Wicked the movie! — Page 2

"...were all based on movies. But not Avenue Q!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO "

No. *That* was based on a children's TV show.

Strangely enough, the Henson folks are actually okay with it. I think at one point they asked that Trekkie monster look less like Cookie Monster, but that's about it.

Don't forget pitch correction and other fun electronic methods of making mediocre singers sound good. :)

FORGET big name hollywood actresses (and actors) for movie-musicals. If you're gonna do it, do it right! Get the FANTASTIC broadway actresses that will blow audience's minds... not half-talented actresses that might make producer's an extra buck. Am I the only one who thought CHICAGO, the movie version, could have been even better (if it were cast with TRUE, HARD-CORE talent)? Am I the only one? I mean, the movie was OK... and I'm REALLY glad that people appreciated musicals again! But... I don't know...
(Example: Julie Andrews was originally Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady on stage. She wasn't a big name screen actress yet, so Hollywood cast Audrey Hepburn in the role. Hepburn couldn't sing it, so she had voice overs for all her songs. Same thing with Natalie Wood in West Side Story. Knowing that it's not them really singing ruins it for me... knowing that Hollywood is a sell-out ruins it for me!)
If they are gonna do it right, I'd LOVE to see more movie-musicals! I LOVE musicals, but I don't want to see them get butchered on screen.
WICKED, a movie? I'm PRAYING they get Idina and Kristin!
