I think Cecilia just took some days off, cause she went with her boyfriend .... and for Danna/Ana replacement I don´t know ... rumor has it Danna will leave the production in May/june to go to Hollywood to film a movie called "Saving Sara Cruz" a remake of The Bodyguard, but I don't know If she will leave the production permanently pr just while she is filmimg. I hope to see Eden Pintos (the understudy) as Elphaba soon, I will happily have her as lead, and maybe Yuridia, a singer who was told to be as Elphaba like 4 years ago, when the first rumors of having Wicked in Mexico began.

I found a video of Majo Perez singing Popular, and I loooooooove her ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g06y7U7avr8

When is the Glinda understudy going on?

I have no idea when Liesl will be going on. I have to find her on Twitter.

I'm not getting this clear... when you say that it wil coincide with her debut as Elphaba, do you mean that it's gonna be a show with audience? Cause as far as I know, the put-ins are only for cast and crew members ....
(again sorry for my english, I hope I am being clear with what I mean)

Usually, a put-in rehearsal is in the afternoon before the performance. So, Eden will have a rehearsal in the afternoon and the performance in the evening. Also, your English is fine.

I's SOOO excited for her She is a talented girl who has work her ass off to get where she is now, I just hope I can catch a peroformance with her before she leaves , and also this maybe means someone else will take over the role, because if Danna leaves to filme her movie, only the 2 understudies are left ... OMG so excited!!

blaxx, Ana has hugely improved since that first video and from the preview performances.

Posted: 3/6/14 at 7:20pm

Still, they should have taken the Glinda.

[gabiiferact]

Posted: 3/6/14 at 7:32pm

Which Glinda? Ceci or Majo? Now that I have heard both of them, I can say that I prefer Majo over Ceci, her voice control is perfect, and she is the sweetest girl in the world :)

[gabiiferact]

Posted: 3/6/14 at 7:34pm

In an interview today in the morning she said she doesn't know why did the rumor begin

That's too bad. Hopefully, that means the door is still open for Danna to come to Broadway.

Does anyone know the dates when Danna, Ana, or Cecilia are leaving the production?

Hello there, sorry for joining the conversation realy late. Unfortunately I just decided to join Broadway.com... Let me tell you that I have seen Wicked 3 times and tomorrow it will be my fourth!!! I absolutely LOVE it!!!! The company is great and I agree with some of the comments here. Ana´s NGD is better but overall Danna is the best Elphaba. Unfortunately I have yet to see Majo but Cecilia is stunning!!! She is the show´s heart!

Now let me clarify a few thigs,

I actually do know why the original wizard left. SCANDAL!!! HAHA, During previews I actually met Paco Morales (The actual wizard) because he worked previously on the Mexican Production of Peter Pan with a friend of mine and while they where talking Paco said that Montesoro "left" the company because he couldn´t go with the pace. Apparently he kept on screwing up his lines and the producers didn´t like it, so they decided to call Paco Morales instead whith whom they had already worked with.

About the rotating roles all I know none of them are leaving any time soon. Israel (a company´s member) left about a month ago due to injury. He recently was opperated. Julios (another company´s member) has been absent but it is because he is gonne touring as a dancer with the Mexican singer Yuri, however he will be going back to his role on Wicked really soon. As far as I know only Boq´s and Nessa´s understudies (Sebastian Treviño and Estebaliz Ruiz) have already had their debut. Fiyero´s, Elphaba´s, Glinda´s, Morrible´s and the Wizard´s have yet to go up however they all had had their put-in already.

Third and LAST one, about the CD. The recordings you mention where not for the CD. It was actually for the Live streaming TV Special on "Primero Noticias" where they announced that Wicked would now play on wednesdays as well. As it was a live stream they could only have Glinda and Elphaba singing live due to technical dificulties. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO8Jgm4Tfyo

Ohhh and BTW, I think Nessa, Boq and Morrible deserve much more attention that the one they are getting... The 3 of them are FANTASTIC actors and singers!!! Love the spanish version of TWWOTW, one of my fave of this cast.
