I love WICKED and I just thought that it'd be perfect if only Linda Eder and Liz Callaway were younger, to play Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. And oh, Mary Testa (if given that she's a liltle bit older) as Morrible.
So, who's on your mind?

In my mind, WICKED would shrivel up and disappear from existence. Along with the other tons of WICKED casting threads that we already have.

THREADJACK!
When I saw the thread title I had a very disturbing thought come to mind.
Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen as Elphaba and G(a)linda

Posted: 4/17/06 at 9:43amOff topic: last night I was watching West Wing and a friend walked in. Chenoweth, or K-Chen, as I like to call her, spoke and my friend said, "WHOA! What is that voice about???" She had this look on her face that was a cross between horror and disgust. It was greaat.

Posted: 4/17/06 at 9:52amYep, didn't think of Alice Ripley, yeah yeah - she'd be perfect wether Glinda or Elphaba.

alice ripley isn't too old to play Elphaba now...
but judy kuhn or betty buckly and patty choenhour or rebecca luker as elphaba and glinda are my votes.

That picture is the scariest thing I've ever seen...

Ahhh My scariest thought is Barbara Cook as Glinda.
Even scarier...Elaine Stritch as Elphaba! But I would pay top dollar to see that!

Elaine Stritch as Galinda and Harvey Fierstein.
That would make a great FB number.
LOL.
And Elaine could interupt the number and say i'm still here.
And Harvey could say, oy Elaine don't do Follies we are in Wicked now.

Posted: 4/17/06 at 1:39pmtom- i come on this website and read people bashing wicked all the time, which makes me mad, but i get over it. however, i WILL NOT STAND for someone bashing kristin chenoweth. that girl is more talented than the rest of the world combined, and her high pitched squeaky voice just makes her more unique!

I wouldn't want her to play Elphaba but I'd kill to hear Patti sing "Defying Gravity".
What about Marin Mazzie? She could play both roles simulatenously lol.

If Wicked premiered in the 1960's, perfect casting would be:
Barbra Streisand as Elphaba
Julie Andrews as Glinda
No two people would have been able to sing the score better ever.

Sing with me, people:
We're not gonna take it!
NO! We ain't gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it, ANYMORE!
Ya know, come to think of it, Kristin might have been perfect had she been a little younger. (adjusts halo)
What about Ethel Merman as Elphaba and Paul Lynde as Glinda?

I really dislike Patti Lupone. Thought her performance in Sweeney was dreadful. She was out of character half the time, and lost the complete essence of the character. So, no I would not like to see her do wicked.
Now, Marin Mazzie would be amazing at either roles!
And Rachel York as Glinda!
Hmmm, and what about Audra McDonald as Elphaba. I could see it!
