Someone posted an email Steph sent them regarding her last day. So I guess that puts the Pittsburgh/Cinncinati debate to an end.
I know a few of you were wondering...

I haven't heard anything about Kendra's replacement or end date. I've only heard the same rumors about Steph's replacement that everyone else has, but nobody is publically confirmed yet to replace either one of them as far as I know.
SimpleJoys - can't wait for that news!

Hope there's a great role awaiting Stephanie J on Broadway after she leaves the WICKED tour.
Or maybe she can work with Hugh again when TBFO reprises in Australia in July/August ? That would be cool!

Posted: 1/14/06 at 8:27amJo - I think I read the Australian arena tour was going to be an all-Australian cast.

Posted: 1/14/06 at 10:56amAwwww.. She will be sorely missed.. Steph for me might not be the strongest Elphaba vocally but she is THE BEST acting wise.
#13re: Stephanie confirms last day is March 5th in Pittsburgh
Posted: 1/14/06 at 11:18amI'm sooooo looking forward to seeing her do Elphie for the last time in Pittsburg. BUT! can't wait for news of what is coming next - I just have a feeling it's gonna be GREAT!

Posted: 1/14/06 at 3:39pmJust bought tix for the Cincy stop and was hoping Steph would still be with the show. Not to threadjack, but I'd love to see Jenna get the role.

Posted: 1/14/06 at 3:46pmsidneybruhl, how did you get tickets to the Cincy stop already??? I know they don't go on sell to the general public until Thursday, so what magic did you work?

Posted: 1/14/06 at 4:00pmSteph has so much power and puts it in what ever she concentrates on.

I know it's horribly un-patriotic of me, but I would give my soul up to make Steph an honourary Aussie and have her in TBFO. I would DEFINITELY see it in that case. It's going to be my life's goal to see this woman perform...of all the cities the Wicked tour has been to, I HAD to pick San Francisco
(although that all worked out fine, seeing as there is *one* person I worship more than Steph on this earth)

Posted: 1/14/06 at 6:50pmDarn. Just before the Philly stop.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Aw, well--I'm glad I was fortunate enough to see her in Dallas.
She was amazing. She will definitely be on to something soon. The dedication of this woman--it's amazing. Broadway will be lucky to have her back if she decides to go back.

Posted: 1/14/06 at 10:05pmIs she leaving because her contrat is up, she has something else coming soon, health, or something else?

Posted: 1/15/06 at 1:24amShe's leaving because her contract is up.

I hope they give Steph's spot to Saycon Sengbloh, cuz she kicks MAJOR ass, and got a little screwed over with the Sho-Eden switcheroo.
Jenna and Maria hold their own nicely, but I dont feel that either has the "wow" factor that's needed to follow up an impossible act like Stephanie.
However, I had some of my "die-hard" wicked friends (who know the show thru their OBC recordings, and think Idina is the best things since cable) listen to Say, and I heard "wow"s.
