I've seen the tour a few times while it has been in Philly and the cast is very strong. Jessica Vosk is an incredible Elphaba and I love Ginna Claire Mason's Glinda. The supporting cast will be adjusting a little bit in the next few weeks (Robin DeJesus just left, Sam Seferian returns as Boq tomorrow evening while Jeremy Woodard (Fiyero) and Fred Applegate (The Wizard) will depart 8/20 with Woodard's replacement not known and Tom McGowan joining as the Wizard). That all being said, I definitely feel like the entire company is extremely strong and I definitely feel like the ensemble is much stronger with the tour than on Broadway.

I'm actually interested in the new Elphaba standby that is starting in Mid-August after Emily leaves.  Are you planning on seeing it anymore?

The new stand-by, Chelsea Emma Franco, has a big voice. She was an Elsa at the Frozen show at Disneyland, so there's a lot of her posted online.

I saw it last night-and I was blown away by Jackie. Amanda was ok-she seemed to have trouble hitting some of the difficult notes.

I loved seeing Jackie but yes the rest of the cast was just ok. But I only paid 35 for the tickets since I won the lottery so overall I was happy seeing it.

Yep, I saw her approximately a million times at Disneyland, which is why I'm excited to hear her in this.  She is beyond amazing.  The tour isn't coming anywhere near CA right now, so I'm hoping for some people here to see her performance and report back.

ashley - I am planning on seeing the show again and am definitely interested in Chelsea. According to her Twitter, she's started rehearsals today, so we'll see if she'll go on here or not during that last week. Emily Schultheis (the current standby) leaves on 8/20, so Chelsea may or may not make her debut here or during the next tour stop.

I follow Hannah Shankman on instagram  and she's been on for Nessa consistently for at least a month. Desk Oakley has been brought back to fill in for Hannah's track.

Desi wasn't in Hannah's track.

That's the way her hat is supposed to be. It wasn't broke or anything.

Has anybody been announced as the new Elphaba for the tour? I'm pretty sure that Jessica is leaving in a few days, I could be wrong however.

I really do not know how I got here, but if you go to the end of page 3, you see people talking (negatively) about Ben Platt. Just thought it was funny. Continue with your lives.

Saw the new Broadway cast last night! Jackie is giving a phenomenal performance. Worth the ticket price alone. While I truly enjoyed the acting choices that Amanda Jane Cooper made I do not think that her vocals were up to par. She was very shaky with the soprano parts of Glinda's singing. Ashley Parker Angel was incredibly boring as Fiyero. Acting choices were stale and vocals weren't great. I was honestly questioning why he was brought in.

Did anyone see Jessica Vosk's Instagram stories last weekend? Several posts of Wicked posters or her posing with Wicked posters saying "What does it mean?"

Anyone think she may be joining the cast?

I wondered the same thing. Not sure if it was just her referring to the past year or alluding to the future... hmm!

Nope. She was commenting on how "Wicked keeps on following her everywhere she goes". Jackie has a 12 month contracts. Jess is more likely to join Waitress as the timing matches up, and we all know she wants to.

Maybe Jess could be joining as Standby? I know Hannah Shankman is back right now, not sure what happened to Mariand Torres?

Mariand is still listed as the standby, Hannah is just the understudy.
