Fresh Blood Principles in Wicked (Part 2)

It's been a little over a year since I last made a post about fresh blooded principles in Wicked and look how much has changed since then! We got fresh blood for the roles of Fiyero, The Wizard, Madame Morrible, Boq, Nessarose and Dr. Dillamond. Unfortunately we still have no fresh blood in the roles of Elphaba or Glinda. I really don't understand why casting directors find it so difficult to cast fresh blood in the roles of Elphaba and Glinda. There are so many amazing women who could do these roles and they just keep bringing back the same often mediocre people or only promoting the most mediocre standbys. It's time for some fresh blood in the two lead roles Wicked. I'm getting tired of seeing the same people. Again, I've listed dates of the latest fresh blood in a role meaning they were never an understudy or standby and/or weren't in a prior production of Wicked before. If a person's name is underlined that means they are currently in the show. (I have included Gizel who takes over as Nessarose on Broadway this March.)
