I read Laura Linney and Marc Kudisch will be alternating the roles nightly.
Or the individuals "in the know" could just post who the replacement is, instead of going on about talking in code or through PMs.

In recent replacements, they waited until 23 days before Megan Hilty was leaving that Kate Reinders was her replacement, roughly a month and a half for Ana Gasteyer to replace Eden, and less than a month to announce Julia Murney and Kendra Kassebaum would be replacing them.
If they follow a pattern of recycling actresses for the roles, Elphaba could be either the Broadway standbys Saycon Sengbloh or Lisa Brescia; the national tour's Stephanie J. Block or Victoria Matlock; Chicago's Kristy Cates or Dee Roscioli. Following the same logic, Glinda could be Broadway standbys Laura Bell Bundy, Stacie Morgain Lewis (also Chicago), Katie Adams, Alli Mauzey; the national tour's Christine DeCicco; Chicago's Stacie Morgain Lewis (previously mentioned) or Erin Mackey.
For Elphaba, I doubt it'll be Saycon because even though I love her, her acting is subpar. Kristy Cates expressed interest in pursuing a career outside of Wicked. Isn't Stephanie getting married soon? I vote for someone new!
For Glinda, Laura won't be Glinda anytime soon and plus, arn't the producers mad at her? I for one vote for Katie Adams!
I think whoever said Erin Davie for Glinda is on to something. She'd be great.
Also-I hope Lisa Brescia gets Elphaba.
Good pair!

Does Erin Davie have the voice for Glinda?
Yes, she does. It mostly comes across during "Mother, Darling" but I'm glad she decided not to use her upper-range like Gettelfinger did off-Broadway, that way Davie's voice is closer to Ebersole's Act II vocals...
Can someone at least give us hints about the allegedly confirmed replacement?

I would love it if Erin Davie was Glinda. It'd really give her the fanbase she rightfully deserves!
I don't see how you were too "busy" to read my PM but couldn't reply to it.
Pathetic.
Apparently, The Olsen Twins have shown interest in alternating the roles of Elphaba and Galinda. I for one, am excited.
I've also heard that Nathan Lane may be the first man to play Madame Morrible in drag. Cool.
Any word about the rumor that Matthew Broderick is also up for Fiyero?

Why would they want to do that?? Then it wouldn't make them feel or look cool and superior!!
I would really love to know who is going to replace Murney. I understand if you could not tell me but I would like to know if u can. Thanks

Benjamin Lily Rosenbloom--
In basically every post of yours I can recall having read, you tend to come across as a total brat. You may want to tone it down, especially if you want something from someone. Or you may want to tone it down merely to be a nicer person. Just a thought.
Tink-- I love Ghostbusters and that line is fantastic.
Thank you, SorryGrateful. I agree.
I'm not trying to seem like a snob. I've only confirmed it with two people, just to make sure it's true. It's just that I may get in trouble if I'm the one that lets it out into the open, and I don't want the person that told me getting mad at me and not being able to trust me with information.

so, now that you have it confirmed - who is it???
Please refer: It's just that I may get in trouble if I'm the one that lets it out into the open, and I don't want the person that told me getting mad at me and not being able to trust me with information.
If someone wants to tell, they can.
LOL
Let's see if Suleen will actually reply to a PM.
Popular_elphie, knowledge is power. The fact that you try to stifle it to make yourself feel better is sad. Enjoy your movie. I hope you accidentally have to sit through the CGI Ninja Turtles remake.
popular_elphie - being able to keep information like this to yourself and not be the leak, is a very commendable thing. More people should be like that. However, people who come on these boards an advertise that they know but "won't tell" is just immature, in my opinion. Those people are just looking for attention.
B3TA07 - knowledge is power. The fact that you try to stifle it to make yourself feel better is sad. Are you serious???? That is just pathetic.
The cute part is I don't care, I was just bored on another summer weekday. But seriously who cares who the actresses are as long as the dragon breathes smoke and the cherry picker rises?
If someone wants to tell, they can.
Oh, I'm sure you WANT to tell, but it wouldn't make you as special if you did.
