With Idina Menzel returning to Glee, Broadway.com asked which other Wicked veteran should guest star on the Emmy-nominated series. The top three vote getters include two Elphabas and a Fiyero who went on to star in Catch Me If You Can.
1. Kerry Ellis - 26%
First place goes to a friend of Menzel's, British actress Kerry Ellis, who served as the Tony-winning star's standby when she opened the West End production of Wicked in 2006. Ellis later succeeded Menzel full time and ventured to Broadway in 2008, where she earned a Broadway.com Audience Choice Award for Favorite Replacement.
2. Aaron Tveit - 20%
Catch Me If You Can and Next to Normal star Aaron Tveit played Wicked's hunky prince Fiyero in 2008. A guest spot on Glee wouldn't be a stretch for this popular young star: He auditioned to play Finn in the show's pilot!
3. Teal Wicks - 14%
Teal Wicks recently finished her run as Elphaba and is in rehearsal for the new musical The Blue Flower at off-Broadway's Second Stage Theatre. Broadway.com recently nominated Wicks to go head to head with Glee star Lea Michele in a musical adaptation of Mean Girls!
