Maddison Firth is on as Elphaba for the evening show (9th March, 2024).
Casey is recovering from being sick, so only performed the matinee. Laura Pick is also off sick at the moment.
Russel Dickson is on as Fiyero for both shows today also.

Sounds like there is no violin/cello in the tour band, unlike the west end show.

Shall we just rename this the 'Who's on tonight in Wicked on tour' thread?

Sounds like they're running a tombola pre show of who goes on...

I would seriously prefer a separate thread for these incessant posts about who is and who isn’t performing each day so I can just skip the thread and only check when something interesting is posted on this one. BurlyBeaR ? |

Oh it's been a thing on the Wicked London thread for years - deej4life's knowledge is wild, and I say let it stay where it is!

You can always mute a user if you are finding their posts "incessant" then although you can see they've posted you can choose whether to click on it or not ....

BurlyBeaR ? I didn’t know this. Thank you. I am sure the info is very interesting/helpful to the hardcore fans but not really on a daily basis. |

Thing is, nobody is posting anything else about the show. Who is on /not on currently seems to be the only interesting thing going on. Same applies to the London thread. Simple fact is that if you want the discussion to go in a different direction then go ahead and make it happen!

Sounds like there is no violin/cello in the tour band, unlike the west end show. Sadly not, though it's still a good sized band for a tour and they sound fantastic (even if the amplification of the drums was a little too 'Blood Brothers' in parts). At the show I saw in Bristol they were: Musical Director / Conductor MATTHEW J. LOUGHRAN Assistant Musical Director HARRY HADEN-BROWN Piccolo / Flute / Alto Flute / Soprano Recorder in C JENNAH SMART Oboe / English Horn / Penny Whistle ELEANOR TINLIN Soprano Sax / Eb Clarinet / Bb Clarinet / Bass Clarinet STUART EMINSON Trumpet / Flugel Horn JACOB ROSENBERG Tenor Trombone / Bass Trombone ADRIAN HALLOWELL French Horn HAYLEY TONNER Electric Guitar / Nylon Acoustic / Banjo / 12 string STEVE BRAMWELL Double Bass / 5 String Electric / Fretless Electric AIDAN PLATTS Drums CRAIG HANSON Percussion MURDOCH MACDONALD Keyboard 1 PHIL WADDINGTON Keyboard 2 / Cover Conductor JOHN REDDEL Keyboard 3 HARRY HADEN-BROWN Keyboard 4 / Cover Conductor MILLIE DAVIES |

No Trumpet 2 either, so it´s the same reduced orchestration as the US Tour. Glad to see there´s a female (cover) conductor though.

Incessantly informing you all that Casey Al-Shaqsy is on as Elphaba tonight (12th March, 2024). In the interval I have seen the show a lot and the majority of times in London however the first 4 times I watched it was on tour back in 2014/15. There’s little changes that’s got me double taking at points. Casey is phenomenal. Her acting is one of the best I have seen. |

Laura Pick was back as Elphaba on Sunday 17th March. Phenomenal performances throughout, no glitches.

Is there a planned cast change within the duration of the tour? All great news that it’s going well so far but I’m slightly worried that it will be on its arse by the time it reaches Manchester because I’ve persuaded uninitiated friends to see it at about £70 a pop 😮.
I remember seeing Priscilla when it was in the last weeks of a very long tour and it was very much apparent that we were in the death throes. Should I be worried?

They appear to be keeping things quite fresh by rotating their Elphabi to avoid burnout. Its still just a witch on a cherrypicker, an overused rainstick and some spinny lights. (Although it does appear to be a lot better on tour).

Most of the Birmingham run has been limited availability on the majority of nights and the show has been to B'ham several times so is still selling very well in one of the biggest regional theatres.
