I still think Dianne Pilkington could do Elphaba, her belt is amazing...

Since Christina DeCicco originally auditioned for Elphaba I'd love to see her perform the role. I think Victoria also auditioned for Glinda, so I'd love to see them play opposite each other in the opposite roles.

Shoshana as Nessa didn't do anything for me, but it would be interesting for her and Megan to switch roles.


Personally I see where you're coming from. Shoshana's never really wowed me with her acting, it's really her voice that has won me over with her as Elphie. I do love her Wicked Witch Of The East as well.

Yes, she understudied Elphaba and played Glinda opposite Pia Douwes' Elphaba in a concert/gala event.

I'm not really counting that as wasn't that basically just a test of Wicked for Germany and they only did DG, no?
Fritz
Yeah, I wouldn't count that considering it was for like two songs.

^ duh, how could i forget? lol

I wonder if there ever will be someone who will have both played Elphaba AND Glinda. Or maybe all 3.

I think I read somewhere on here that Chelsea Krombach was considered for being both the Elphaba and Glinda understudy, so I wonder what she would be like as Glinda.
Fritz
I recall that - plus Megan Hilty & Christina DeCicco both went in auditioning for Elphaba and ended up playing Glinda.
ForGood
I'm pretty sure Megan didn't audition for Elphaba. Her friends just assumed she would. Christina did audition for Elphaba though.
Fritz
Oh, gotcha. I misunderstood the interview.

Chelsea certainly has the voice and range to be a Glinda. Ironically right now she is Cheno's understudy in Promises Promises.
ForGood
^She's not listed as an understudy in the playbill.
Fritz
That's bizarre - I heard she was covering the role. Who is listed as the understudy?
ForGood
I guess whoever first said she was covering the role was mistaken. Kristin's understudies are Sarah Jane Everman and Megan Sikora, who are of course both Wicked alums. smile.gif
DefyingGravity777
Ah I did not know that either. I love Megan Sikora. I saw her in Curtains.
Fritz
Funny that two Glinda u/s are covering it.

Would be more funny if it were two Elphaba u/s...lol.

Laura Dysarczyk, Alexa Green, Annie Funke, and Kyle McDaniel performed at an AIDS benefit concert last night (and tonight if anybody's interested (minus Wicked)). Now to tie this in to the topic of the board: Alexa sang The Wizard and I smile.gif "And one day he'll say to me... GLINDA..." It was really, really good. A bit unusual to hear a Glinda voice in an Elphaba song, but she did it really well biggrin.gif

Bumping up this old thread, because I make lists all the time and decided to make one of people who have covered (not necessarily performed) as Elphaba or Glinda and also another role.

I will put a * next to them if they definitely performed as both. If it is unclear, I will put a ? and maybe someone can let me know if they went on.

Thank you. I will still leave them on the list, but not with a *.
