Well we know for sure it’s not Lucie Jones now. How so?

Are we all resigned now that the casting announcement is going to be very underwhelming?
Even Wicked can't be bothered to release an annoucement. Is this the latest they have ever told us?
I hope there are a few lovely surprises but my interest levels have plummeted.

But hasn't Lucie been lined up for Waitress for several months? In which case how and why would she also be close to being Elphaba?

Lucie was in the final selection for Elphaba, literally the final three choices, and I guess because of Waitress not being too successful her team thought it would be wise for her to continue with he Wicked auditions just in case but Waitress has gone ahead for a period of time worth it for her.

Lucie has always been very open that Elphaba is her ultimate role.

So who are the final two choices then ?

I would love it to be Laura Harrison, she was also in Legally Blonde and sang "The Wizard and I" at the recent Stephen Schwartz evening at Hope Mill Theatre. She's currently playing Magenta in the Rocky Horror tour but I don't know when that finishes?

I mean, you’d pick Jenna over Elphaba any day because Wicked will go on and on and on and Lucie is plenty young enough that she will probably have opportunities going forward to be in the show, whereas Waitress is not likely to be still going years from now, and Jenna’s a great role!

She's currently playing Magenta in the Rocky Horror tour but I don't know when that finishes? This would be perfect. Unfortunately not this year unless she leaves Rocky Horror soon because I know it has dates well into August and September. She's been someone I've wanted to see as Elphaba for a long while now.

Word on the street is Emma and Savannah are coming back, the producers are so sick of everyone on this thread being totally ungrateful over their inspired casting choices that they've decided to get back your favourite pairing also it's not going to be announced, they'll just turn up on July 22nd along with lots of new cast members and whoever walks out on stage is clearly the 2019/20 cast

They should do a couple of weeks of different pairings every night and publish the schedule before hand!

I always thought for the 10th anniversary they should have done a Billy Elliot situation and had say Kerry/Alexia/Rachel/Willemijn/Emma as Elphaba and Dianne/Louise/Gina/Savannah/Suzie as Glinda and kept switching them about between scenes so you got Louise's Wizard and I, Kerry's Defying Gravity and Willemijn's No Good Deed or something like that

It’s looking like Nikki Bentley has dropped out of Priscilla. I wonder if this means anything in regards to Wicked.

SPOILER ALERT: Nikki Bentley has been removed from the Priscilla tour and she was one of the final three for the role of Elphaba in London.

I might be the only person who is overjoyed with excitement and this rumour and saw it coming an absolute mile off. She made it very clearly she would do what she could to play Elphaba again.

Regardless of individual view on talent, if Nikki gets it over Laura that’s gotta be a kick in the teeth promoting one Standby over the other.

Well that would be explain the lack of announcements then.
Oh well not sure why I hoped for someone new.😂 But good for her if it’s true
