Does anyone realize that when a musical is being talked about made into a movie it takes several years???
When and If they do decide to make Wicked into a movie, Kristin and Idina may be too old to be in it (Unless they get doubles to play them while they are in school).

When the revival of Chicago first opened on Broadway, not many people were even aware of Catherine Zeta-Jones.
I could go on and on...
Truth is, don't hold your breathe for a movie...

Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
