Ethan - That definitely did cross my mind when she said that, but I guess we will have to wait and see. I've never seen Stephanie in a leading role [in Wicked or Waitress] but she really killed it on Monday and I'd love to see her play Jenna on tour.

As reported, Stephanie said doing the press event did not mean she was doing the tour. This is completely true. Doing the press events has NOTHING to do with the tour. Stephanie has been doing almost all the press event both in and out of NYC since the beginning when Jessie was still there. Besides seeing her as Jenna (and Dawn) on Broadway, I've also seen her perform at Grand Central station, Bryant Park and various other city venues as early as spring 2016. She has been out of own at various other press events as well.

I'm still hoping she gets to take over Jenna on Broadway for a while when Betsy leaves. But in terms of the tour, her answer was really a non answer.

I didn't know how much I needed Lindsay Mendez to play Jenna until this thread

Jenna is being played by someone new to the production, and not previously named in this thread.

It was discussed on here a while back that Meghan Linsey from The Voice was originally supposed to replace Jessie but dropped out at last minute(Probably due to her spider bite that made national news) .Wonder if she's doing the tour.She'd be a perfect Jenna, Chris Mann(Who was also on The Voice) brought in a crowd when he was in the Phantom tour with no musical theater experience(Besides college and some regional shows at the Music Theater of Wichita in high school...)

I'm sure they're great, but this is a little disappointing. I only recognize like three of those names. But open to new talent! Or at least, new to me.

More new talent is ALWAYS fine with me as long as they can deliver :)

YES DESI. She's pretty great, and considering the rumor that the same small group of ladies were considered for both Jenna and Elsa, Desi doesn't wholly shock me, she's got CHOPS yo...she's another possibly future Elsa as far as I'm concerned.

Desi will be phenomenal. She also has that singer/songwriter/pianist thing going for her, like Sara.

I'm so happy for Bryan! I wish this tour was coming closer to me.

Super happy for Desi! She looks wonderful and she'll fit Jenna like a glove. More new talent is always welcome, I love how they're taking chances in casting lately.

Love Desi Oakley, but I find it interesting Emily Koch will be in the ensemble after being the lead Elphaba on tour.

Having a lead credit or two does not guarantee a career as a lead, and a job is better than no job.

Charity is great!! But can someone explain to me - I don't know how the machine of Broadway works at all - why would Charity leave the Broadway role to go on tour? Touring seems grueling.

Im not at all familiar with Desi but was hoping it was Jessica Vosk to play Jenna.

Touring is the same salary on Broadway plus the added benefit of a per diem. Plus, most people sublet/rent out their apartments, so months and months of not paying rent plus per diem. They're able to save a lot of money. Plus, at least for me, I like touring and seeing different theaters/cities.

Same salary *if* it's a Full Production contract, which most are not.
