Another Hundred People: Elphaba-Wicked

So I figured that when I did that post for Miss Saigon returning to Broadway and having pictures of all the Kim's I thought "Why not make this a new post segment?" The segment will be title "Another Hundred People" a pun on the title from the Stephen Sondheim show Company. I also figured why not do it with the amazing role of Elphaba from the hit Broadway musical Wicked. Here we go! (BTW: Because of all the women who have played Elphaba this post will be focused on the ones who were in English speaking productions. I will do a post later on of foreign speaking Elphaba's. Even then to weed out more people I will only be doing those who have production photos/photos in costume. There is over 100 Elphaba's and that's only the English language so give me a break. Also I can't get the pictures to be in a perfect order when posted so deal with it.) *Quick Note: If the production has an * next to it that means they were a form Elphaba Standby in that production. If the production has an ^ next to it that means they were a former Elphaba Understudy in that production.*

Welcome Back Miss Saigon!

So another way I'm going to celebrate Miss Saigon's LONG AWAITED return to the Great White Way is by having a production photo of every single Broadway Kim. Some photos may not actually be from the Broadway production or might just be head shots because I can't find any shots of them as Kim or they have yet to be taken, but you know meh. Ready? Here goes. *Quick Note: If the production has an * next to it that means they were a form Kim Alternate in that production. If the production has an ^ next to it that means they were a former Kim Understudy in that production.*
