yeah.. about the whole Rosario thing.. I ADORE her, I really really do. I think she is unbelievably talented and gorgeous and a better mimi couldn't have been found for the movie. BUT- broadway... ehh, I dont know, I just think it might be a little too.. big for her. She's just too much of a screen actress... what makes her so amazing is all the LITTLE stuff she does, and the fact that she's NOT overdramatic or anything (not to say anyone in the RENT movie cast was overdramatic, because clearly I love them all to death). Especially for a part like elphaba.. she'd just kind of get lost on the stage I think. All the spark she has on screen would kind of be gone. Elphaba needs to be played by people like idina, and eden too, who just seem to feel the most at home on stage, and light up the stage as much as rosario lights up the screen :P Its just two very different mediums
oh, and as far as the singing goes, I'm.. not really sure. She has an absolutely GORGEOUS voice, but I just dont think its trained enough to belt THAT much for THAT many shows a week. She can def let it rip in a recording studio, but its totally different doing it 8 times a week in a theater. There's a reason the vast majority of broadway people have had at the VERY least SOME training to purposes of learning how to mantain their voice, and most of them have had a lot MORE than that
and have I mentioned Idina's my favorite elphaba? :P hehe
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.
