Wicked National Tour Update!

Wicked musical Houston tour concluded with huge applause where they toured with new Elphaba and Glinda taking the leads. The current tour features Olivia Valli as Elphaba and Celia Hottenstein as Glinda in the National Tour of Wicked.

Olivia Valli, who plays Elphaba in the national tour of “Wicked,” first saw the musical in 2015 on Broadway. She was fascinated by the story, a prequel to “The Wizard of Oz” that focuses on the relationship between a young Glinda, the good witch, and Elphaba, the misunderstood green witch. Valli first auditioned for the role after college, then worked for several months as a wedding singer. But she kept coming back to Oz. She eventually landed the part of Elphaba’s understudy on the tour, where she sharpened her skills from 2016-2019. Houston, in fact, was the first place she stepped into the role.

Celia Hottenstein, the current tour’s Glinda, followed a similar path (or yellow brick road, if you will). She grew up a theater kid and first saw “Wicked” in 2005, a year-and-a-half after it opened on Broadway. From that moment, Glinda was her “dream” role. Hottenstein auditioned five times for the show across six years, eventually securing the role of Glinda’s understudy. She went on as Glinda 10 times on Broadway.

The musical follow how these two girls grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Good Witch of the East. “Wicked,” now the fourth longest-running show on Broadway (having recently surpassed “Cats”).

TV celebrity John Davidson is on stage as the Wizard in Wicked musical. Davidson plays the Wizard in Wicked which opens a six-week run Wednesday September 18, 2013 at the Orpheum Theatre MN.

John Davidson as the Wizard in Wicked

“I’m only onstage 17 minutes out of a three-hour show, and they’re paying me quite well to do that,” he said. “I’m a very lucky man.” “I grew up singing Rodgers & Hammerstein, but ‘Wicked’ has taken the musical to a whole new level,” he said. “I’m proud to be a part of this production.”

Davidson said he is fine with the smaller part of the Wizard instead of being the leading man he was for so many years. “I’m realistic about where I am in life right now. But I love playing the con man,” he said.

He said he is happy still to be involved in his first love, live theater, although he believes all the media are related.

The role also gives Davidson a chance to see the country. He and his wife, Rhonda, are traveling around for the tour in a camper. While their mobile home does not rise to Loretta Lynn-style luxury, it does have two bathrooms and a full kitchen.

“It’s a great way to see the country and you meet a lot of great people,” he added.

Jennifer DiNoia plays Elphaba in Wicked

Wicked main cast Jennifer DiNoia, who plays Elphaba, talks about green makeup, vocal rest and being awkward – Here is the interview:

Jennifer DiNoia remembers the first time she heard “Defying Gravity.”

“I always thought of myself as a dancer who could sing. At that moment, I heard ‘Defying Gravity’ and I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, this is amazing. This role is the biggest, the best female role you could play,’” she said.

A decade later, DiNoia is portraying Elphaba all over the world, including when the tour stops at Kalamazoo’s Miller Auditorium from April 24 through May 5.

DiNoia is the one of several Elphabas to follow 2004 Tony Award-winner Idina Menzel’s portrayal. DiNoia said it’s a challenge to live up to Menzel.

“It gets a little difficult when people start writing things about you online, but I try to stay away from much of it as I can, because I don’t want to get into my head what people think. I want to stay true to who I am. Obviously, I’ve learned from other Elphabas, but I like to make it my own at the same time. I’m proud of that,” she said.

DiNoia has been with the production for seven years, she said. She’s played Elphaba in Broadway, Chicago, Australia and South Korea companies. This is her first turn playing Elphaba as the lead. This tour finds DiNoia paying especially close attention to her health, she said.

“I’m definitely super cautious about everything I do with my voice and everything. I’m drinking more tea and definitely trying to stay quiet when I’m not at the show, the vocal rest kind of thing. I’m trying to stay healthy and take my multi-vitamins,” she said.
