Elphaba and nessarose
Emma Hunton played Elphaba.
So far, yes. Marcie has no other plans to play the role of 'Elphaba' in any production of Wicked. At least that haven't been released yet.
Idina Menzel's role in 'Wicked' was Elphaba, also known as 'The Wicked Witch of the West' from the Wizard of Oz. She won numerous awards for her performance, including a Tony for 'Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical'.
Eden Espinosa, Caissie Levy, and Teal Wicksare the three different actresses to play Elphaba in the production of 'Wicked' in Los Angeles, California. Eden Espinosa [b. February 2, 1978] was Elphaba from February 10, 2007 to December 30, 2007. Caissie Levy [b. April 15, 1981] was Elphaba from January 1, 2008 to May 11, 2008. Teal Wicks was Elphaba from May 13, 2008 to October 28, 2008. Eden Espinosa resumed the role from October 31, 2008 to the final Los Angeles performance on January 11, 2009.
The scared little lion from the beginning of the play becomes the lion without courage because in the play Elphaba scares him with her powers and then he has no courage and he is a coward.
The play takes certain liberties with the source material. The book 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' is more closely paired with the movie 'The Wizard of Oz' than the musical is. In the musical 'Wicked' Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow when Elphaba cast a spell for him to never die. In the book, Fiyero does not become the Scarecrow. I the movie, the Scarecrow has no connection to the witch prior to his travels with Dorothy.
No, Elphaba Thropp, who is one of two main characters in the musical "Wicked," is not a real person.Specifically, Elphaba is represented by author Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954) as the Wicked Witch of the West in her youth. The Wicked Witch of the West is a character from "The Wizard of Oz" by author and Royal Oz Histories originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919). Baum left no known indication that his Wicked Witch of the West was based on any real person. Maguire likewise has given no indication other than to give to Elphaba a passionate concern for animal welfare. That concern was a lifelong passion of Margaret Hamilton (December 9, 1902 - May 16, 1985), who played the Wicked Witch in the beloved 1939 movie version of "The Wizard of Oz."
I assume you meant Boq. In the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Boq is a rich Munchkin Dorothy spends the night with before she begins her journey. In the book Wicked, Boq is a friend of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. In the play Wicked, Boq becomes the Tinman.
The exact salary depends upon a number of factors. One is the experience and reputation of the singer/actress. Another is the location in which the play is being performed. Both factors may result in different salaries, in different places, for playing the taxing role of Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West and the main character in the play 'Wicked'.
No they're not. Idina may play Elphaba in the movie version but Chenno is currently doing TV and Film work.actually cheno is now out of work so its rumored she is going to be in th wicked movie.
