There are a couple where the musical needs to be "forked" from the source material. Feel free to add or remove as necessary. Important: If you split an article, please make sure that you move all the relevant links from the first article to the new one. To find which links to move, click on "What links here" at the old article and look through the list to see which links should be pointed to the film related link (for example, articles on actors in the film). Then, click on those links and update them to point to the film article. Thanks!

[edit] Layout

I know we have the layouts by order of appearance, but it just looks odd to have the Witch's Father/Mother and Midwife in between the main characters. I think it should be Elphaba, Glinda, Fiyero, Nessarose, Wizard, Morrible, Chistery. Anyone agree? TR_Wolf

I think it would be best to keep it however it appears in the Playbills, which I assume is by order of appearance. Yankee fan907

Should we delete the Abby Mueller/Nessarose and Michael Weber/Wizard replacement information? There is absolutely no confirmation on this from any source online that I've been able to find. Barbara Robertson's replacement has been announced, but the other two are hearsay at best, and don't belong in a Wikipedia article until a press release is issued- or better yet, until they actually start performing.

[edit] Dianne Pilkington

I have edited the London Standby section to mention that Dianne Pilkington is currently the standby for Glinda in the London production. Sarah Earnshaw will officially become the new standby on July 16, 2007 (and remains the understudy). Dianne has not yet played Glinda. Icedblue11 22:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese Production, Tokyo

Can anyone read kanji well enough to add the current Japanese cast to this page? I know Elphaba is played by Megumi Hamada, and G(a)linda by Miyuki Numao, but I can't read the rest. The cast are listed here: [1] - however, the same website gives this list, with alternatives as well - [2] (scroll down for cast).

[edit] Actor bios

Dunno if this is the right place to put this, but it seems appropriate. Several Wicked cast members have their own biography pages on Wikipedia, and I've been going through some of these articles to tone down on the emphasis they all seem to put on Wicked--the musical is often detailed as if it's the most important project each actor has ever done, which is not always the case. I'm mainly talking about some of the cruft such as their exact contract dates, their eventual replacements, etc. If readers want that information, they can easily find it in one of the Wicked-related pages. -Alex 04:39, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LA Morrible Cast Replacement

So apparently no one really gets what went on when Carol Kane left. She had her last show the same night as Eden and Adam... While Caissie Levy and Michael Drolet took over right away, Jo Anne Worely didn't start until a week later on the 8th. The week where there was no Morrible, Dioni Michelle Collins and Linda Kerns (the understudies) played the role.

But every time I try to change the Wikipedia page to reflect that someone changes it on me.

But I hope I clear up the confusion for at least one person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.41.1.22 (talk) 02:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dee Roscioli

Is there a conformation for the date of Dee's last show? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.61.166.63 (talk) 04:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
