Amanda Flynn - although she never performed in front of an audience, she still performed at put-ins.
ForGood
I'm only including people who actually went on. smile.gif
Wickedly*Defying*Gravity
Does being a temp. lead count? If so, I think Emily Rozek and Laura Woyasz should kinda be considered temp. leads. They shared the time after Erin left and before Megan came back. And they were standby to each other. So what should we put or consider? Does it only count to be temp. lead if you do it for at least 1 month straight?
ForGood
I consider them both standbys who were covering the role until Megan came back.

Melissa Fahn was also a San Francisco and Broadway understudy. I think she went on once in either Sf or Bway.
timeofyoursong
^She went on during the San Fransisco tryouts.
ForGood
Melissa Bell Chait went on in SF. Melissa Fahn didn't go on until LA.
timeofyoursong
Ah, whoops, mixed the Melissas up. mellow.gif
Citizen of oz
Edit: Ignore me, my knowledge seems to be incredibly wrong. Oopps!
Man in Chair
She was standby, and she went on once in June 07, I believe. 23rd or 26th.
Catalys
^23rd June 07 evening. Dianne was standby from 30th April to 14th July 07 but Helen very rarely called out (I think she only had something like 6 or 7 shows off sick in 10 months) so Dianne only went on the once.
clockworkgirl21
Numao Miyuki Original Tokyo lead
Tomada Ayako Tokyo lead
Rori Fayys Tokyo standby
ForGood
Thanks, but until someone who's familiar with the Tokyo production can verify who the leads/standbys/understudies are, I won't add them.
WesternSky
Sarah Earnshaw was an understudy, too, but never went on as a U/S, just as S/B.
ForGood
That's why she's only listed as s/b. smile.gif The lists are for people who actually went on as Elphaba/Glinda and what they were at the time.
WesternSky
Ah ok, cool smile.gif
Miss.Elphie
Lucy Scherer Wicked Stuttgart lead
Jana Stelley Wicked Stuttgart Alternate (till January)
Valerie Link Wicked Stuttgart Cover (will be Alternate)

First National Tour.
YourFiyero
They mean she was a lead on the first national tour, don't worry, I was confused too...
ForGood
Sorry for the confusion. I'll change it to "first national tour."
ForGood
The list has been updated. smile.gif

Michelle London is going on the 2nd tour as a Glinda u/s.

Alexa Green has played the role of Glinda here in S.F. quite a few times now!
ForGood
She listed as a SF understudy. Assuming all went as planned tonight, I'll add 2nd tour lead to Natalie's "resume."

Jess...Thanks so much for all the work you are doing to keep the Elphie and Glinda lists updated!!! I really appreciate it.
ForGood
You're welcome! smile.gif Hopefully I won't forget about them again...
ForGood
Updated.

Here is what I know about the Japanese production...

Miyuki Numao:
Original Tokyo, Closed Tokyo

Asako Tomada:
Current and original Osaka, was lead in Tokyo for awhile
ForGood
Awesome, thanks.
DefyingGravity1991
is it bad that i came here to see if Kristen Bell was ever a Glinda? LOL
i was just watching "Reefer Madness" and i was thinking "She's soooo Glinda!" LOL
clockworkgirl21
Emily Ferranti - first tour understudy
Chloe Taylor - West End standby
Lucy Newton - West End understudy
green*girl
Heather Carino- Oberhausen understudy
clockworkgirl21
Suzie Mathers - Australian tour understudy went on April 19

Takae Yamamoto - Fukuoka lead

Miyuki Numao - Original Fukuoka
Kerri L. K.
Allyce Martins is the other Australian tour understudy, and she made her last week midshow for Lucy Durack.
And we might want to mark Lucy as the Australian tour lead.

Emmi Kangas - Finland's standby

I feel like there are markedly more Glindas than Elphabas. The 1st and 2nd national tour go through Glinda understudies like nobody's business. Elphabas and their understudies and standbys seem to hold on for a while longer.

Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I misfiguring?
Fritz
^ No, I've noticed that as well.

I have noticed too. The Broadway company has had the same Glinda understudies going on 4yrs now though. Maybe since there is a standby there?
and1987
Kate Fahrner is now a Broadway standy in case no one already knew.
SwankifiedOzian
These Glindas can all be added.

Megan Campanile (First Tour understudy)
Kate Fahrner (Broadway standby)
Tiffany Haas (Second Tour lead)
Chantal Janzen (Scheveningen lead)
Alli McGinnis (First Tour understudy)
Chandra Lee Schwartz (Broadway lead)
SwankifiedOzian
Céline Purcell (Scheveningen alternate) was on for the November 12 mat. smile.gif
SwankifiedOzian
Lucy Durack went on as Glinda in Singapore last night, due to Suzie Mathers' being sick. Maybe you should add her as Asia Tour standby, since she is there until Suzie is well.
SwankifiedOzian
Per ForGood's permission, I will be taking over the Elphaba and Glinda lists. I will make a new thread, but I just wanted to let everyone know that my thread (it will be called Glindas - The Definitive List 2.0) is the one to comment on, if a new Glinda goes on.
