I am curious as to who will play Nessa during JLG's vacation.
The tour (I think) could run into problems with its current situation. They have two understudies for Elphaba: JLG and Maria Eberline. Their are also two understudies for Nessa: Maria and Lori Holmes (whose also Witch's Mother, like Cristy Candler on Broadway.)
Since Jenna is the only other person that covers Elphaba, if she is out and Maria is in as Nessa and (God willing) something happens, there is no one else who can go on as Elphie. I think they should have at least two understudies for every role (not counting someone in the principle cast who also covers another part ala JLG.) They have two normal Glinda understudies (Emily Rozek and Katie Adams.) It is just a much safer way to do it.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
