I just read that Soshana Bean(elphaba) is leaving soon?? Can anyone tell me why is she going and who is going to replace her? SHe was so good when i saw her. I doubt they will find someone as good to replace her.

Bean leaves in January when her contract is up. She has confirmed this in several places. She has said that she wants an R&B career. She has no interest in doing Broadway ever again (her words, not mine). NO replacement is announced, but Ana Gasteyer is the big rumor.

Bobby, I'm not taking the job unless I get to drive someone better than EDEN.

Em...I heard that if you take over for 6 months, with Eden as Chitty, Raul will come back and take over for eden!

I'm just amazed how much she's shot her mouth off regarding this. I thought she blew in the role, personally. Harsh voice. Too many "tricks". Horrible actress.
She has said she'd only do Broadway if it was Funny Girl, which she is all wrong for.
To quote Molly Shannon: "Don't get me started! Don't EVEN get me started!"

Sorry Em, Eden is the only one we could find who could duplicate CHitty's noises so authentically.

She has HORRIBLE stage presence.

Chitty is deeply offended. She's a diva and thinks she deserves far better.

Ana has gotten raves for her Elphaba, while praise for Bean has been very mixed. I imagine that the Wicked team has realized that just letting any old standby play the role doesn't cut it.

/yeah, I agree with Em, Bobby.
Chitty never gave me a headache.
But once Em is riding Raul, he will create the proper sounds.
I'm sure of it.

If they make a movie maybe soshana will do it. They will probably cast someone from hollywood though.

It was just confirmed, Angelina Jolie will play Elphaba in the movie version. Ellen is playing Glinda.

I agree.
I'm just trying to give Eden a non-singing role where she can show her real talents (ie. standing there as a prop).

But Chitty is all spectacle.
Eden is not.
Maybe she could be the staircase.

I'm sorry... but I must be crabby today because I feel like you know nothing about Wicked.
You didn't know who Ana was... I'm not a humongous Wicked fan, and I knew who she was...

I don't mean to be rude elphaba610 but...
Do you live on this planet?
Bean was a horrible Elphaba. If they ever did a movie (and that'll be the day, in my opinion), they won't do so without big names attached. Bean isn't known to anyone except the Broadway community.

Good idea. Or maybe she can join the stagehand's union.
