Do it like RENT did...the OBC unless certain cast members are unavailable.

I also think they should make into a TV mini-series of the book. Elphaba-Natalie Portman
Glinda-I'm not sure...someone like Julia Styles maybe?
Fyiero-Jake Gylynhall(sp?)
Morrible-Meryl Streep
Wizard-I'm not sure

I think if you were to make a movie out of the book, you should get Natalie Portman as Elphaba.

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness. Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings. Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end. But end it does. Another part of you vanishes. That's show business."-Anonymous

re: Wicked movie Dream cast.

Maybe they could do somethng different in the movie. Maybe put a twist on it, like having two Glinda's and two Elphaba's. One when they are both young and one when they are older. I think that would be kind of cool.

re: Wicked movie Dream cast.

I think that would be really strange...

but anyway... I liked the Adam Pascal idea. I also thought that the first time I heard Fiyero on the OBC recording... Adam would be great in this role

re: Wicked movie Dream cast.

Well ironically enough, Norbert replaced Adam I believe as Roger in RENT and even before that was an understudy so there you go. Apparently the casting people for RENT saw the similarity in their voices. They do sound very similar and I think Adam could really have fun with the role of Fiyero.

Elphaba: Emmy Rossum

Glinda: Kristen Bell (watch "Reefer Madness")

Fiyero: Timberlake or Usher (someone who can sing, dance and is young)

Wizard: Gary Oldman (yes, he sings)

Morrible: Streep is a good choice but I doubt she'd do it, so I think someone like Tracey Ullman or Queen Latifah

Both Menzel and Chenoweth will be close to forty (if not past it) when they finally film this musical, so they'll go for a much younger cast (they'll go for one anyway; both Menzel and Chenoweth are too old *now*). In five years Rossum will be 23 or 24; Bell will be 29, as will Timberlake (not sure about Usher).

Christina Aguilera would be an awful choice -- her popularity is on the wane, she can't act and she has that "ho" thing to contend with.

"Elphaba: Emmy Rossum"

Her voice can't handle Christine, let alone Elphaba.

"Glinda: Kristen Bell"

Interesting idea.

"Christina Aguilera would be an awful choice -- her popularity is on the wane, she can't act and she has that "ho" thing to contend with."

You've seen her act before? The only thing I've ever seen her in was SNL, and I thought she was damn good.

re: Wicked movie Dream cast.

I like the idea of Natalie Portman playing Elphaba in the non-musical version.

For the musical version:
Elphaba - Anyone but Idina
Glinda - KC
Nessa - Anne Hathaway
Fiyero - Adam Pascal
Dillamond - Joel Grey
Morrible - Meryl Streep
Boq - Elija Wood

"Elphaba - Christina Aguilera (I know many will disagree, but I think she can do this role)"

I haven't seen wicked yet, but I have heard it and I would absolutely love to hear Christina sing the part. Can you imagine her singing Defying Gravity? I would pay good money for that. I don't know if she could handle the acting part of it though, I saw her on SNL and I don't think she did a very good job acting in a few simple sketches. But I also think she could relate to the Elphaba character very well. The whole lonely outcast thing is the whole theme of her last album. but then again by the time a movie gets made she may be to old.

"Elphaba: Emmy Rossum"
As much as i love Emmy, i dont think she would work for the part voice wise, or character wise.
