I believe he’s filling in for Jake Boyd while Jake is doing Becoming Nancy in Atlanta. Becoming Nancy closes in October so I’d guess you’d more than likely be seeing Kyle Dean Massey.

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 situation where nothing was said said for weeks and then she was fired.
I certainly hope she returns, and my greater hope is that she is well and that this isn’t a more serious issue ala Benanti in Into the Woods."

We just saw WICKED Saturday evening 8/17. KDM was in for Jake Boyd (much to our delight).
Got to see Jennifer/Jake while Hannah was out in July 3rd. Nancy was also out as Morrible July 3rd
Hannah was FANTASTIC. Reminded me a lot of Jackie Burns but with LOTS of her own choices. As she grows with this company, I think she'll find herself more and more comfortable with the role (as I assume ANY Elphie would)
I have a feeling Ginna Claire will stay longer than most actresses stay inthe role of Glinda. She toured as Glinda and her dream had always been to play Glinda on Broadway. I believe she will be like Amanda Jane Cooper and extend her contract more than once . .

Hannah left a comment on Alexandra Billing’s IG saying how excited she was for her to be joining the cast. I know that’s pretty general, but I read it as she was excited to be working with her when Nancy Opel departs.
Ginna Claire is almost like fixture with Wicked at this point. She’s been with the show for like 5 years already. Would not be surprised if she extends again. I believe her 1 year date is in April, so maybe she’ll stay through June/July.

I do hope GC extends awhile. In my dream scenario, Mary Kate finishes her run in Mean Girls then replaces Hannah on Broadway. MK KILLED IT as Elphie on tour with GC and I would love for them to do Broadway together. Their chemistry is insane.
I think it's pretty safe to assume that none of the Glinda or Elphaba or their covers will be leaving anytime soon.
As for Nessarose, I wouldn't be surprised if Jenny Florkowski took over until the January cast change. She's the typical temporary cover for Nessarose in recent years, but I hope Mili Diaz from tour joins at some point this year!
