Random Wicked Casting Thought (about the Stage Musical, Not the Tentative Movie)#1

It just occurred to me while rewatching Mean Girls, Amy Poehler could quite possibly make the best Glinda ever for comedic performance at least, aside from Kendra of course, and if she had a soprano voice. ...I'm pretty sure she doesn't though... ha!

First off... there is NO 'tentative' movie in the works for WICKED: The Musical.

Secondly, at 37, Amy Poehler can still pull-off Glinda, but her approach to her material stems firmly into comedy. Though she CAN sing, her range is limited and not anywhere near the requirements for Glinda.

Kristen Chenoweth is the "best Glinda ever" no matter how you want to slice the pie.

there is not a movie "Planned" but Schwartz and Kristen have hinted at it namely Kristen saying she would like to play Glinda in the movie

^ Well, I'd like to play Elphaba in the movie. Does that mean we're one step closer to making the movie?
