Ideal movie-musical casts

I thought it would be a good idea to do something like this.

I have a couple of them:

Wicked
Galinda Upland/Glinda the Good...Kristin Chenoweth
Elphaba "Elphie" Thropp/The Wicked Witch of the West...Idina Menzel
Madame Morrible...Dame Judi Dench (maybe dubbed by Marni Nixon)
Fiyero...Ewan McGregor
Nessarose...can't think of anyone
Boq...Elijah Wood (don't know if he can sing though)
Doctor Dillamond...can't think of anyone here
The Wizard...Joel Grey

Hairspray
Tracy...Kelly Osbourne
Edna...Harvey Feirstein
Wilbur...Billy Crystal
(and that's all I can think up)

---

I can see eveyone that jasobres said, excpet Kelly Osbourne as Tracy.

And I don't know Last 5 Years..

I want to see John Goodman as Edna pronto!!!

---

Too masculine.

Catherine Zeta Jones or Vanessa Williams as the Spider Woman in Kiss of the Spider Woman....and also cast...Hugh Jackman or Patrick Wilson as Molina. Chita Rivera could play Molina's mother. Anyone as Marta...it could be Emmy Rossum.

---

Oh I'd love Patrick Wilson as Molina, especially if they reveal a lot of his naked body in the sex scene at the end of the show, that'd be heaven. Sorry,lol.
Cabaret remake more faithful to the original show:
Sally-Catherine Z. Jones, Natasha Richardson, Brooke Shields
Clifford-Matt Damon
MC-Hugh Jackman

---

WOW, that's like the best casting choice for an MC after Joel Grey,lol.

---

me as Cathy and Norbert Leo Butz as Jamie.

I think if they did Wicked: the musical as a movie (though I'd much rather see a movie based on the novel because the novel is kickass) I don't think Idina and Kristin should play those parts. They're way too old for it to be realistic. Unless they found young actresses who look just like them to play them as students. Though that would be bizarre and really hard to do. For some reason I can't get Mischa Barton out of my head for Elphaba just because she has the body type and facial structure I pictured the book's Elphaba to look like. Though I wouldn't want her in the movie musical. So I'm not very helpful.

BEST. IDEA. EVER, BSoBW2!

OOOOH.. I would love Johnny Depp as the Emcee. That would be HOT!! Who would be his Sally Bowles? I am drawing a blank. I saw it with Susan Egan, but she doesn't really have any recognition outside of the theater community. Someone once mentioned Renee Zelwegger, but I am not sure how I feel about that

---

P.S. (as a cheesy commercial announcer) But wait! There's MORE! You could EVEN say that about the cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."

P.P.S. I finally figured out who could play Nessa and Dillamond in the movie of Wicked:

Nessarose...Jenna Leigh Green
Dr. Dillamond...William Youmans (can't actually see anyone else playing that part because he was so humorous with that "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad."
