I don't think the whole cast is leaving, although Natalie will be, Oli will, and probably Dianne.

The reason they have all the main characters described is so the swings can audition too :)

There are lots of new shows coming into the West End in 2010 and I am sure some of the principals in "Wicked" will be going for the leads.  I am not convinced that Dianne will be leaving just yet though; she has really made the part of Glinda her own. Nevertheless it would be interesting to see the show with a completely new cast. 

What makes you think that Ollie will be leaving??? In all of the 18 shows I have seen he has always played Fiyero-- even the 2 shows I saw with Idina Menzel.  I can't imagine the show without him.   Still he has been at it for over 3 years so I expect he would welcome a change. Luv to all, bonytony.

Nah, I very much doubt the entire cast are leaving. Note that it references to understudies being auditioned too - all it means is that it's likely one of every role's covers is leaving.

Natalie is the only definite leaver thus far.
