Rejoicify! Two-Time Tony Winner Judy Kaye, Carrie St. Louis & More Tapped for Wicked on Broadway

Thrillifying news from Broadway's Wicked! Two-time Tony winner Judy Kaye will begin performances as Madame Morrible in the long-running tuner on February 16. Meanwhile, on February 2, Carrie St. Louis and Peter Scolari have been tapped to assume the roles of Glinda and the Wizard, taking over for Kara Lindsay and Fred Applegate, respectively.

Kaye took home the Tony for Nice Work If You Can Get It and Phantom; St. Louis made her Broadway debut in Rock of Ages and has been playing Glinda on the National Tour. Scolari, perhaps best known for Bosom Buddies, was last seen on the Great White Way in Bronx Bombers.

Also joining the cast at the Gershwin Theatre on February 2 will be Dawn Cantwell (for Arielle Jacobs) as Nessarose, Michael Genet (for Timothy Britten Parker) as Dr. Dillamond and Zachary Piser (for Robin De Jesus ) as Boq.

Rachel Tucker will continue to defy gravity as Elphaba and Jonah Platt remains as Fiyero. Kathy Fitzgerald is scheduled to play the role of Madame Morrible from February 2 through February 14, stepping in for Michele Lee.
