Elphaba: Liz Gillies, JoJo, Sia, Haven Burton! Tori Kelly would be a great choice too, if she can act.
Glinda: Ariana Grande. Just get the girl some acting lessons and she'd be stellar. Not sure why people think she should play Elphaba.
Fiyero: Brendon Urie (maybe a tad too old, though), Darren Criss, Jelani Aladdin, Isaac Powell, Harry Styles.
Boq: Daniel Radcliffe, Ben Platt, Jason Eric Testa, Andrew Feldman.
Madame Morrible: Bette Midler, Glenda Jackson, Cicely Tyson.

After seeing Rocketman, Taron Egerton would do Fiyero justice.

Been thinking, Patricia Quinn maybe as Morrible. (Magenta from Rocky Horror)

I don't even want this movie to happen in the slightest but Darren Criss as Boq and Anna Kendrick as Nessa if it has to happen.
Anyone think JoJo could be a good Elphaba? She has an insane vocal range and lots of prior acting experience. I think she was in the Jawbreaker workshop a few years ago.

She can't act her way out of a paper bag. This would be beyond needing lessons. Would you recommend a great actress for this part and then say "just get her some singing lessons"? No.

I mean... Hollywood would. Look at the majority of modern musical films.
