Does anyone have any idea when Mandy or Katie's Contract end?

While I'm at it, who would we like to see as Elphaba or Glinda next? and Fiyero?

They're on a life term "contract"

Wicked is really Broadway prison.

Rumor has it it's going to be Meredith Patterson and Jen Cody.

"Rumor has it it's going to be Meredith Patterson and Jen Cody."

She asked who was going to play Glinda and Elphaba. Not Glinda and Chistery.

The way i've noticed Wicked on Broadway works is this. Every Glinda and Elphaba has a 6-9 month contract with an option to renue (sp?) for either 6 or 3 more. Unless your Kendra Kassebaum then you take two weeks off and go to another production.

Diana DeGarmo for Elphaba - just saying...

I think Donna Vivino has picked the new Broadway cast. Just saying...

Also, Who is taking over for Donna on July 6th?
Celine Dion as Elphaba.

Even though these two two have performed in ""Wicked" for a long time they still ahven't done it together and it has always been a dream of their's:

I was recently told that Mandy Gonzalez has a particularly long contract. Something to the effect of a year and a half, so perhaps no new Elphaba for a good while.

That would be Jackie Burns, of Hair. Is she good? I hope so cuz the tour is coming near me soon!

I highly doubt that. A year maybe, if that.

I don't really have any specific names in mind but I think it would be great to see a younger pair for Elphaba/Glinda, actresses that are closer to the ages of the characters than these 30+ women who have played the roles recently.

Chistery! Hahaha! Jordan, I lost it over that comment!

Wait... Is Jackie Burns the girl who sings Black Boys? Because, if so, she's incredible.

The bigger question is WHO STILL CARES ABOUT WICKED, AND WHO CARES WHO THE 32nd REPLACEMENTS WILL BE?

3 Elle Woods (Becky G., Kate R., Bailey H.) said that they've wanted to be in Wicked. Each said that: Kate - either role, Bailey-Glinda, Becky-not sure

It won't happen BUT I would LOVE to see Carrie Manolakos (or even Vicki Noon) be lead on Broadway :)

And I would also love to see Helene Yorke, again, probably never happening.

I'd love to see Leigh Ann Larkin in Wicked. Just saying...Also, while we are at it, Bring Saycon Sengbloh back.

Just about every actress that dreams of a steady paycheck wants to be in Wicked.

I wish I could go back in time and see Aaron Tveit as Fiyero. I would love Leigh Ann Larkin in it!! Or Kerry Butler, although I do agree that they should start casting younger, so those two wishes contradict each other.

In my perfect world, after she closes out San Francisco, Alli Mauzey would return to the Broadway production and appear opposite Mandy.

[shrekster224]

Posted: 6/22/10 at 10:16am

Alli Mauzey was an amazing Glinda! I know this is not trust worthy at all, but at one time on Bailey Hank's wikipedia page, it said that she would be replacing KRC on a specific date. Probably just some person wishing that she was.

[rmusic11322]

I'd rather see Bailey do a slower role. Glinda takes so much energy. Didn't people say that she was a winded when she performed "So Much Better" in Legally Blonde?

[StephanieJBlockFan]

I'm just gonna throw this out there....I can see Bernadette Peters in Morrible's make-up. I haven't heard Mandy yet, Katie was my first Glinda and I always thought she was really beautiful as Glinda. We need someone as Elphaba who doesn't riff the **** out of Defying Gravity, but someone who can sing it with power. I think for most actresses who riff the song ruin it.

It really be really sweet to see Megan and Stephanie on stage in Wicked. :)
