I wonder if they will try to get Kristin Chenoweth to do it, because she is already living in LA and maybe they could fit it into her schedule?? Just an idea...
Sadly, Glinda isn't a role that "fits into her schedule." It's a very demanding role that takes up a lot of time.

On the contrary, Kristin recently said that she is looking to get back into theater, so don't doubt seeing her back on Broadway in the near future.
However, all that aside, will she be reprising the role of Glinda? No.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
As much as I'd like to see Megan have sucess in this leg of the show, I wish that she's originate her Vanities role off-Broadway. I just don't want to see a great actress stuck in a role like Glinda. After all, she did play Queenie in The Wild Party.
