For the most part, I would have to say the original cast. Def. Idina as Elphie (she's bound to offered the role). As far as Galinda/Glinda goes, I love Kristen Chenoweth, but I also love Erin Mackey, so either of them. As for the others... I don't care much, that's why I just original cast. I also agree with lovelyspotlight, I think the movie should follow the book more so than the show. The book explains soooo much more, and to be truthfully honest, the musical hardly follows the book at all (not that that takes away from its greatness, because it certainly does not). I think the stage version should be totally left alone. I don't want them messing with it like they did Phantom or anything, no offense to anyone, but I am NOT a Gerard Butler fan. At first I was like, "okay, he's a lttle more of a demanding Phantom... but later it got really old... he's too agressive for the part."
Anyways, my point is this.... Now, since the Phantom film premired that is what Phantom is always asscosiated with,Gerard as the mean demanding Phantom and Emmy Rossum... no one even pays attention to the stage version anymore. I would hate to see that happen to Wicked, simply because it is so brillant.
The should just make a film inspired by the musical that is based off the book, that leans more to the book's perspective if that made any sense.
Okay, I'm through rambling.
