Posted: 2/12/08 at 5:10amLOL, Urban in that case the casting is right, but for all the wrong reasons.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 2/12/08 at 7:11amWhat a disgraceful decision. How can you say that casting 2 ex-Australian Idol contestants from a few years ago could possibly bring in large crowds? I don't think Rob Mills was a major drawcard even in his 'heyday'. But now?!?!

While I don't doubt Rob's AI experience hasn't hurt his exposure to the powers that be, I'd hardly call him stunt casting. I hardly see a rush of teeneybopper fans throwning their knickers on the stage like they'd do with say Dean Geyer. His time in the National Spotlight was too long ago and he has been too overshadowed by everybody else (half of that shadow being Casey Donovan) to be really a draw card.
And I hate to point it out, if Rob Mills is stunt casting, so is Maggie Kirkpatrick (God it hurts me to even say that!).
I swear I maybe his one defender on this board. Oh well.

El-fay-bar? Oh dear. Thanks for that link viola13.
I have to admit I am a little over most Australian news sites simply stating wicked witch/good witch - the entire point of the show is the turn the preconceptioins of good & wicked on their head!

I can't play that video for some reason! Every time I click on the link another video plays instead. It is driving me insane!
By the way I just wanted to again mention how much of a tool I think John Frost is for casting not one but TWO ex-Australian Idol finalists. Anthony Callea fine. Rob Mills NOT FINE!!!!
