Who played Glinda in wicked for the longest?

While there isn't an official record for the *longest* run as Glinda in *Wicked*, Kristin Chenoweth holds the record for the longest initial run in the Broadway production. She originated the role and played it for over two years, from October 2003 to May 2005.

It's worth noting that:

* Many actresses have played Glinda over the years, both on Broadway and in various touring productions.

* Some actresses have had longer stints in the role than others, but keeping track of individual runs across multiple productions is difficult.

* The "longest run" could be interpreted in various ways (initial run, longest consecutive run, total time spent in the role, etc.).

Therefore, while Chenoweth's initial run is the longest on Broadway, it's hard to definitively say who has played Glinda for the *longest* overall.
