It didn't say in the program (or I just couldn't find it) what performances Stephen Christopher Anthony will be on for, but I would assume the weekend matinees. He was on for the matinee last Saturday when a friend saw it. I would love to see him in the role, but it looks like the production is close to being sold out and those tickets that are available are a heck of a lot more expensive than my season tickets were.
Obviously from my screen name I've seen Wicked a few times and I have seen 26 pairs of Elphaba and Glinda. I have a list that I update after I've seen a new pair and of this date here are my personal favorites:
Eden Espinosa/Megan Hilty x 9
Donna Vivino/Katie Rose Clarke x 2
(Gap)
Cassie Levy/Megan Hilty x 4 with my all-time favorite Wicked show that I've seen the night that Cassie Levy departed Wicked LA on May 11, 2008.

Yours was also my first thought when I read it, She always includes "Suddenly Seymour" as a duet with her husband Brian Gallagher in concerts when I've seen her.
and 2020 is the answer to the often asked question, "When is Hamilton coming back to Los Angeles?"
For the record, the Dolby has some awful seats, but hopefully as a subscriber, I won't be totally screwed. I hope the number of "Presidents Club" seats doesn't expand in the new venue.
And yours is the right answers as it would be perfect timing when the SF sit down probably ends.
I’m surprised that the Trust brought back “The Book Of Mormon” after it was just here in Feb. 2017. And the “Cirque Eloize Hotel” is being billed as “Part of the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts”.
If you're going to do a season extra I suggest seeing Cirque Eloise and their new show Hotel.
Final clues for Segerstrom in Costa Mesa are for Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Beautiful and Hello Dolly joining the other musicals: Fiddler on the Roof, Aladdin, Waitress, Cats, Dear Evan Hansen and Come From Away. Hopefully the mentioned non-equity tour by RippedMan for Fiddler on the Roof will mean it will be in Curtain Call and not the Broadway Series.

Yes, you can buy both, but I don't want to. There's no savings if it's like when I purchased it in the past just to see the return of Wicked. I've seen them do this in the past where a big musical plays at the Ahmanson or the Pantages and then doesn't show up at Segerstrom until the end of the season and it's in

#5 is Cats with 4 more shows still to be announced. The real question is which of these will be in Curtain Call and not part of the season subscription as there will NOT be 9 new musicals in 2018-2019. I'll predict that Dear Evan Hansen will be in Curtain Call since it's going to the Ahmanson first. Hope I'm wrong but have a feeling I'm not.
I enjoyed Benny & Joon when it had its World Premiere at the Old Globe. Hopefully the three principals: Hannah Elless (Joon), Andrew Samonsky (Sam) and Bryce Pinkham (Benny) will reprise their roles.

No, the cast is identical to the one in San Diego with the addition of 3 ensemble members: Angelcia Beliard, Kaligh Cronin and Harris Turner. At the La Jolla Playhouse there were 20 in the cast; now there are 23. The androgynous casting is still in the show and it will be interesting to see how it goes over on Broadway.
