Is there any reason why she wouldn't? (Yes, she does.)

As fo now, every cast member is scheduled to do all performance. "Wicked" does not have alternating casts.

Wow, such a discriptive thread title.

are there any days that the actors more frequently don't perform?

Not really...the only days I would say would be Tuesdays or Sundays because Monday is their day off, so if they are going away they would most likely have Monday as one of the days they are away, so they don't have to take a vacation day.

But vacations don't happen that often. Unless an actor is sick they usually are there. So just buy your tickets, and check the board at the theater maybe an hour to an hour and a half before the show, and if the performer you want to see is out, you can always sell your tickets, especially in a show like Wicked where both Eden and Megan are billed above the title. The box office is required to buy back your tickets if a performer who is billed above the title is out.

If you are planning on lottoing or doing cancellation line, try going to the stage door a week or so beforehand if you can and ask the performer you want to see if they have any planned vacations. That way, they will definitely be there, unless they get sick or have some kind of emergency. Hope this helps.

I thought since on the billboards and everything, it doesn't say "Eden Espinosa and Megan Hilty: WICKED" that only with the original cast and when the billboards had performers names on it (Kristin & Idina) and they were out, you could get your money back but with the current cast you can't. I may be wrong but that's what I've read on here several times...

You canget your money back, even now, but only if the performers name is above the title of the show.

Not anymore. There are no names above the title for Wicked, not since Idina left, I think.

I thought Eden and Megan were both billed above the title...

Eden and Megan are both above the title. However Wicked does not do exchanges, for the simple reason that almost all of their shows are sold out, and there isn’t much to exchange for. Especially if Eden and Megan are both out everyone would want to exchange, and lets face it, the box office doesn’t have that many available shows to exchange for. I believe this policy took effect shortly after Kristin and Norbert left, before the end of Idina's run.

sort of on a side note but i saw the wicked tour tree times and there was not one show where the whole cast was in. Derrick Williams and the man who played the wizard were always in but Kendra and Steph were only in once. Carol Kane was in twice.

When will Wicked cease to be a "New Musical?"

It happened after Idina left. I got my money back in December 2004, when and Idina and JLT were out. The new policy went into effect in Jan. 2006.

Wicked does not change the marquee and billboards. All that changes are the ads in front of the theatre, the cast board, and the playbill.

Above the title refers to the playbill. It says Megan Hilty Eden Espinosa, and then under it, Wicked.
