Roscioli is another people were unsure about. Kristy introduced Dee at the concert and she said ROW-SEE-O-LEE

It's a hard c. No long "e" on the "de" part. The "de" is like the "de" in "Cinco de mayo".

I personally visualize the pronunciation as de-CHEEK-oh.

But I suppose I could let Christina give the definitive answer.

Popular_Galinda
I believe it's pronounced like RIM-EE ZA-Kin..The A in Za is like the A in Skater.
Ravvana
Okay, I fail at life, but Eberline? 'Cause I always said Ebber-line, but then her email address now is making me think Ebb-burr-lyn and I feel like an idiot icon_redface.gif
ForGood
It's Ebb-er-line (as is wine).

I seriously cant believe that I've been pronouncing Jenna's middle name wrong for 2 1/2 years. Thats embarrassing.

Saycon's last name is Sehng-blow. There's a video of Kenway pronouncing his name with Julia Murney on Broadway.com, it's intense

Socha. I can't believe I'm asking this, since we knew each other years ago, so long ago that she probably won't remember me, but I never knew her last name was different than her mom's so...

I'm assuming you mean Socha, as in Alexandra Socha of Spring Awakening?

She pronounces it SO-sha, where "sha" rhymes with "mama". (Source: http://www.broadwayworld.com/videoplay.cfm?colid=22417)

I have met people with the same last name who pronounce it differently, tho.
DefyGravity17
I thought Caissie Levy was Cassie Levy (with only one i)

Ashleigh Gray has always got me. Is it Ashley or Ashlie (as in lie down)
Also Brescia. I always said Bres-kia am i correct?
Layota Lajian - London ensemble

CaissieLevyFan
i've always pronounced caissie like cassie..not casey..r u sure? lol

pod-shoon. haha now that i look @ it, i ahev no idea how i got what i thought it was. lol
Popular_Galinda
^I think the first "I" in her name makes it like Casey. That's what I always thought anyway.

ForGood
I'm almost positive it's like Casey.
kris_pirie
How about Weygeant? I think that's how it's spelled.. the Wizard in Chicago.

I believe it's pronounced BRE-shuh (bre as in bread and shuh rhymes with the ga in Galinda)
Elphie Fabala Fae
^ I think it's Bre-shuh too. That's what I heard someone say it like that on some vid. I thnk it was Annaleigh. I'm not sure,though.
LittleGalinda
It's definately Breh-shuh. That's how she says it!

And I've always said Caissie like Casey...
Elphie Fabala Fae
^ I don't say Caissie's name because I don't know how to pronounce it! Haha!
