Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:00pmWhy wouldn't it be true? It's a legit newspaper.

#2re: Jayne Wisener as Johanna? Is it true?
Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:00pmNo its not true. That girl just made it up and told all the British press that she's doing the movie. Everyone knows Johanna is being played by Barbara Cook.

Excuse me, it's the Irish press.
They were probably drunk.

If this is true. Thank God she is close to the proper age for Johanna.
Now let's hope our Anthony and Toby are cast the same way - age wise.

Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:07pmso, this paper is not a reliable source? just thought I'd ask, I'm not trying to be gossip-y. She really just told these people she was doing it? How lame

She's playing the role. All the leads have been cast.
EDIT: Let me rephrase: initial offers for all the leads have gone out. Whatever that's worth in Hollywood.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:12pmuhm, Toby?
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

At least partially - there was talk that the Beggar Woman had been offered to a slightly more well known name and that LMK was only playing Lucy in flashbacks.
There was also talk that Anthony was offered to a name, but that he turned it down due to schedule conflicts.
I imagine a full cast list will be coming out soon.
EDIT: It was Anthony offered to a name - not Toby. Toby is a kid.

- That actually sounds like it will really work. Hopefully the real Beggar Woman will have an older more neurotic look.
#14re: Jayne Wisener as Johanna? Is it true?
Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:29pmWell the woman they supposedly offered to is definitely neurotic...

Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:40pmTony Winner but also has a film career.
#17re: Jayne Wisener as Johanna? Is it true?
Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:41pm
Oooooh. Exciting. Can't wait to find out who it is.
Is Anthony going to be another unknown?
#18re: Jayne Wisener as Johanna? Is it true?
Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:45pmI'm not sure who the second choice is. It seems like they would want to have at least one other name in the cast...
#19re: Jayne Wisener as Johanna? Is it true?
Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:46pmBig film career? Household name?

#20re: Jayne Wisener as Johanna? Is it true?
Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:51pmI wouldn't say she has a big film career though I guess she's a movie star of sorts. And no I dont think most households would know who she is.
#21re: Jayne Wisener as Johanna? Is it true?
Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:54pmWas the show she won a Tony for a musical?

I mean, there is the obvious. But, perhaps not. The obvious hasn't done a feature in a while.

#23re: Jayne Wisener as Johanna? Is it true?
Posted: 12/29/06 at 9:02pmIm not sure who the obvious person is! She was on screen last year. She's not best known for musicals.

Posted: 12/29/06 at 9:02pm
Oh. Then it's not the obvious neurotic one. 
I'll keep thinking.
