I think the original cast should obviously reprise their roles.
Jen says – reply to this

I know this is SO not Hollywood, but how cool would it be to actually have the two original leading ladies - Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenowith - in the leads? They could cast the wizard and Madame Mirabel and other supporting folks with movie stars, but no one could play the two leads better than those actresses!

OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!! Anne hathaway as Elphaba and Kristen Bell as Glinda… that would be good…
tim says – reply to this

40

First besides the damn bot. I'd love to see the original girls in it, or at least keep Idina Menzel as Elphaba.
Kate says – reply to this

41

Oooooo I WOULD LOVE to see that It has the potential to be a "wicked" movie Though perez, I'm more excited about it because i actually read the book, you know the thing that came before the play? The book is great, so hopefully, fingers crossed, hollywood won't fuck this movie up. And I think a Anne Hathaway or Emmy Rossum would be a great choice For Elphaba's part.
Jamey says – reply to this

42

Yes, but only if it's not a musical!

I thought the book was awesome but I musicals are meh
Tracy says – reply to this

43

DUH- How about Idina Menzel? She originated the role, and NO ONE, not ONE person does Elphaba better than her. She's AMAZING. Screw Mandy Moore
Court says – reply to this

44

Fo Elphaba they better fucking use Idina Menzel (or possibly Willemijn Verkaik… the amazing German Elphaba who does speak English as well). And for G(a)linda they better use Kristin Chenoweth. Seriously, bring the OBC back just as they did with the Rent movie. It would be a knock against all the Wicked fans if they didn't use either the OBC or, at the very least, other people who have already played the roles. Such as Eden Espinosa or Kerry Ellis or any of the other Elphabas or Galindas.

BRING BACK THE OBC!!!

Gaby says – reply to this

49

OMIGOD!!!! I knew it would happen but not this soon!!!!! Ahhhh!!! I am so happy beyond words. I wish they would have waited a few yrs so I could play Elphaba though JK Maybe Emmy Rossum or even ANne Hathaway would be great Elphies. They should get someone who has sung before. Kristen Bell looks like Glinda, but does she have her voice range???

No. The musical was meant to be played onstage turning it into a cheap money-making film will destroy so much of it.

I believe that Idena Menzel's and Kristin Chenoweth's original broadway contracts stated that they would play their respective roles in any film adaptaion.

I would like to see the original Elphaba and Galinda.

After all, no one does a better Elphie than Idina and no one does a better Galinda than Kristin
STEVE says – reply to this

67

THEY WOULD BE REALLY STUIPID NOT TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL GLINDA & ELPHABA ( KRISTIN CHENOWETH & IDINA MENZEL ) IN THE MOVIE! THAT WOULD BE MY DREAM!!!!
ryssa says – reply to this

68

NONE of the people you named (except maybe emmy rossum) have the chops to pull off those parts. Bring back Idina and Kristen!

But I looovee the musical.
joshs says – reply to this

82

Idena and Kristen……..No one else could do it.
jess says – reply to this

83

I agree. The book was great. I haven't seen the musical yet but I hope Hollywood sticks to the book. I heard the muscial isn't as dark as the book and sometimes musicals are cheesy.
I agree with Reese and Anne as sisters. I wonder who would play Elphaba's love interest?

88

I cant even imagine seeing wicked without Kristin and Idina it wouldnt be the same
:)!!! says – reply to this

89

Yay I LOVE WICKED! I don't see why they don't just get Idina Menzel to star in it? She was the original person and she has experience dealing with movies because she was in Enchanted.

Oh by the way, the musical is NOTHING at all like the book for the people who read it but never saw it.
Madel says – reply to this

90

IDINA MENZEL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rob says – reply to this

91

"Anne Hathaway, Mandy Moore, Emmy Rossum, Kristen Bell…" Um, how about none of those awful people? I'd love to see Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth, but they might look too old on screen for the parts. But if it isn't them, I'd much rather non-recognizable people who can *actually* sing.
Tank says – reply to this

92

ROSIE O'DONNELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sean says – reply to this

93

Shouldn't be a surprise since Universal is who put the stage show on to begin with.

Anyway, excited to see a movie version. Visually it can be amazing if done right. Just keep shits like Shouefucker away from it. Don't need him putting ass shots and other crap in it like he did the Phantom.

now they just need to get the Sunset Blvd. musical movie off the ground and all will be well.
Shawn says – reply to this

94

Potato Head should play Elphaba
Eric says – reply to this

95

The best would be to NOT mess with it and just leave the original cast to play the parts in the movie, as well. But, you KNOW that's not gonna happen.

I'd love to see Mandy Moore in this - good choice! And Madonna would be great in this movie, too. I just can't see which part, since she's older than what the main characters are supposed to be. They should have waited a few year so that LOLA could play Elphaba!

96

aslong vanessa hudgens isnt in it ill be happy

but doesnt it make sense to use the broadway peeps?
ashparry says – reply to this

97

I love Kristin and Idina them all the way
Andy says – reply to this

98

Cheno and Idina are awesome, but too old….it would be ridiculous to have two women pushing 40 play the witches at 18 years old….Hollywood will probs fuck it all up and cast two skanky bitches who can't sing…. Eden Espinosa is the shit…they should cast her as Elphaba and Laura Bell Bundy as Glinda
MarineWife says – reply to this

99

Emmy Rossum for sure
tasha says – reply to this

OMFG!!!… this id gonna be amazing!!!

'Very Psychotic' Madonna Stalker Escapes From Mental Hospital!

This is terrifying!

Very early this morning, the Los Angeles Police Department announced that 54-year-old Robert Dewey Hoskins, a man who was convicted of stalking and threatening Madonna, has escaped from a mental hospital in Norwalk, CA.

The LAPD are describing the man as follows:

"...A very psychotic man when not taking his medication and has very violent tendencies."

According to the LAPD, Hoskins served 10 years in prison for his actions against Madonna, and he was placed in the Norwalk mental hospital after "an additional run-in with police."

Stay safe, Madonna! We know the police are doing everything in their power to find this dangerous man!
