Maybe both of them should actually learn how to sing first.

Yes, they'll need to learn how to do that...and maybe they should get people that can actually act? And sing? And maybe look the part. Green makeup on Britney Spears? I've said enough...
Seriously, could you see Britney Spears singing "Defying Gravity" or Hilary Duff hitting those notes in "No One Mourns the Wicked"? Nope.

Brit needs some hair to play Elphaba, and talent, of course.

The movie is going to made, but not for another two years or so. It's a bit too early to talk casting. Universal just brought the option back up and put in an order for several spec scripts. While development seems to be moving, I don't think anything substancial will come of it for a while longer.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Excuse while I go throw up in the bathroom...
When they do turn it into a movie, I hope they do what RENT did and bring back as much of the original cast as possible...

...right, because those original principle cast members could so pass for college students on film.

Wicked is such a popular name it doesn't need any stars

purpleprince101, they'll need stars to sell tickets to a film version. Expect people like Reese Witherspoon (whose already expressed interest to Marc Platt) to be cast.

The only person i can see for glinda is Reese and Cheno. But they probally do need a name.

The only way Kristin Chenoweth will get cast in the movie is to play Glinda's mom in a flashback scene which shows the audience how not raise children.
And are you some kind of psychic? How can you "see" Reese in a role she's never stepped near?

I was just thinking yesterday that Emmy Rossum would make a good Nessarose if they made a movie.

Except even Nessa needs someone with acting abilities to play her. :P

The only casting I am really die hard for seeing is Judi Dench as Morrible. Not a lot of singing needed, which is handy, and I love seeing her as viscious women.

I never said that Emmy was amazing in POTO, she wasn't. Her voice is much better suited for Nessarose though.

i would pay money to see Britany Spears play Elphaba, i would die of laughter! but at the same time it would totally ruin the actual show

I guess I'm the only one who likes Emmy Rossum.
I think she could play Elphaba. It'll never happen, but I would like to see it anyway.
