I remember reading somewhere that in addition to Jackie Burns covering Elizabeth, that Jenn Colella was too. I saw the show opening night and Jenn wasn't listed as a cover and she isn't listed on the website either. I would think a role like Elizabeth would have two covers just in case...anyone know what the deal is?

Not sure if this applies here but sometimes the actor chooses not to be listed in the playbill/website. Donna Vivino was the standby Elphaba for years and her headshot was never in the playbill or on the website. When she wound perform, there would be a large slip in the playbill with her bio/headshot printed on it. Maybe it's the same for Jenn Colella.

I really didn't like the show, but I kept wondering who good Jenn would be as Liz/Beth. If she goes on, then maybe I'll return. I'd love to see her.

I'd kinda like to see Jackie Burns in this role. I think she would be amazing. I saw her in Wicked and she killed it.

Jackie Burns is great but for some reason I have a very strong love for Jenn. I fell like Jenn's Elizabeth would be completely different than Idina's, where (yes, I know I'm assumeing) Jackie's might be a lot more similar to Idina's.
