chinkie - yes, Annaleigh is still doing Wicked in Chicago 'til it closes (Jan. 25th, I believe). I think she is not only doing this workshop but is actually going to pursue auditioning for the role too once that whole process starts, but I don't really know.
ljay - And isn't Bebe already signed on to do the show when it opens? So she should definitely be doing it.
She'll probably do great, but her casting is still interesting for me due to age. I'm glad she's doing this but I really really hope she sticks with Catch Me If You Can.
