Jennifer DiNoia will defy gravity on Broadway once again! The Wicked favorite is set to step in to the long-running tuner, taking over for Rachel Tucker as Elphaba from August 1. Tucker's final performance at the Gershwin Theatre is scheduled for July 30.
DiNoia has performed the role of Elphaba in seven companies across four countries, more than any other actress in the show’s history (Broadway, Chicago, both North American National Tours, London, Korea and Australia). She was also a part of the original company of We Will Rock You in Las Vegas and the first National Tour of Mamma Mia! DiNoia's voice can be heard on Wise Mom's ESL book series and the Killer Queen album on Hollywood Records.
The cast additionally currently includes Carrie St. Louis as Glinda, Tony Award-winner Judy Kaye as Madame Morrible, Peter Scolari as the Wizard, Dawn E. Cantwell as Nessarose, Michael Genet as Dr. Dillamond, and Zachary Noah Piser as Boq.
