I’m really disappointed that people are judging this casting when they haven’t even gone into rehearsals yet? When the only thing that we know is casting and no one on this board even works on the movie, so how can anyone know how these ladies will do in the roles? Be positive. Have some faith. Give them a goddamn chance. Also, let it go about Dove Cameron. It’s not like there aren’t productions all over the world, and what if she went to one of those? The West End, tour, Broadway…also did she even want the role or was it just fan dream casting? Just saying. Give them a chance."

People can say and feel whatever they want. They don't have to be positive. They don't need to have faith or give them a "goddamn chance". People can do whatever they want and all opinions are valid. Stop trying to control people on the internet for the billionth time. And demanding people "stop acting so superior" is literally you doing the same thing.

I'll be surprised if James Corden doesn't play The Wizard.

Well, he would be wonderful. But I think he'll be doing a play on the West End during filming. Unless the movie is being shot in the UK."

It’s already been reported the movie is shooting in the UK.

Not to mention that the play Taron Egerton is gonna be doing with Jonathan Bailey, Cock, will be running from March 5th-June 4th. Wicked doesn't begin shooting until June.

OK, that's insane logic. You think Elphaba stayed back 16 years to wait for Nessa? I hope they just cast Fiyero, Nessa, Boq, and all the background actors to match these two. Just go back to Grease rather than Dear Evan Hansen it.

I agree with the person who described Cynthia's voice as being a bit too light compared to the nasal belt of most Elphabas but I'm hoping for the best. At least they can both hit all the notes even if the interpretation of the songs will probably be different from what we're used to.

Why is this so accurate? I'm hoping that whatever the casting for Fiyero, Morrible, the Wizard, etc. it at least sticks to some out of the box thinking and not just another assemblage of actors that feels like The Prom. It's not like Emma Thompson, Bernadette Peters, and other suggested actors are unknown but... you know.

Then letting people have an opinion also applies to me. So don’t tell me what to say or try to control what I post :)

This took me a second, but then I laughed out loud and wanted it at the same time. Why don’t movie musicals use that man?

Brilliant and hilarious. Posts like this are exactly what that "thumbs up" button are for. I wish I had more than one Like to give.
