Stephanie J. Block to join Bway Wicked cast?

Posted: 6/20/07 at 12:07am

So, at the stagedoor of Bway By The Year last night, I was talking to a Blockhead, who said that she'd heard that Stephanie might be joining the Wicked cast as Elphaba this July. She said that Stephanie wants to do it, but only if she can do it with Sebastian, and since they're getting married in October, it would have to be before that.

This sounds implausible to me, since it's almost July and I thought Julia Murney was contracted for another 6 months, but I was wondering if anyone had heard anything or if this is total BS.

Why must you discourage the hugely unlikely rumor? Let a Blockhead have her day!

I'm terribly sorry you disapprove. Idle curiousity, I guess.

Oh em GEE. I read your post wrong the first time and thought you were calling Stephanie a Blockead..like..making fun of her. How rude. But then I realized.
I just thought you should know.

I don't know anything - but I'd be willing to bet it's just wishful thinking on the part of the Blockhead.

Sorry, AnnaK, for the confusion! I would never call Stephanie a blockhead. That's mean, and just... a very very bad pun.

Well, she was a *bit* of a blockhead, I guess, for spreading rumors and such.

Playing opposite each other is the quickest way to spoil a relationship.
Ask J Lo and what's his name.
That said, I would love to see Stephanie in that role she actually created.

Any chance of Stephanie joining Wicked AFTER her wedding?

Idina and Taye performed together in Wicked for awhile and nothing bad happened between them.

It was probably a rumor - someone who thought she know what she was talking about.

Julia is contracted through October and I don't see why she would suddenly leave unless something important came up.

There was an "Ask a Star" feature on Broadway.com where Stephanie said she wouldn't mind playing opposite Sebastian, but who knows?

She's marrying Sebastian? He wasn't very good..
I thought he was gay.
I thought wrong.

For some reason I thought Shoshana's Bean was a lesbian until the story about her boyfriend was published...


ETA: I just realized I put that "apostrophe-s." But it's kind of cute...

It's in October. She talks a lot about her wedding and Sebastian on her interview with Jim Caruso for Here! On Broadway.

It is rather cute, I'll admit that.
