Roscioli Returning to Broadway

Dee Roscioli will return to the role of Elphaba in the Broadway production of “Wicked” when it appears at the Gershwin Theatre in July. Roscioli made her Broadway debut after playing the role of Elphaba for the finale two years of the musical’s Chicago production; she has also starred as Grizabella in the national tour of “Cats” and the NYSF Workshops of “Dangerous Beauty” and “Behind the Limelight.” The principal cast also includes Alli Mauzey as Glinda, Rondi Reed as Madame Morrible, PJ Benjamin as the Wizard, Kevin Kern as Fiyero, Alex Brightman as Boq, Cristy Candler as Nessarose and Timothy Britten Parker as Dr. Dillamond.

The Gershwin Theater has a Theater Hall of Fame painted inside a rotunda in the lobby and is an exclusive Broadway theater for large musicals. Such past productions (though Wicked has been on Broadway since October 2003) includes Defying Inequality: The Broadway Concert, Something Good: A Broadway Salute to Richard Rodgers on his 100th Birthday, Oklahoma!, Riverdance on Broadway and Tango Argentino.
