    I wish!

    No, her contract expired in 2004(when whe originated the role on broadway, then she went on to the west end). The other answer was wrong. she did not go out of the show because of her back. she broke a rib or two during the melting scene. this was in her 2nd to last show. shoshana bean replaced her. now there have been many elphabas in the broadway production of wicked, but the current one is Nicole Parker( from MADtv).

    IDINA MENZEL ROCKS!

    No, Idina left Wicked January 9, 2005. At least 30something women have played/are playing Elphaba since then.

    Current Elphabas:

    San Francisco- Teal Wicks

    Broadway- Nicole Parker

    Tour- Donna Vivino

    Melbourne- Amanda Harrison

    Stuttgart- Willemijn Verkaik

    London- Kerry Ellis

    Tokyo- Megumi Hamada

    Wicked was sweet! I saw it in 2004 in New York with Idina and Kristin. Now Idina has moved on to other projects, but I bet it's still amazing! :)

    Nope. It's Nicole Parker now on Broadway. She hasn't done the show since 2006 in the West End [london]

    No. She was in England a few years ago when she got an injury while "melting". She stopped after that.

    no, she quit years ago, after she hurt her back when she fell through the trap door when she was supposed to be melting.
