In The Heights and Wicked are just totally different beasts. One is so realistic. The other a complete fantasy world. Just curious how it translate.

Since Wicked has a lot more fantastical elements than most musicals, I imagine that post production will begin sometime in 2022 and that will give the SFX team a lot more time to make it look really good. Universal might release it sometime during 2023, the 20th anniversary of the show.
What I am excited about is the casting.

Halloween 2023 is perfect. Halloween is when the Broadway production opened in 2003

The rumor mill has it that Dove Cameron will be announced soon.

Dove Cameron, along with a few other women, participated in meetings yesterday to chat with and sing for the creative team. It's my understanding they won't cast the two leading ladies for a few more weeks as they continue to meet with candidates.

Dove is attached to The CW's Powerpuff Girls. She won't be available.

This is at least framed as reliable intel; thanks for sharing. We'll see what happens...
I know there's been some Erivo-bashing on another thread today, but she would really be perfect for Elphie and just enough of a name value. Tho 34 is a little long in the tooth to be playing high schoolers, if Chu is going for naturalism.

One of the other lead actresses already dropped out recently, could happen with Cameron too. Even if that doesn’t happen, the apparent behind the scenes trouble may mean that the show will be in a production pause for long enough that she could shoot something else.

Dove said she doesn't intend to vacate the role of Bubbles.

Eh, it's easy to say that until she has an actual choice to make. Would you rather play the lead in one of the most anticipated musical films of one of the longest running Broadway show or... *check papers* a Powerpuff Girl?

Pretty sure Powerpuff Girls has a wider appeal than a movie musical.

Dove as Glinda also feels a little too safe of a choice.

I mean the Powerpuff Girls is a very popular cartoon, but given this upcoming series has almost exclusively bad press, ignoring another big opportunity that could get you out of it would be a poor decision.

The Powerpuff Girls? Sure. The grown-up, live-action, CW PowerPuff Girls? Different story

Oh, really? It would be nice if those of you who post statements like this with absolute certainty also back it up with the source. Where did this come from? Was it an interview? A news article? Did she tell you over an iced vanilla latte at Starbucks?
Because all it is at this point is a sentence you chose to type out on an internet message board.

This movie will reunite Chu with his In the Heights cinematographer Alice Brooks.
