If you had to see any celeb in wicked who would it be and who would the play
I wouldn't want to see any celebrity in Wicked unless they were up to the very demanding vocals of the two lead roles, particularly Elphaba.

Ugh, there are SO many women who I could see playing Morrible. It's kind of a small part so I can't foresee too many well known actresses taking it on, but I'd love to see Bette, Glenn Close, Liza, Judi Dench, etc.
As for Elphaba, I think they should stick with unknowns. It makes the whole character come alive. If someone famous is up there, I wouldn't really care if the character succeeded. I don't know how to explain it lol. Elphaba is kind of like the underdog. If you have a star playing an underdog, it just isn't as believable lol.
lol totally lol Elphaba lol

Ok, even though I know she really doesn't fit the role I would just love to hear Jennifer Hudson sing Defying Gravity.
