Has the Broadway play have an AA actress or have they all been white?

Please don’t start this shite. The witch is literally green, why would the race of the actress matter at all?

Wicked has had runs on and off Broadway since the early 00s. There’s been a wide range of women who have played Elphaba. Alexia Khadime played her in the UK I believe.

They've all been green.

I'm not sure if a black actress has played Elphaba, but when I saw the show on Broadway, a black girl played Glinda and was excellent.

Cynthia Errivo is a seasoned Broadway performer and is more than capable of handling the role. I'm more concerned about Ariana Grande's acting abilities.

I mean, the character is green. Does it really matter for this one? It's not like a black woman portraying a white historical figure.

Aside from looking up the current actress, the only person I can find historically to have played her is Idina Menzel, who is Jewish.

I'm not sure why it matters - the character is GREEN.
