I haven't tried the Wicked lottery in over 3 yreas. I've gotten used to hearing KDM sing at least once a month, so looks like I'll be trying my luck again soon in the Gershwin's breezeway.

Richard Blake is definitely the next Fiyero. I believe he is starting in about a month, in mid-March.
He is only in his mid-30s and is younger than Kevin Kern and around the same age as both Norbert and Andy when they played the part. I never saw him on tour, but the reviews were pretty favorable and he did not look old in the promo pictures. However, I think KDM is an exciting Fiyero as well. I look forward to catching both of them.
