Mandy Gonzalez was the lead Elphpaba in July. If She wasnt on it might have been her standby Jennifer DeNoia. Or her understudy, although it probably wasnt, Stephanie Thorns.
Hope this helps :)

Boq is in love with Galinda, but ends up unhappily married to Nessarose. He is a very important and very rich Munchkin in the book version of The Wizard of Oz. But in the musical, Nessarose causes him to become the subsequent Tin Woodman of The Wizard of Oz. Chistery is a monkey servant for whom Elphaba cares, because of her particular concern over the rights and well-being of animals. Dorothy Gale is a visitor to the lands and peoples of Oz. She thinks that she has killed Elphaba by throwing water on her, and thereby causing her to melt into nothingness. Dr. Dillamond is one of Elphaba's professors at Shiz University. As a goat that can talk, he's ka an Animal, as opposed to animals that can't talk. Elphaba Thropp becomes the Wicked Witch of the West of The Wizard of Oz. Although the writing of the novel and the stage of the play Wicked take place decades after the original 1900 book and 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz, it may be seen as a prequel. But it provides a clarification on Elphaba's fate. For her supposed end in Oz is actually her beginning elsewhere with fellow student and lover, Prince Fiyero. He becomes the Scarecrow of The Wizard of Oz. Galinda Upland of the Upper Uplands becomes Glinda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz. Madame Morrible is the headmistress of Shiz University. Melina is the mother of Elphaba and of Nessarose. She's married to Munchkinland Governor Frexpar, who is a doting father to Nessarose, and abusive stepfather to Elphaba. Nessarose Thropp succeeds her father as Governor of Munchkinland. She becomes the Wicked Witch of the East in The Wizard of Oz. Pfanny and Shen Shen are college girlfriends of Galinda. Professor Nikidik succeeds Dr. Dillamond at Shiz University. The Wizard may be the real father of Elphaba. He's a carnival huckster who becomes the Supreme Ruler of the Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz.
