Would you consider hiring an actress who wears hijab for Elphaba? I’ve also always felt out of place and casting agents never give a second glance to a Muslim woman in headscarf. Heck- I would love a chance to audition for any role!!

Personally I’d find people from Broadway who are struggling due to the pandemic

I would consider casting a younger and older Elphaba and Glinda (ala Queen Elizabeth in “The Crown”). Cast Idina and Kristin as the older counterparts.
