Nothing changes because got damn I don't stop!!

My favorite thing about Six is that it tends to cast younger, more unknown names. But if you had to cast incredibly established Broadway/West End names as each of the queens who would you pick (personally I’m DYING for a Shoshana Bean!Seymour haha)

So I was debating on how established to go with, partially because I'm always a horrible judge of how much someone is established vs someone I just keep up with a lot and partially because Broadway has not always prioritized women of color enough in their casting. But I generally included actors with at least one lead credit on Broadway and usually at least one Tony nom (w/ a few exceptions).

Fun Home - Kansas City Repertory Theater

this dyke is on the hunt for anything of mariand torres singing ‘days and days’ like that’s gonna change my life and i need it thank you very much

So I’ve seen Mariand Torres, Dee Roscioli, Jennifer DiNola, and Jackie Burns as Elphaba and I have to be real. After the distance of time Dee is the only one that stands out. She was sensational. The others were great vocalists but nothing really sticks in my memory. Like at all. They’re like one big blur of belters to me except Dee.

Wicked 2nd National Tour — Mariand’s last show (Sept 22, 2019)

Has Evita ever been played by an Argentine actress? or a Latin American at least? I see all of you praising Solea and Patti for play this role, but as far as I know they’re neither Argentinian nor Latina.

Elena Roger who is Argentinian played the role in the 2006 West End Revival and the 2012 Broadway Revival. There was also Emma Kingston in the recent International Tour, who was absolutely outstanding.

As for Latina women who have played the role: (Just a select few) Eden Espinosa at Studio Tenn Madalena Alberto in the 2014 West End Revival as well as a UK Tour Mariand Torres at Kansas Repertory Theatre Natalie Cortez at Riverside Theatre Samantha Pauly at Marriott Theatre and Regent Park

I've seen four Elphabas: Mariand Torres (my first), Dee Roscioli, Jenifer DiNola, and Donna Vivino. Dee was the best out of those four.
