When Caroline Bowman missed for an extended amount oftime, it was known that it was due to some sort of injury and Christine came in as a temporary replacement. Alison was outfor a bit on tour I believe and Dee temporarily replaced. All this to say thatHannah certainly isn’t the first Elphaba to miss a substantialchunk of performances, but something about this just seems off. This reads more like the Caissie Levy Wicked LA situa

Ginna Claire and Mary Kate are a perfect pair of witches, double name witches :) If only they’d known Hannah would be out this would have been great for the show and fans who want to see they on Broadway. As mentioned MK is getting ready to leave for Mean Girls tour. &n

Of course she's not back.In fact, I think we've now reached the point where she's been out for more of her run than she's actually been in. Sorry you were misled (by very poor management of this disaster) when buying your tickets that you'd actually have a shot at seeing her."

It’s been reported that Hannah will return at the end of the month after taking time off to recover from laryngitis. So I assume either the 23 or 30 she’ll be back in Green.
beatofthedrum27 said: "Anyone have any clues or ideas of who else might be cast?”
Pure ideas: Allison Bailey as Gretchen Weiners. Beka Burnham as Cady Herron. Olivia Valli as Regina George. Yes, I know all these actors are from the Wicked North America Tour :)
Jenny DiNoia is acting lead. Emily Rogers is acting standby and Carla Stickler is filling in as the understudy. "
Thanks for your reply. I hope Hannah makes a full recovery and is back in Green soon! What a shame to take ill while in a dream lead role at least the talent always runs deep in Wicked <3
hamiltonstradition said: "Hannah is still out. Jennifer DiNoia has performed most shows this week."
Does anyone have an update on Hannah Corneau’s status with Wicked? Seems her absence is now going into week 3? I suppose she’s been ill? Rather worrisome given she’s just been in this role for a little over a month . . .

Or she could be replacing Lindsay K Northern.
Is there word that Lisa Livesay is leaving?"
Lisa Livesay is confirmed to be leaving Wicked today.&
magictodo123 said: "Unless one of you works in casting...how do you know this?"
Pure speculation but, the pieces do add up. Especially if you look at Ms. Corneau’s Instagram post. Very subtle nod, but it was not lost on Wicked fans :)
Knemickas said: "similarly, Olivia Valli (understudy from 2NT) has been hanging out with GC and MK today, so could it possibly be her? She’s not new to the role per se, but I don’t think she’s been on broadway before either"
I just saw that on their Insta stories!! We are on the same trail, trying to figure this out . . . lol
broadwayboy222 said: "Chelsea Emma Franko posted a throwback to her time on tour as standby Elphie three days ago, and I know she’s been a rumored replacement. However, I’m a little confused if it is her because I thought I had read where the next Elphie is completely new to the role and is more of a broadway “name.” And as thrilled as I’d be to see Chelsea replace, she fits neither of those criteria listed above”
How do we know about May 12th being her last performance? Wait...I just had a thought....isn't Shoshana Bean leaving Waitress in May?? What if....?"
That would be sweet! Shoshana is a legendary Elphie. Though further up in this thread, I read someone say the new Elphie would be making her Broadway debut in this role but had toured with Wicked in the past, so???
broadwayboy222 said: "Maybe a bit early, but perhaps Mary Kate has booked Janis on the Mean Girls tour, as people were previously discussing her joining the Broadway cast, but it appears Barrett will be staying for the time being, and also seeing as how Mary Kate has not been on Broadway before, but has done Wicked on tour, they may be wanting a more established Broadway "semi-name" performer to eventually replace Barrett. This would keep her busy for at least a year, after
