For me, I would love to see Jennifer Hudson's take on Elphaba. Her voice would be absolutely killer for her, but she'd have to tone it down when she does multiple shows. But just imagine her belt, which is already so powerful in that song, and all the things she can do!!!!!!

Galinda...it's hard for me because I haven't seen too many sopranos.

Hudson doesn't have the right range or stamina to play Elphie. If you'd take the time to actually listen to her overall range, you'd know that. Just because she can belt (improperly) doesn't make her right for the role.

I vote for Stritch. Would love to see her take on the role.

South Fl Marc I was gonna say that and you beat me to it!

I'd like to see Lady GaGa as Elphaba and Britney Spears as Glinda.

Or if that doesn't work out, maybe Amy Winehouse and Madonna.

Hahaha. All of these are great!

On a serious note though...

I would love to see Kristen Bell (sp?) play Glinda. I think she'd be great. Perhaps Lea Salonga as Elphaba? Idk. Anyone new would be great. I loved when they brought in Nicole Parker. She was someone fresh and new (and fantastic).

arts, I would have to imagine that the cherry picker would get stuck pretty much every night with that casting.

How about Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselback? Doesn't matter which role either takes.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.

Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig, with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Willem Dafoe at matinees.

Alternating.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Glinda: Bernadette Peters
Elphaba: Patti LuPone

If I absouletly HAD to go with someone ago appropriate, I'd suggest Diana DeGarmo for Elphaba.

Galinda: Gavin Creel
Elphaba: Will Swenson

...and they'll lead the cast members up the aisles in the theater burning draft cards during "Defying Gravity".

Hmmm...Defying Gravity done in the nude? The lyrics would certainly take on new meaning.
