seems weird to change the date after they’ve been advertising it for like 5 years now

What is weird about it? Movies change release dates all of the time, especially this fare in advance. They don’t want to compete with, what will most definitely, be a four quadrant hit with Avatar 3.

I remember seeing Star Wars Last Jedi before Christmas and seeing the Greatest Showman after.

Then again, we still have yet to see a theatrically released movie musical do well at the box office in a post-COVID world. In the Heights, Dear Evan Hansen, West Side Story, and Cyrano all flopped. Granted, each of those were released before the movie theater business was eventually fully restored. At the same time, it probably is a better idea to have Wicked: Part One out before Avatar 3 (potentially) dominates the box office.

It's crazy Cynthia doesn't have any green left over from the shoot on her body like the girls do on Broadway.

What?

I understand that the Broadway actors often have hints of green when they leave the theater due to the quick showers they take after the show, but...

what?

Can I just say that I've had enought of these click-bate news bulletins popping up? Yes, while a picture of the trailers, or sky, or whatever are technically "pictures from the set", they are not the pictures from the set I want.

Do we still not have a Dr. Dillamond? 

I am not familiar with the book, but is that character cut? Is that possible?

Chu confirmed via Twitter back in December that the character will be included but that they weren’t announcing casting yet.

I heard a TERRIFYING rumor that Dillamond will be played by Idina Menzel. It's so absurd and wrong I almost believe it. I am hoping it is not true.

And I’ve heard it’s Beanie Feldstein… 

This won’t happen. It’s likely a very minimum role in the 2 films.

Not that I want this to be case at all, but I'm sure I've seen something worse. It's also 99.99% likely not true, so there's that.

I always figured Lin would be Dillamond. He and Chu are past collaborators and, in my opinion, it would actually be a good role for him. But maybe the delay implies someone bigger and/or less obvious. I have also heard the Idina rumor, but that would be so weird.

I obviously have no clue what they're doing, but I have wondered if they tried to get Liza Minnelli for a cameo/small role.

You obviously haven’t seen the physical shape Liza is in. I’m baffled how many people still think she’s in her Sally Bowles era unaware of her physical and vocal limitations she’s dealing with now.

Lorna Luft, possibly. Liza Minelli, unlikely.

They've been filming for over four months now. Expected to last until July.

Dillamond is most likely a mo-cap character and holding out for a name to do the voice
