Posted: 4/23/06 at 11:09pmif it was julia as Elphaba and Megan as glinda and you got rid of the actor playing boq that cast would be close to perfect!

Posted: 4/23/06 at 11:16pmi wouldnt mind a new person either...but if they're gonna recycle i'd perfer kendra. I read an article once where Kate said something like they welcomed her to the WICKED fam and said she'd hope they'd be w/her for a long time...so i guess they perfer recycling.
#30re: Megan Hilty to join Wicked tour?
Posted: 4/23/06 at 11:17pmKendra's not going to Broadway. It's practically official that Kate Reinders is taking over on Broadway for Megan when she leaves. So I guess Kendra is leaving Wicked behind?

Posted: 4/23/06 at 11:28pmthat sounds about right/good to me...

I hope Kendra isn't doing London...I mean, are they planning on hiring ANY Brits to be in the show?
I'm starting to really get sick of the "recycling" too...it's like find some new talent!! If it weren't for them doing that to begin with people like Megan Hilty wouldn't be around.

Hmm...let's think for a minute.
Broadway Elphabas:
Idina Menzel - original
Shoshana Bean - brought up from stand-by
Eden Espinosa - former stand-by, did a leg of the tour
Broadway Glindas:
Kristin Chenoweth - original
Jennifer Laura Thompson - fresh talent
Megan Hilty - brought up from Stand-by
so...really, they're not so much kicking these women around.

When has the idea of Shoshana Bean doing the tour even been mentioned before today? This is the one piece of gossip I find truly hard to believe. She was itching to get out of Wicked toward the end of her run to start her recording career. Why would she be going back?

someone mentioned that Julia is going to Broadway (and I think they were being serious), but I am pretty sure she has confirmed quite a few times, that once the tour is over, she will not be going to Broadway..
It'd be HOT if she does, but quite unlikely. In that case, I hope Saycon replaces Eden.

Can't Kendra stay on tour and Megan come to London?
If we're getting a US Glinda then Megan would be lovely...alhtough a new talent would be ideal.
Julia's stated many times she wont go to broadway although I would be willing to fly there to see her that would be amazing.

Yeah I read where Julia said that too...but things change and that was at the beg. of her run so maybe she changed her mind..who knows..maybe it's not true...
Why was Sho so eager to get done with her part in WICKED? The only reason im thinking she would do the 3 days is cause Megan is and they got along so well.
#40re: Megan Hilty to join Wicked tour?
Posted: 4/24/06 at 1:26pmIt's not 3 days, it's 3 stops. The tour stays at each venue for more than a day. But yes, Megan and Shoshana did get along well, but also, as I think someone mentioned, Shoshana is from Portland, so she, like Megan, may want to perform Wicked at home. But PJ is right...the part about Shoshana doing the tour is a complete rumor, at least for now.

Posted: 4/24/06 at 2:24pmSorry, i meant 3 stops...and yes, some people seem to know who will be playing Elphie, but thus far it hasnt' been announced....my bigger question is who is gonna play the two once those three stops are over??
#42re: Megan Hilty to join Wicked tour?
Posted: 4/24/06 at 2:32pm
They may try out the person they want to play Elphaba on B/Way after Eden maybe...like they did with Eden?
Maybe a new person, though I imagen they'll give Saycon the role next. Not a bad thing, just would be nice to have a really new person.

Posted: 4/24/06 at 3:50pmDid Saycon play Elphie just as a standby on broadway? I'm not too familar with her..thanks!
#44re: Megan Hilty to join Wicked tour?
Posted: 4/24/06 at 3:52pmYeah, she's only ever been the standby on Broadway.
That was pure vodka, you poop!
#45re: Megan Hilty to join Wicked tour?
Posted: 4/24/06 at 6:52pmI very highly doubt that they will give Saycon the role. In fact, I probably would die of shock if that happened, just based on what I know and what I've seen. I think they're gonna go with a new talent, unless Julia changes her mind and comes to Broadway.

Posted: 4/24/06 at 8:07pmI know personally that Stephen Schwartz does not like Saycon, and he has a lot of say in the replacements.

What's with the Logan Lipton haters?
If this is true and Sho and Megan both do those three stops, I will buy tickets and fly to Portland. That would make me very happy.
Pillowpants. 'Nuff said.
