Katie Rose Clarke is a veteran of the “Wicked” stage, not only does the actress know the role like the back of her hand – as she spent two years performing the role of Glinda in the first national tour of the production – but now she’s back, re-rehearsing the lines, stage position and wardrobe changes as she returned January 14, 2010 for the production in Gershwin Theater. Clarke will join new actress Jenny Fellner as she takes over for the role of Nessarose, as well as Gershwin stage veterans Dee Roscioli as Elphaba, Tony Award winner Rondi Reed as Madame Morrible, P.J. Benjamin as The Wizard, Kevin Kern as Fiyero, Alex Brightman as Boq and Timothy Britten Parker as Dr. Dillamond. The previous castmates Eric Mackey (Glinda) and Michelle Federer (Nessarose) will take their roles through January 10th. Clarke made her Broadway debut with the show “The Light in the Piazza,” while Fellner premiered in Broadway’s “Mama Mia!” and “Pal Joey” revival.
