Jessica Vosk owns the role of C.C., fresh off years as Elphaba and Wicked, while Kelly Barrett steps into birdie after playing Lisa Mennelli on TV. And even Nessaro's in Wicked. Young versions of the duo, played by Samantha Schwartz, Zea Grace, Emma Oghia, and Bailey Ryan, pop up throughout, capturing that pure girlhood vibe, with sass and spunk that lights up the first act.
