Lea Michele as Elphaba- Page 3

Granted Lea Michele is probably considered too popular to take the role -

I definitely see her as more of a Nessarose than an Elphaba.

Maybe that's just me, but I see the younger and innocent quality coming out of Lea. She would sit nicely against the more mature yet gawky characterization Elphaba tends to have.

Too popular by whose standards?

Too popular to take a role? That doesn't make sense.

I honestly feel like she has better things to do than be a replacement in Wicked. Not that Wicked isn't a wildly popular show, and Elphaba is certainly an incredible part vocally. And there's nothing wrong with being a replacement- AMAZING actresses have stepped into that role(And might I add with better performances than Idina). But I don't know why she would go to the Gershwin to be a replacement in a show that's been running 5 years when she's already working on much more interesting projects- Like "Nero" for Duncan Sheik.

Simply meant she's got the star power for a role like Elphaba, but she's more suited character wise for Nessarose.

So sorry - should have been more specific.

All I was trying to say was that I don't know if its a perfect fit for her. I can see her in Nessarose pretty perfectly. I do think she does have far better things to do than that as well.

Legally Popular-
Leigh Ann Larkin is way to talented to become the next Galinda robot in McWicked. There is no art in Wicked anymore it is a corperation not theatre.
