Wicked Casting for 2018-2019 — Page 4

Brittney Johnson is the second cover. LKN is the first, so unless the standby, and LKN, and the current glinda are all out on the same day, she probally wont ever go on

Throw me in the camp that is not impressed by AJC- I thought she sang the part the worst I’ve ever heard it and I saw her with Jackie who admittedly is a powerhouse, but she seemed to be trying to do her best Cheno impression, but without the notes. I don’t understand the call out Katie comments about Clark- everytime I’ve seen the show with her as Glinda she was there at that was 3 times during three different stints- she was pregnant in Saigon not Wicked just to clarify. I’m sad we never got to see Tess Soltau full time as Glinda she was fab when I saw her on for Kara Lindsay- who actually it took me three tries to finally see- Tiffany Haas was the other standby and she was also not my favorite. Isabel Keating truly has it all for me- usually the Morribles have the acting but lose the singing, she was the first I saw other then Sheryl Lee who was altogether different in the best way possible, who had it all! I plan to see Vosk and company soon, but I would wait to see Katie Rose if that turns out to be the truth. How has no one commented on if Ali Ewoldt can see the humor? I’m skeptical.

So KRC comes in January? I'll miss her by one month!

 

I hope WIcked takes the upcoming tour cast-change (after the SLC stop) as an opportunity to really freshen up with a new Fiyero, Glinda, Nessa, Elphaba and maybe Boq.

Mary Kate has stated on instagram that she is retiring from the role. So mabye Ginna clarie after KRC.

In case anyone was wondering, Ryan McCartan’s last show is May 14. But he’s currently injured and being covered for by Travis Taber.

I wouldn't be surprised if she was "retired Elphaba". she was out a lot over the last few tour stops, or only doing the night verses matinees.

I’m pretty sure MK was only out on Sunday matinees, and she was sick a week or two before her last show.

I would love it if she was Elphie on Broadway eventually, maybe as a standby. I know she said she’s a “retired Elphaba,” but people can come out of retirement. 

Kyle dean massey is back as Fieyro, he had his first performance back tonight

Filling in. I guess that's the same as subbing.

SchuylWERKsister said: "Is Katie Rose Clark confirmed or just speculation?"

 

I think just speculation, unless anyone has heard anything new. I've also heard (outside of this thread) Ali Ewoldt could be a possibility? Cooper is leaving in December, I'm pretty sure.
