Sara Bareilles Wicked?

Has anyone ever considered this? While her acting may need work I think that Sara would make a fantastic film Elphaba, but I am not too sure if she could be able to handle the show eight times a week. I think her rendition of The Wizard and I could be absolutely glorious. For some reason to me, she looks and has the feel of an Elphaba.



What do you all think?

She is a singer songwriter, not a stage actress. She jumped into Waitress because it was her baby and she was great in it. Why would you think someone of her stature would possibly want to be the 34th Elphaba in a show that's been running almost 15 years?

Fair enough. I didn't read through the whole thing.

...college, but your point still holds true.
