I really can see Donna Vivino taking the role to Broadway - as RJ said, it simply seems like it would make sense. That said, if she doesn't, I see Anne Brummel kind of being a longshot - but then again, they bumped Marcie from San Fran standby to Broadway lead, so it wouldn't be the first standby from another production to be bumped to the lead on Broadway.
Seeing as the tours do have a habit of promoting ladies, both from standby to lead and understudy to lead, I wouldn't be shocked to see her take over the 2nd Tour, nor would I be completely shocked to see Jenny DiNoia take over 2nd Tour. As for Broadway, they really like to recycle - so my guess would be a former lead.

I think it's because she's the most logical choice. Think about it... Marcie has been bounced between three different Wicked productions over the last two years, and she's already done Broadway and, while I imagine she will probably come back to the show in New York at some point, I doubt it will be soon. I think it's pretty safe to say that Jenny is never going to be a lead Elphaba. She's been standby for over three years and was an understudy for over a year and a half prior to that. If she was ever going to get promoted, it would have happened by now. Same for Julie. And I honestly don't see Anne being given the Broadway spot. 2nd Tour? Maybe... BIG maybe. I just don't think her voice could handle it, but I could be totally wrong. Teal had all kinds of issues in her last run, and did she ever do a full eight-show week in San Francisco? Leaving Donna, whose longevity has been proven and who has not suffered any of the issues that most other women in the role have when it comes to the deterioration of their voices. She's also a very strong actress and singer and has the charisma and the skills needed to anchor such a high-stakes production.
yeah i see what ur saying!
thank to those who explained their reasoning!
this is exciting! i hope they release the name soon!
also, is there word on Katie leaving anytime soon?
^Amen to that! Though I must say that standbys like Julie and Jenny still have chances at lead albeit Wicked wants the audience to have a top notch show even when the principle is out. So Julie and Jenny are in the right place considering that the producers have kept them as a the "grade-A" plan B.

^Julie is indeed in Philly in White Christmas!

so in that case she left Wicked, which means its not her. (most likely)
it very well could be, but most likely not.
So i met with Mandy last night, and she told us that she WAS NOT leaving on January 9th, but she was not going to be there in February.
...this is like a mystery haha

True story!! I was there haha. Katie Rose also said she would be there in february...so i'm thinking she will be there for a while
If this news is true looks like I will have a ticket up for sale for Jan 11th!
hmmm ... that is so weird.
because i know the message on her fb fanpage was definitely from her and it said january 9.
oh well ... i guess we gotta wait and see what happens.

see thats what i heard too, but i heard it STRAIGHT form Mandy herself which makes me feel
that her facebook message wasn't real.
She asked us if we were going to the show tonight, and this happened.
Us: unfortunately no, but we have Tickets for February and we heard you were leaving January 9th. Thats why we came so we could meet you!
Mandy: Actually i'm not, thats not my last show (she gave a confused look) but im so happy you came! (she then asked us a few questions)
(we answered her questions and laughed and stuff)
Us: really?!
Mandy: yeah but i wont be here in Feb, thats for sure. Usually they keep our replacements on the DL, we dont usually know until it happens. I dont know whats happening
then we took pictures and hugged and got signed pictures and she told us that we made her day!
EDIT: Jennifer (elphaba) also told us she has one scheduled performance as of now. she was too sweet.
^ Did she say when the performance was?? I'd love to see Jenny again! 
As for Mandy, I guess we just have to wait and see! In theory the 16th, 23rd, or 30th would be her last show.....hmm....

I'm confused - is Taylor Trensch no longer with the Broadway cast?

Taylor was only there temporarily (3 months), while Etai BenShlomo was doing a show in San Diego.
Amanda Rose has replaced Briana Yacavone as the vocal swing and Midwife/Nessarose understudy.
