Dear God I hope Taylor Dayne never plays Elphaba.

Taylor Dayne is actually a great singer...I think she would do a kick ass rendition of Defying Gravity. I'm not sure how her acting is...

And Deborah Gibson as Glinda? Love her as a performer, but could she even hit the notes? She'd make a better Nessa Rose.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

I saw Taylor Dayne as Animeris (sp?) and I thought she was horrible. Her voice wasn't good at all, but her acting was passable.

Are you kidding? Wanye Brady as the Wizard? And how would he be related to Elphaba? A brother?

Debbie Gibson - I'm sure she'd love to do it but I doubt she'd be cast.

Wayne - I know, he's young, but I like him and wanted him to be included somehow. I suppose he could do Fieyero.

Does anyone know officially who all has auditioned for this show? I know they don't publisize those things. I'd love to see a list or be a fly on the wall in the casting office...


Kelly Clarkson would be an AMAZING Elphaba - but she's clearly got other things going on.

Reese- can't sing

Taylor- I LOVED her as Amneris, but she probably won't play elphaba...

awkward.

I think Wayne Brady would do better as Fiyero, not the Wizard...

What the puck?!
