With the Covid-19 surge disrupting numerous Broadway productions, former Elphaba understudy Carla Stickler stepped in to save the day.
Carla Stickler had been working as a software engineer in Chicago when she got the call last weekend to fill in for one of the lead roles in the musical "Wicked" -- Elphaba. Though she had spent years performing on Broadway as an understudy in the role, she hadn't done the show in seven years.
Still, she flew to New York so that the show could go on.
