Forgive me for being so boring, here's some facts So far in 2016 (up to today) there has been 43 shows.
Emma Hatton: 24 Natalie Andreou: 18.5 Natalie McQueen: 0.5
So while it is that Emma has missed a LOT, she was scheduled to miss 8 shows on holiday. So currently in 2016 she has missed 11 shows unscheduled this year. Last year she was MUCH better with attendance, so I guess it's just winter colds and stuff!

Does anyone know why we got Tom McGowan anyway? Not seen him and heard he is very good, but just wondering why someone like Mark wasn't cast in the first place? I doubt they were holding the spot for him!
I know people say it's the Equity link, and we got Jenny as the US had Gina and they got Rachel so we got Tom. But if this is true why didn't we get anyone when Kerry and Miriam went over to Broadway?

I know this is never going to happen but how amazing would it be for the tenth anniversary week to have a different Elphaba every show?
Monday: Idina Menzel Tuesday: Kerry Ellis (she should do the 10th day as she is the first British Elphaba Wednesday: Alexia Khadime Wednesday eve: Rachel Tucker Thursday: Louise Dearman Friday: Willemijn Verkaik Saturday m: Jennifer DiNoia Saturday e: Emma Hatton
Would destroy my bank account as I'd be seeing 8 wicked shows in one week and I know it will never happen as they hardly celebrated on Broadway, but one can dream!
(I am aware that the brilliant casting will no doubt be Emma Hatton and Savannah Stevenson extending!)

From looking at it I think this is what's happening Belfast: Alexandra Burke is leading, Carole Stennett is doing matinees and Rachel John will cover sickness. Canterbury: Carole Stennett will lead while doing midweek matinees, Rachel John will do weekend matinees. Sunderland: Zoe Birkett will lead, Carole Stennett will do matinees and Rachel John will cover sickness.
Then from Leicester Alexandra leads again, but I don't know how long for!

Are tickets for the 10th anniversary likely to go on sale on Monday? They were in the last booking period but no tickets available...

I don't think Emmas that bad. She is definitley better live than she is on audios! Also, in my opinion, much improved since her standby days and the early days of her lead.

So we could, based on tweets, be looking at potentially Shona White as Elphaba and Maria Coyne as Glinda? I don't think Cassandra covered Glinda, did she? So maybe she's Nessa?
If so, that would be great - sure Maria got great reviews as Glinda and went on a few times when Savannah broke her foot?

I'm sure Shona White tweeted recently that she was watching the show as did Cassandra Compton. Could this be hinting to anything?
I say this as Carrie St Louis and Alyssa Fox were watching Wicked on Broadway a few days before them joining the company was announced!

Does anyone else think; or hope, that this will be like the US Tour and sort of run open ended, just constantly announcing new countries and cities?
Will the cast in Bradford move onto Asia too? I know it can be edited by anyone but the Wicked Cast Wikia seems to think it will be two seperate casts?
