Yet so many posts on here treating her like she's not a human-being and "can't handle the role"
Can we put to rest the constant judgemental comments? It's gotten really ridiculous at this point. I bet she's not thrilled about it either.

Literally said a couple of days ago to someone that Laura Pick was going to come back to cover within the next couple of weeks. I think I have actual magical powers. Not really. Wicked were down to their last Elphaba cover. It was pretty obvious a previous cast member was on standby backstage. Although if you want to give us the winning lottery numbers feel free Also everyone feel free to judge Alexia at the end of her contract, but also give the girl a break. Life gets in the way sometimes, as it does for us all. If Wicked thought her anyway an unreliable performer they would not have asked her back for her third run.

I bet she's not thrilled about it either. Nobody has ever asked for the reason performers are off to be divulged, whether that’s specific medical conditions or otherwise. What has been asked for us acknowledgement of the fact that someone is off so that customers who are wanting to see them can make informed decisions.

Sorry, I thought the endless speculation suggested otherwise. I understand wanting to see certain performers, but I believe they don't owe audiences any explanation. Can understand the frustration though. I actually think Wicked go above and beyond with actually making holidays public and at least they still let West End Covers post 😉

But the question is who is going to be playing Elphaba today.
Laura has posted she’s off to Cardiff.

This week at Wicked London we've had Amy Webb, Kate Leiper, Nicola Espallardo, Laura Pick and now Rebecca Gilliland all play the role of Elphaba!
I believe five different Elphabas in a single week is a record breaker?

Haha I figured but you can never tell - they'd ask Ms Menzel before they'd ask Lucie I think!

I really don't get it with the constant changes in Elphaba. In the good old days the cast were pretty reliable from memory and those in leading roles did by and large do most of their shows that were scheduled. I await to be proved wrong by those who know better than me, I just know whenever I saw it I saw who was scheduled to be on in leading roles.

I’d love any of us to try doing an eight show Elphaba week and not be peeling bits of our shredded uvula off the ceiling of the Apollo Victoria…for there not to be 2 scheduled alternate shows is quite frankly, madness.

I’m curious. So we know that Rebecca was there on Friday night I assume to emergency standby for Laura. I wonder who they would have had in yesterday to do it for Rebecca.

Who's on this afternoon?
I've started to look forward to my daily dose of excitement in finding out who's been drawn out of the hat in the Elphaba tombola.

I believe Alexia lost someone close to her recently. Her saying "this is for you, goodbye" is likely referencing that her performance today is dedicated to that person.

This ^^^
Although it is slightly comical watching people on Twitter lose their mind and saying she’s leaving. I’ve even saw one Tweet that she’s been forced out by the other Elphabas 💀💀💀

They had asked me, but I’m busy watching rubbish on Netflix, so was unable to make my Elphaba debut today. Y’all gonna have to wait a bit longer. (Like, a reeeaallly long time).
