I'd love to see Lillias White as Glinda the Good. OMG I'm already giddy!!!

Love Lillias!

How about J-Hud as the Wicked Witch?

J-Hud looks to young for Evilene...I'd rather see her as Addaperle.

Oh, see, I disagree. I think Addaperle needs to be older.

I think of her as a wiser witch; Evilene I could see as young and hot-headed (as well as wicked).

Plus, she could be glam and evil.

"How about J-Hud as the Wicked Witch?"

Reginald I could totally see that happening. But they'd for sure have to write a few more songs for her as Evilene just to showcase that amahzing voice of hers. I simply don't think "Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News" is enough for those pipes!

You're absolutely right, Tofu.

Maybe Evilene could show up in Munchkinland (as she does in the MGM version) to sing the rousing "Bitch, Gimme Them Shoes"!
