4. January 24, 2006 marked the first show for Stacie Morgain Lewis, Kristy Cates and Kristoffer Cusick in their starring roles in the Chicago production.

Answer: False

On January 24, 2006, Kristy Cates replaced Ana Gasteyer as Elphaba and Stacie Morgain Lewis replaced Kate Reinders as Glinda. However, Kristoffer Cusick was one of the originals in the Chicago production.

5. On March 8, 2006, five of the principal tour members were replaced.

Answer: False

On March 8, 2006, Julia Murney replaced Stephanie J. Block as Elphaba, Alma Cuervo replaced Carole Shelley as Madame Morrible, P.J. Benjamin replaced David Garrison as The Wizard, and Jennifer Waldman replaced Jenna Leigh Green as Nessarose. K. Todd Freeman did replace Timothy Britten Parker as Dr. Dillamond, but not until March 28, 2006.

6. Aside from being the touring production's original Nessarose, which other character has Jenna Leigh Green been standby for?

Answer: Elphaba

I found this interesting. Maria Eberline is also an understudy for Elphaba, and in the event that Jenna Leigh Green gets to play Elphaba, Maria Eberline gets to play Nessarose.

7. What theatre was the cast recorded on the "Wicked" album alumni of?

Answer: The Gershwin

The Broadway show is sold as the "Wicked" recording.

8. At which theatre did "Wicked" have its San Francisco pre-Broadway run?

Answer: The Curran Theatre

The Curran Theatre was the home to the San Francisco run of "The Phantom of the Opera", starring Franc D'Ambrosio. The Orpheum Theatre is where the "Wicked" tour played in San Francisco from August 5, 2005 - September 11, 2005. The Gershwin is where "Wicked" plays on Broadway and The Blake is a theatre I made up.

9. Who was the original choice for The Wizard on the San Francisco trial run of "Wicked"?

Answer: Robert Morse

Robert Morse was replaced by Joel Grey for the eventual Broadway run. George Hearn replaced Joel Grey on Broadway on July 20, 2004, and was eventually replaced by Ben Vereen on May 31, 2005.

10. Who portrayed Elphaba in the original workshops?

Answer: Stephanie J. Block

Idina Menzel was the original Elphaba on Broadway. Shoshana Bean replaced Idina Menzel as Elphaba on January 11, 2005 and Eden Espinosa replaced Shoshana Bean as Elphaba on January 10, 2006. There have also been many standbys for Elphaba that have gone on stage, most notably Saycon Sengbloh and Brandi Chavonne Massey, both who have played Elphaba in replacement of Shoshana Bean.
