seems unlikely given that Hairspray benefited so much from her presence last spring. So in general, do shows allow performers out of their contract if they get a better offer?

Ok I don't know where the thing about Kate and Ana came from. But iw as simply saying Kate is horrible in the show. It is like watching Dainty June play Glinda like Dainty June. Her Glinda is trite and horrid. Also she can barely sing No one Mourns The Wicked.

Ana has been the only person to excite me as an Elphaba. She makes Elphie new fresh and a pleasure. We can only hope that Ms. Gasteyer will grace us with her presence.

How do you know that Ana is Joe Mantello's favorite?
