For some reason I thought Idina left about 6 months before Kristin left Wicked; however, someone recently told me they thought Kristin left first because of her neck. So could someone please tell me the order of events? Like when it opened? and then when each woman left? Thanks

They are both still in it. They only left briefly to shoot the movie, but they are back in it now.

Actualy Clumsy, Fitzgerald left on the 2nd. Robb Sapp filled in for the next week, until Jeffery Khun could take over.

Actually, Kristin didn't leave the show...she RAN from the show. It was quite the shocker when she wasn't renewing her contract to continue. Most were horrified she left a month right after the Tony Awards and questioned if she would have stayed with the show IF she won the Tony.

Then there was that whole hoopla about who would be replacing her and if her standby Laura Bell Bundy would be taking over the role, etc.

That was one crazy time.

The memories.
