I wish that we didn't have a clue who it was. It makes announcement very boring if it turns out to be Amy and Helen. Same with Sophie and Alice in London, its like one cheer, one party popper then everyone goes back to speculating who will join at the next cast change and who riffed the night before or caused a scene at stage door.

Unless they have a "name" they've managed to keep from us this announcement is going to cause a very small ripple of excitement and will be hidden in those theatre circular emails we all receive and cannot always be bothered to read.

Maybe Carrie Hope Fletcher will get her chance to do Elphaba, considering Addams Family ends in November. Just a thought.  |

I think her joining Wicked at some point is inevitable.

As has already been said, I also don't think it'll be a big exciting announcement . It's been dragged out for too long, they should have made full casting news when Fiyero was announced.
Plus it seems as though people already know Elphaba and Glinda, Glinda not exactly an inspired choice. But then it's Wicked so what do people expect

As it's the eleventh anniversary on Wednesday I can see the announcement coming out then.

With the whole Fiyero announcement, I think they panicked when it got leaked and weren't prepared enough, but I'm not sure what they're like with casting announcements so who knows

Plus she's really done her voice in as Wednesday, breaks on the high notes sometimes don't know anything about singing technique and notes and stuff, but the last year of her Les Mis run her "On my own" was more screaming then singing |

Aaron Sidwell tweeted that he was at Wicked this week and Jessamy was there last night. Again nothing concrete but looks like another thing pointing to her joining the tour cast!

I think we've been lucky in the past that Wicked cast announcements tend to be relatively early.
Billy Elliot used to announce their new casts on the day that they started, and the recent Book of Mormon cast wasn't announced until after they started!

Elizabeth Futter from the international tour (1st cover Glinda) will not be joining the tour as far as I know (unless the chosen actress has pulled out) I rented off her whilst she was doing the tour and she was in the finals for lead Glinda but she didn't get it...

I have no idea what is happening but it sounds intriguing! Someone else asked what it meant and they replied that she’s defying gravity tomorrow! I wonder if that’s how they’re announcing the cast?!
