Does anyone have any idea of who the next Elphie and Glinda will be? Amanda Jane Cooper and Jackie Burns began their run last July and it seems like they go through a new pair every year.

Hasn't Jackie Burns been playing Elphaba on-and-off for like the last decade?

Yes! I think this is her third go as Elphaba. She was on the tour, and then twice on Broadway.

I recently saw Jackie Burns as Elphaba April 22nd. She was amazing! Have you heard good things of Jessica?

Jessica is effing amazing as Elphaba. Her voice is so powerful and she’s stunning as an actress. They are making a great decision to have her do the 15th anniversary because she is probably one of the best to ever play the role. I’m so excited to see it on broadway once she’s in it.

Gosh will I miss Amanda Jane and Jackie! They have such good chemistry and give brilliant individual performances as well.

Excited to see Jessica if the news is true!

I hope we get an entirely new Glinda, but me thinks it will be Ginna Claire since she’s supposed to leave the tour around June which would give the perfect amount of time to move back to New York and start rehearsals for broadway.
And I remember this musical I remember their brilliance And I might never sleep again...

I hope GC takes a break, she's been Glinda for 3 years now!

If Ginna Claire is indeed done in the beginning of June, does anyone know of rumours for her replacement on tour, or other tour rumbles?

TBT to those 10 minutes we believed some random tabloid reporting that Ariana Grande was the next Elphaba on Broadway.

(I'm really, really, really hoping Vosk. She was effing incredible on tour and I'd see her again at the Gershwin in a heartbeat.)

Words can't describe how much I want to see Jessica Vosk in the Gershwin.

We should know by next week who is replacing Ginna Claire. Elphie wise, Olivia Valli is reaching the 2-year mark on tour, so she might be leaving soon-ish. 

Mary Kate and Chelsea are here until at least October. they just got a new Boq, Nessa, Diamond, and Morrible, so I think we are all set for the fall/winter!
