Thank you for your response. I had checked and checked again both sites you mentioned. I'm still only seeing, in the breakdown, mention of Young Fiona and Princess Fiona not Teen Fiona. Maybe I'm still not looking in the right place. Thanks for your help.

I believe you're right, its not listed. Not sure why. Perhaps Princess Fiona will also play Teen Fiona? Productions are always trying to save money by not hiring as many actors. That is why all ensemble members must also understudy principal roles, usually.

I remember 20 years ago when tourisng shows traveled with a full orchestra. Not anymore.

I noticed this too. I have a feeling that they will use a small adult for teen fiona. They do this alot for tours. For Grinch last year, the taller Whos were played by adults, I believe. This is all just a guess.

Looks like from the cast list of the Broadway production, Tessa Albertson age 13 is playing Teen Fiona.

Sometimes tours have a smaller cast which means more ensemble members play more roles thus saving more money. My friend has been in the tour of Wicked for 5 years. All Emsemble members, male and female have to understaudy a principal role.

That is why most tours do not have a full orchestra. Perhaps a five piece on tour compared to a 20 piece on Broadway.
