Umm, what is the point of this? What is your basis on casting those people?
it looks like you just picked all of your favorite celebs. Most of these people don't even sing. :)

Trust me - those aren't my favorite celebs. And I think those people could do those parts.
The "point of this" is to post people you think would be good for the parts of Wicked.

So your ideal casting for Wicked is with Angelina Jolie and Drew Barrymore? I hope you are talking about a non-musical film version.
There are so many things wrong with this, but.....Julia Roberts as Angelina's younger sister?

"Boq: Ashton Kutcher
Standby: Orlando Bloom
Understudy: Matt Damon "
Ashton Kutcher is over 6 feet tall.

What is the point of casting WICKED as a film version with a understudy and standby?

I hope we are to assume you are casting the Tom Cruise of 10 or so yrs ago, not the crazy guy who jumps on couches and buys fake babies...

Glinda: Carol Channing
Fiyero: Robert Goulet
Morrible: Sutton Foster
Wizard: Adam Pascal

actor - Well since your ideal Morrible would probably be like, Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, Sutton Foster is a much better choice.

Interesting that you all are so bitchy about my choice of cast considering the point of the game was to use famous people to make a cast list for Wicked. Go take a walk or something.

But your casting makes no sense at all. It seems like you put the names of celebrities into a hat and picked them out and thats who you cast in each role. What is your reason for casting each person?

I cast each character based on ACTING.
Elphaba: Angelina Jolie - she has character and would be funny in parts like "well we cant all come and go by bubble"
Glinda: Drew Barrymore - she'd go perfectly with Angelina and, in my opinion, is actually an excellent choice for Glinda. She could definitely pull off being funny.
Fiyero: Brad Pitt - well....this was a bit of a stretch...but I think he'd go well with Angelina. Also, I can visualize him being rolled in with sunglasses (in the scene that Fiyero is introduced in).
Boq: Ashton Kutcher - I wasn't aware that he was 6 feet tall but...his face looks like Boq's face and would be funny. If I had a choice, I would revise this part and change Boq to Tom Cruise because Tom Cruise is short enough to be this part. Also, Tom would definitely be funny.
Nessarose: Julia Roberts - I can visualize Julia as Nessa because I think she would do well complaining and being the jerk that Nessa is.

If your cast was for a movie version, then fine. Broadway, then never.
