Oh man, James Marsden would be great as Fiyero. I really like the younger/older casting. I think it will be interesting to see the show more accurately. It's always been hard for me to tell how long has passed between the 2 acts and it would be clearer with 2 different actors.

Kristen Bell has zero star quality. Not to say she can't sing and dance, she just doesn't have IT, and never will. Actually Amanda Seyfried is auditioning for the part in cinemas around the world as you read this.

Please not Rachey Ray. I can't stand to listen to her speak, let alone sing. Could you imagine??

Why are images not working on this? I found pictures that showed how similar they are. Damn =(

This is based mostly on looks, but it could work:

Young Elphaba: Lea Michelle.
Older Elphaba: Idina Menzel.

Young Glinda: Hayden Panettiere.
Older Glinda: Kristen Chenoweth.

Young Fiyero: Zac Efron.
Older FIyero: James Marsden. Updated On: 7/21/08 at 05:24 PM

You forgot EVOO too

Can we not just go back down the old hollywood route where big names were cast and their singing voices were dubbed? It's fine getting great actors for these parts, but I'm kinda getting tired of weak vocal performances in movie musicals.

Sorry, but Hayden is a TERRIBLE singer. Amanda Seyfried is okay but not good enough for Galinda.

I miss the days of dubbing, too. Even if it was sort of a sneaky business.

I only picked Hayden because she was the only short blonde girl who looked like Cheno, could sing and has a 'name'.

It's harder than you think haha

Ugg, Hayden annoys me.... I don't know why but she just does :-/

Terri Hatcher as elphaba

"Amanda Seyfried is okay but not good enough for Galinda."

Actually she seems to be not good for YOU. In the real world, "Mamma Mia" is a smash and Amanda has gotten across the board raves. People are falling in love with her.

In the real world, she has a breathy voice that could not handle Galinda's high notes.

It'd be Emmy Rossum in Phantom all over again.

I wouldn't mind Amanda as Glinda... she's not my first choice but I think that she would be good in the role.

I love Amanda's singing voice, but I think her vibrato is a bit much. Otherwise, I think she'd make a fabulous Glinda.

[SporkGoddess]

Posted: 7/21/08 at 8:29pm

Her vibrato is fast and uncontrolled because of her lack of breath control and proper support.

She's a great actress, but she doesn't have the vocal chops for Galinda, at least not at this point.

No, not at this point, I agree. If she works on it, she could be pretty good.
