Does anyone know if they're pulling in a temporary replacement for Steph in her month away? Or Sebastian? or will Lisa, Caissie, and all of the Fiyero understudies share the shows?

Also, on a side note, will the playbill be changed to reflect these understudies?

There is a thread to discuss the absences of both Steph and Sebastian from the show: http://www.witchesofoz.com/wicked_boards/i...showtopic=26572
It's only a few weeks so I'm guessing they'll use the understudies, but I don't really know. I would be surprised if they brought in someone for that short time. I am not sure about the playbills.

I highly doubt they are going to bring someone else in for 3 weeks... I think that's how long they are going to be gone... But yeah, I agree with Jennie... I think they would use the understudies.

They brought Kristy in for Stephanie at the beginning of the tour, and Eden for the tour in August '05. Both of those were short stints. So I wouldn't put it past the Wicked producers.

That being said, if they DO opt for that and don't let Lisa do the bulk of the shows... I will not be pleased. Not that anyone in the Wicked production team cares... But I seriously won't be pleased.

I wouldn't put it past the Wicked producers to bring one person in temporarily, (I wonder who it would be, any guesses?) but I sincerely hope Lisa (and Caissie) get to understudy each show. I. would. die. Not to say I wouldn't completely die if I saw Stephanie, but I've heard so many good things about Lisa that I feel as if I must see her. Same with Stephanie.

Pretty much everything Petra said before me, haha.

Well in LA when Kristoffer went on vacation for 2 weeks they brought in Michael Seelbach to cover for him.

Redundant topic.
