DON'T GET MAD IF SOMEONE'S ALREADY POSTED THIS - but does anyone know who is playing Elphaba and Glinda in the touring production?!

I'm sure someone does.

But are they on this board?

Only time will tell...

the tour won't start until probably march of 2005. No casting has been set. I don't even remember seeing an EPA for it yet. Someone correct me if you've seen an EPA. I do know, however, that the cast has not been announced.

Wasn't Kendra Kassebaum announced as Galinda for something?

The producers are on a media tour and have been telling press in chicago and Toronto that the leads are very talented but not names. That probably means it has been cast or are close to being cast.

Actually, the above comment earlier was true. Kendra is a friend of several people I know and has said she is leaving RENT on Broadway to play Galinda/Glinda on the Wicked Tour.

I was at the Chicago breakfast with the producers and Stephen Schwartz and they said they heard auditions last week, and will hear people again on Nov. 15. They said the leads will not be big names but that Morrible and the Wizard would be.

I'm pretty sure the Kendra thing is almost definite.

She is going to make a GORGEOUS Glinda. I've seen her as Maureen in Rent, and I don't know how well she'll do with the part, but she has a nice voice and I'm sure she'll adopt the personality needed to make Glinda work so well. Also loved her in Assassins.

Rumor has it that Ivey from BARE, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch will be the understudy for the green girl.

Both leads are cast, but no contracts have been signed.

It has been said that it will hit Denver. It was reported in our papers about 5 weeks ago. Not sure exactly when. I would assume either next December or at the beginning of 2006.

A breakdown was released a few months ago. And principal casting is complete but not announced. ( Which means offers have been made but no names on dotted line yet). There will be no names. The show is the star.

I'm fairly sure that Wicked id the Texas Staete Fair show. So that puts it in Dallas for late Sept./Early Oct.

YAYAYaY!! I really hope they come to the state fair. I've heard that many Texans are really rude and will get up and leave during finale and stuff..but with WICKED that'll probably change it.. Oh! I can't wait to see it!..only one more year..
