Posted: 7/8/13 at 10:47amSince Wicked-mania is starting to slow, why wait for the show to close before reviving it? Get a new director (Diane Paulus!) and "revive" the show while it's still running on Broadway! Imagine Wicked with a Circus theme! EVERYONE would come see it (again)! And Lea Michelle could play Elphaba and finally win that Tony!

Posted: 7/8/13 at 11:00amLea would make a wonderful Dr. Dillamond. She already has some of the hair for it.

Posted: 7/8/13 at 11:11amI heard a rumor that the person playing Elphaba has played Elphaba before. I'm cool so I hear rumors about things like this. I don't just make them up in my head to sound knowledgable. Really, I don't. This is a real legitimate rumor that I didn't start, but heard from someone else. I'm not a troll.
#8Wicked Revival
Posted: 7/8/13 at 11:12amIt's not true until somebody posts it on facebook.
#10Wicked Revival
Posted: 7/8/13 at 11:15amI'll post it on facebook but I can't say who my source is who told me that the person playing Elphaba has played Elphaba before since my source is TOP. SECRET. and I can't betray their trust. I'm not a troll making stuff up.

Jordan, "get the hell off my thread"
Also. What will the REVIVED show curtain look like?
#12Wicked Revival
Posted: 7/8/13 at 11:26amI heard a rumor it will be green. I can't give away my source because they trust me and since it's a real person and not just something I'm making up to appear knowledgable about something I really want to appear knowledgable about so please don't ask me where I got my information because I WILL. NOT. tell you so please stop asking me because I am not a troll.

"NeNe Leakes but Samantha Barks"
OH EM GEE.
Heather Morris has G(a)linda and Naya Rivera as Elphaba. Can we get Idina to play Madame Morrible? And Taye Diggs as The Wizard? Please?

Naya, yes. I would love to see that! Heather, not so much - I don't fancy seeing Glinda doing all sorts of crazy Beyonce dances on stage everytime there's a dance break....

I heard they are bringing in Lord Andrew Llyod Webber to add new music to this classic score. He is even giving Elphaba a new song in Act II called "Red Shoe Blues."
To cast Glinda he is having a singing reality show, and he plans to lower all of the keys so that Madonna can star as The Wizard. Mandy Patinkin has signed on as Madame Morrible.
This revival will run for decades!

"Get a new director (Diane Paulus!)..."
Will there be audience interaction? Maybe we'll get up onstage at the end of the show and dance?

Elphaba: Patti Lupone
Glinda: Lilla Crawford.
Madame Morrible: Barbra Streisand's Nose.
Fiyero: Pink.
Wizard: Me.
This revival is clearly going to be the cat's pajamas. It might even run longer than the Seussical Revival...maybe...
