Glee to Perform Wicked - on stage and screen

Apparently, it's a fundraiser, but Ryan Murphy has secured the rights to produce/direct Wicked for one weekend in August using his Glee cast. A video will then be screened in movie theatres for one night - followed by the DVD release.
Who gets what role still is as up in the air as Elphaba is at the end of Act I.
While a good idea, I think this could really damage the cast chemistry as they fight/argue/beg for specific roles.

and yes, this is an April Fool's announcement.

Too bad it's a joke. Glee and Wicked would be PERFECT for each other.
