Wicked’s Shoshana Bean: Since Gwyneth Paltrow left the building last season, McKinley High needs a new substitute teacher. Bean, who has played Elphaba in Wicked and has also been seen in the Tony Award-winning musical Hairspray, possesses just the right amount of pizzazz to stir things up at McKinley when Morrison (who shared the stage with Bean in 2002 when he played Link Larkin) is absent. Not only can she sing the showtunes, but her riff-happy vocals and pop-star quality would succeed when faced with Z100’s playlist. (Have you seen her recent cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep"?)
