@@littlebug7456 Ben Platt is playing Evan in the movie adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen which is a wrong choice because he already played Evan in the Broadway show and now, he’s pretty much too old to play a senior in high school.
That's what we'd like the cast to be, but realistically, you know they're gonna cast Meryl Streep as Madame Morrible and James Corden as Doctor Dillamond
Chocolate Cupcakes idk. That feels kind of weird to me. And also, I love Ali, I think she’s super talented, but I think she’s a little too old for Nessa, I think Anna Kendrick is too old also, but 🤷♀️ it’s not up to me
RE: "Idina wants nothing to do with the Wicked franchise", she has said multiple times that she would like to play Elphaba if they CGI it, and also that she still loves singing Defying Gravity. So here's your evidence to the contrary...
Yes, but if it's *between* the two of them, Kristin Chenoweth had a fucking blast improv-ing her performance of Popular at the 15th anniversary concert; I'd love to see what she'd do with Morrible given the freedom of a movie set.
I would love to see Ariana Debose play Elphaba because I think that vocally she could do it, and another actress color playing that lead role, and I think that she would just do it beautifully and I think acting wise she would absolutely kill it!
I love this! I’d love to see you guys take on other shows too! Like RENT, Six, HEATHERS (oh my god, please?), Into the Woods, etc. and maybe for an added twist talk about, like, Live Productions (like how we had Hairspray, RENT, Grease, etc.)
I love the Tom Holland casting. That is actually brilliant. Also agree with padding the smaller characters with the movie stars and making the two witches newer or less mainstream talent.
Every Wicked dream casting video I've seen always has at least one "ew, really?" choice (usually several) and I was bracing for it the whole video but hot damn I agree with this! Love these choices daddies. Maybe Little Shop of Horrors for next time? Or stick with a Stephen Schwartz and do Godspell?
Me and my cousin like to do this with different movies but we always choose people of color for roles because we get very little representation. And as much as. I hate to say sometimes it seems like that's the only way we get it.
I'd love to see you guys do "dream casts" of musicals that already have movie versions. Just, you know, what if they were making Hello Dolly RIGHT NOW as a movie, who would you pick? Any musical that was already a movie (in addition to all the ones that aren't). Also I feel like Neil Patrick Harris would make a good Wizard even though he might be "too young" (I mean I think he's old enough to have a college-aged daughter). A Series of Unfortunate Events was a good showcase of his ability to be really menacing while still seeming like a normal, friendly man.
I dont remember who played her but I went to see wicked at The West End and the person who played Nessa was PHENOMENAL and I'd love to see her again. She made me fall in love with Nessa and shes now one of my dream roles Edit: it was Rosa O'Reilly, I just checked my programme, I just think shes so talented
Some people I can see as Elphaba: Ariana DeBose, Eva Noblezada, Melissa Benoist, Phillipa Soo (I can also see her as Glinda), Emmy Raver-Lampman, Gabrielle Carrubba, Lilli Cooper, Elizabeth Judd, Ciara Renee, Charissa Hogeland.
Actually Idina REALLY wants to be in the Wicked movie, everytime she is asked who she wants to play Elphaba in the movie she always says she wants her self in it 😆 In fact she said that they could make her look younger through cgi if they wanted to.
my friend and I discussed this the other day, and after playing Ryan doing as long as you're mine I barely even had to convince her that you should be Fiyero in the movie adaptation. Some of our other castings that we could agree on were Jordan Fisher as Boq and Rachel Zegler as Nessarose.
@@amb2487 i think renees voice fits elphaba very well! i think people only cast her as glinda because she's blonde, but brittney johnson isn't naturally blonde and absolutely slayed glinda
My dream Elphaba is Jessica Vosk. She's amazing and perfect for the role. She has the most beautiful and witchy voice ever and it fits so perfectly. The amount of talent she has is amazing. Brittany is also the perfect Glinda I agree with Ryan.
Okay, no joke, I’d LOVE to see you guys cast the ratatouille musical. I’ve seen a bunch of castings, and I guess I’d just love to see your input! I think you guys could make some really great casting choices!
Dr. Dillamond - Norbert Leo Butz Madame Morrible- Audra Mcdonald Wizard of OZ- Roosevelt Andre Credit Nessa Rose- Liz Gillies Boq- Tom Holland Fiero- Jordan Fisher Galinda- Jessica Vosk (I know she was an Elphaba, incredible, but thats why it would be so fun to see her play the good witch lol) ELPHABA- Elena Shaddow (not the biggest name but shes PHENOMINAL) SHE NEEDS MORE ATTENTION!
Cast a film version of Spring Awakening!! It'd be interesting because the actors need to be young for the story to have any impact but need to be old enough to carry the story out, and talented enough. It's actually a really hard show to cast
The only “search for” TV show for a theatre performance that I absolutely love is the Canada Over the Rainbow. Danielle Wade was perfect for Dorothy and the judges knew it from the beginning
I danced in the Prom and the cast was amazing so talented my scene was with Meryl I think Meryl would make an amazing Madam Morrible or Glenn Close or Bette Midler
Every person you picked had me going all YAAASSS! I mean, Idris Elba as the Wizard? I'm so digging that! And both of the Fiyeros, to be honest. 😂 Then Ryan said Ariana as Elphaba and I 😒 But I totally agree on your whole explanation! She is AMAZING at singing, but she just doesn't give me those Elphaba vibes. We'll have to make it alive to 2075 and see who they cast.
My picks for Elphaba and Glinda are Chloe and Halle (the sisters from the duo Chloe x Halle). Chloe has the range and can belt like crazy, I bet she can handle all the songs and notes just fine, so she would make a perfect Elphaba. Halle is an amazing soprano and her voice is so beautiful - also, since she’s playing Ariel in the Little Mermaid, that would be great to advertise. They’re also at the peak of their careers right now, it would be perfect 😭😭
My dream Elphaba would be Jasmine Cephas Jones. She played Peggy and Mariah Reynolds in Hamilton and she was phenomenal. Plus she’s a belter like Idina Menzel.
Tom Holland as Boq... I didn't know I needed it until now but if that doesn't happen I'm going to be so upset Edit - ALSO BRITNEY MY GOODNESS YES WE NEED HER IN THE MOVIE
Omg please let Brittney be Glinda !!! Also part of my dream cast is bringing back very actors who played Elphaba, Glinda, Bog? Nessa and Fiyero to play the inhabitants of the Emerald City. That way everyone can see their favourites !
So my favorite Elphaba ever ever ever is Willemijn Verkaik, I absolutely love her, but sadly she’s probably too old. I would love her in the movie anyways, but well. So, the last Elphaba I saw was Laura Pick and she absolutely and completely blew my mind and I don’t know her age but she’d probably fit and she’s wonderful and a amazing and she can sing the part and she can also play it in such an emotional way!
I know she’s probably more of a Glinda but I would love to see Hailey Kilgore play Elphaba. Like making the three leads all people of colorr would be AMAZING
Actual cast Vs Their Pick Dr Dillimond Theirs: Norbert Leo Butts Movie: Peter Dinklage Madame Morible Theirs: Kristin Chenowith Movie: Michelle Yeoh Wizard Theirs: Idris Elba Movie: Jeff Goldblum Nessa Theirs: Anna Kendrick Movie: Marissa Bode Boq Theirs: Riley Costello Movie: Ethan Slater Fiyero Theirs: Jordan Fisher Movie: Jonathan Bailey Glinda Theirs: Brittney Johnson Movie: Ariana Grande Ephiba Theirs: Ariana Grande Movie: Cynthia Erivo The only one they were right about was Ariana grande but it was the wrong role help
Kristen and Idina actually like each other.... they sang together in a video cover for their song "For Good" from the musical and you can she how much they care about each other :)
Honestly Ryan is one of the Fiyero’s in my dream cast so.. 🤣😂🤷🏻♀️ I feel like the Wicked movie should have people that have been in the musical at some point. Because it’s so special to a lot of people. However that being said I think Meryl Streep would also be a good candidate for Madame Morrible and Hugh Jackman would be a good one for the Wizard. Though I love your choices too for those roles especially Kristin. If the actresses who will play Elphaba and Glinda are 18-24 I feel like so should Fiyero, Boq and Nessa though you be cohesive as they are all at Shiz personally. Though I would love for Marcie Dodd and Helene Yorke to play Elphaba and Glinda as I seen them the first time I saw Wicked and they were amazing or Mary Kate Morrissey and Ginna Claire Mason as Elphaba and Glinda because their chemistry is on point for the roles. I feel like Ryan or Aaron Tveit or Kyle Dean Massey or Colin Donnell would be a great choice for Fiyero. I think it would be great to have Norbert be Doctor Dillamond. Also you two should do a dream cast of Mean Girls movie musical as that’s happening.
Rachel Zegler would be a greattttt Elphaba! She's young, she's got the voice and she's and amazing actor. only issue would be that she's playing Mario, so does that rule her out in favour of someone more fresh?
Honestly I would love to see Danna Paola (Elphaba from Mexico’s wicked production) as elphaba in the movie. She has an amazing voice, looks young, has experience playing the part, and is bilingual! Realistically it won’t happen but I’d kill to see her play the part
NO BUT WHEN RYAN SAID THEY WILL MAKE IT IN 3 YEARS MY JAW DROPPED, THIS WAS POSTED 3 YEARS AGO (ISH) AND IN NOVEMBER 2024 WE ARE GETTING PART 1 OF WICKED
Man, you guys had the same basic idea as me: Stack the people who aren't the leads with big Hollywood names and big Broadway names, but have Elphaba and Glinda be played by relative unknowns who have Broadway experience.
I love these casting choices :D my casting choise if or when we get this film where???? I love the search for Elphie idea they need to do it (Ariana is also my first choice) I'd also love for Willemijn Verkaik to get the role as she is a Wicked Ledgend Next to Menzel or Samantha Barks who was eponine in the Les Miz film, she is also about to play Elsa in Frozen In London she'd be incredible Taylor Louderman would be a great glinda or and unkown cast or Rachel Ann Go also love the Britney Johnson idea James Corden or Titus Burges as The Wizard Katy rowly Jones as Nessa (she played Nessa in London for nearly 7 years) love the Anna Kendrick idea (there were rumors Amy Adams was to play Nessa a few years ago) Ben Platt as Boq (His dad is the producer unless Ryan Murphy Gets his hands on it) I'd also love for Jordan to play Fiyero he'd be perfect Cher for (Morrible) And I also think a nice touch to the film would be for them to cast you guys and past cast members who have been involved in the Broadway and West End Production. The Producers will probably aim for a 25th Anniversary release or 30 (I dunno, But we have been promised this film for so long. I just think by the time they make this it will be The Year 2060. love your channel guys keep making the incredible videos love from Wales in the UK :)
Ok consider, Talia Suskauer as Elphaba . She’s currently playing Elphaba in the North American tour, she’s absolutely phenomenal, and she should 100% be included in the running for the movie (if they even cast it before 2097).
Katherine Steele said this in her video and I love it so much: Two words for Boq: BEN PLATT And also before you argue with me, just imagine him singing “because you are so beautiful” I know, glorious right?
Piper Brooks But like, by the time they actually make this movie Ben would be the age for Witch's Father. I, personally, am too young to find Ben attractive in any way, shape, or form. Therefore, Andrew Barth Feldman. No arguments. -Laura C.
The way you guys are so passionate about the casting of Wicked the movie, is how passionate I am about the live action tangled movie. I just truly 100% cannot think of a more perfect Flynn Rider than Ryan, and I’m so terrified about who they are going to cast... Ryan please. I’m begging. I don’t know if there is anything you can do, but if you can, do it.
My dream Elphaba is Eva Noblezada, I think she'd be fantastic, shes got the range, both in acting and singing and shes the right age
oooooo nice pick! - Sam
My dream Elphaba is Ariana Debose
@@aliceswonderland1056 oh my gosh I love her too!!
OML YES SHE WOULD EAT THAT ROLE UP
Oh my God that would be perfect
If you're talking about having a wizard of color, ANDRE DE SHIELDS!!!! He already played the titular character in The Wiz!!
That’s what I was saying!!!
In some alternate universe, that man is my uncle or grandpa. He's so wonderful
is that the guy from Victorious? or the guy from Hadestown?
@@sammy-castro26 Hadestown
FACTS!
I think it's a requirement for Jordan Fisher to be in everyone's dream cast for everything, that man is unreal
Yesssssssss!!! That man is amazing!
Second only to Aaron Tveit. 😊
@@patstory4798 amen
Actually I like ben platt has even Hansen 😏
@@littlebug7456 Ben Platt is playing Evan in the movie adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen which is a wrong choice because he already played Evan in the Broadway show and now, he’s pretty much too old to play a senior in high school.
Ryan: can he sing though?
Sam: He was in cats!
Me:That doesn’t mean anything
lol
Wait a minute. Did he even sing in the movie? I thought they were singing about him, but Idris Elba himself didn't sing. Or am I wrong?
@@patriciomejia1114 I can’t for the life of me remember if he did. I saw it once and that was more than enough
@@patriciomejia1114 He only sang the last verse of Macavity with Taylor Swift and he comes in with the line "The Napoleon of Crime".
That's what we'd like the cast to be, but realistically, you know they're gonna cast Meryl Streep as Madame Morrible and James Corden as Doctor Dillamond
This made me laugh 😂
You’re not wrong!
i wouldnt even be mad about meryl streep
James Cordon should not be allowed to do any movie musicals anymore.
I doubt the shit
Solid list! I wish they could do like what Hamilton did and have the stage version filmed professionally
Yes! Me too! - Sam
I think most of the true Wicked fans would rather have a proshot (me included).
okay but like samantha is elphaba and ryan is glinda. i don’t make the rules
perfect
Love it
okay but if there’s a tangled musical Ryan MUST be Flynn Rider
YESSSSS
Ryan or Derek klena
YES.
OMG YESSSS I NEED IT
YEEEEEES
you should totally do a dream cast for the mean girls musical movie and tangled!! but i have to say, i can't see anyone else as flynn but ryan
my top choice other than ryan for flynn is derek klena
Good idea!!! Also I’m on the same page lmao
@@josephineswanson3486 oh yes, derek klena would be a great flynn
@@josephineswanson3486 Great pick. Christy Altomore can be Rapunzel.
Ryan is Flynn and that’s it
I love the idea of Tom Holland and Jordan Fisher
"even you could be Elphaba"
me: crap i'm white
...
after a few seconds: WAIT- she's green
I don't know why but this comment absolutely fucking killed me🤣🤣🤣
When you said Brittney I got CHILLS!!!!! She is incredible. Also Bernadette Peters would KILL Madame Morrible
Bernadette Peters would be absolutely fabulous but is she acting anymore? I haven't seen her in anything since her husband died.
ok yes! I love Bernadette! She totally would kill this!
@@gingergoddess8953 she’s still acting! she’s a recurring guest star on zoey’s extraordinary playlist (a show on nbc)
you know james corden is going to be bulldozing his way through this cast
Catch him playing Boq
I think he should be the dude who says, "The wizard will see you now!" Because they legally have to cast him in every movie musical ever created.
Liz Gilles as Elphaba? Not sure that this is my personal final answer I just wanna see what others think lol
I was thinking the same thing because she can sing and act like that!!!!!!
Yes I was about to write this omg.
Yes! And she definitely has that edge
OH MY GOD YES
I THINK THAT IS A VERY GOOD ANSWER!!!!
I keep hearing Ali Stroker for Nessa and I'm here for it... why not have someone who is actually in a wheelchair play her?
Nessa walks in act 2
@@brittanythompson580 CGI or stunt double it.
YES!!!! Would pay the big big bucks for Ali!
.....and can sing her face off!!!!!!
Chocolate Cupcakes idk. That feels kind of weird to me. And also, I love Ali, I think she’s super talented, but I think she’s a little too old for Nessa, I think Anna Kendrick is too old also, but 🤷♀️ it’s not up to me

I agree I am totally for Idina playing Elphaba in the movie ( probably just because I am a huge Idina fan)
@@lindseyjoyner4908 She is too old, also her voice is all sorts of fucked now.
the way idina has said multiple times that she wanted to be in the wicked movie and they think she wants nothing to do with it lmao
Seriously though. I would take Idina back in a heartbeat!
@@singwithAshley Same!!!!
Yes, but if it's *between* the two of them, Kristin Chenoweth had a fucking blast improv-ing her performance of Popular at the 15th anniversary concert; I'd love to see what she'd do with Morrible given the freedom of a movie set.
I have been saying since day one that Anna Kendrick should be Nessa!
Only problem is that she’s already 35 at this point. 😩
She reads younger, although probably not young enough by he time they do the movie. It sucks because she would be such a perfect Nessa.
We definitely need a reaction to Cynthia and Ariana being cast!
12:17 PLOT TWIST ari has been cast as GLINDA for the wicked movie ✨✨
I would love to see Ariana Debose play Elphaba because I think that vocally she could do it, and another actress color playing that lead role, and I think that she would just do it beautifully and I think acting wise she would absolutely kill it!
Ariana DeBose is my choice for Elphaba as well.
Yes. This would be excellent.
Idina is actually so interested in playing Elphaba that she refuses to name any names when interviewers ask her about the film 😂
okay but emmy raver-lampman as elphaba. she definitely has the range, the edge, and a bunch of experience. she’s played elphaba on broadway too 😌
Just discovered this channel last night whilst tv surfing with my husband. One of our new favorites, you guys are awesome!
hot take: open calls for both witches. FIND THE PERFECT FIT
I agree. I would like to see a fresh face that I have never heard of for at least the roles of Elphaba and Glinda.
I've been saying this for YEARS but I NEED Ryan as Flynn from Tangled. You should cast both Tangled and Princess and the Frog
Regarding finding an unknown for Elphaba with an otherwise "star-studded" cast, I totally agree. I feel like that worked really well in Hairspray.
I love this! I’d love to see you guys take on other shows too! Like RENT, Six, HEATHERS (oh my god, please?), Into the Woods, etc. and maybe for an added twist talk about, like, Live Productions (like how we had Hairspray, RENT, Grease, etc.)
I love the Tom Holland casting. That is actually brilliant. Also agree with padding the smaller characters with the movie stars and making the two witches newer or less mainstream talent.
I feel like Rachel Zegler would be an AMAZING Elphaba, she doesn’t have a huge reputation but her voice is absolutely amazing!!!!!💚💚💚
yeesss she immediately came to mind for me too! she can both sing and act it for sure
Agreed
She would be great as Glinda too.
Every Wicked dream casting video I've seen always has at least one "ew, really?" choice (usually several) and I was bracing for it the whole video but hot damn I agree with this!
Love these choices daddies. Maybe Little Shop of Horrors for next time? Or stick with a Stephen Schwartz and do Godspell?
Y’all should totally do this for other Broadway musicals (to movies) too!
oh my goodness I need more castings! loved listening to your choices!! Tom Holland as Boq BLEW MY MIND!
Seeing this after the trailer came out ❤ I love that you even MENTIONED Ariana
Hear me out, Philipa Soo as Elphaba. I think she would kill singing defying gravity.
NO WAY! She is totally Nessa material
this vid just poped up on my tl after seeing the cast of wicked the movie… i REALLY wanna see their reaction to it!!
Me and my cousin like to do this with different movies but we always choose people of color for roles because we get very little representation. And as much as. I hate to say sometimes it seems like that's the only way we get it.
Wish I could go to a million different broadway shows. 🙈 I hope everyone is having an awesome and safe day! 😃💙
Renee Rapp would be a PERFECT Elphaba. She is young, has the broadway experience, and is CRAZY talented
THATS WHAT I SAID YES YES
exactly
I think Elphaba should be played by a poc!
@@chloeminh2366 I agree. I also really like the idea of a POC Glinda with nice golden blonde hair

Dr. Dillamond - Norbert Leo Butz
Madame Morrible- Audra Mcdonald
Wizard of OZ- Roosevelt Andre Credit
Nessa Rose- Liz Gillies
Boq- Tom Holland
Fiero- Jordan Fisher
Galinda- Jessica Vosk (I know she was an Elphaba, incredible, but thats why it would be so fun to see her play the good witch lol)
ELPHABA- Elena Shaddow (not the biggest name but shes PHENOMINAL) SHE NEEDS MORE ATTENTION!
Cast a film version of Spring Awakening!! It'd be interesting because the actors need to be young for the story to have any impact but need to be old enough to carry the story out, and talented enough. It's actually a really hard show to cast
Sam & Ryan: Elphaba - it's up to you, girl.
Me: I'm the one you want. It's me. IT"S MEEEEEEEEEEE
idk something just tells me Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda
The only “search for” TV show for a theatre performance that I absolutely love is the Canada Over the Rainbow. Danielle Wade was perfect for Dorothy and the judges knew it from the beginning
I danced in the Prom and the cast was amazing so talented my scene was with Meryl I think Meryl would make an amazing Madam Morrible or Glenn Close or Bette Midler
This list is so LIT!🔥 I hope this casting is one of the basis for the movie🧙♀️
15:07 Ariana DeBose was ensemble in the original Hamilton cast and she will also be in the new West Side Story movie! She is really good
I love Jordan Fisher as Fiyero! What would we think about someone like Ben Platt as Boq? He could play the shyness so well I’d like to see that
Also this would maybe not work for the movie but how would we feel about Harvey Fierstein as Madame Moribelle??
@@chrisrouth5306 LMFAO. I'd love to see it but no.
I think he's a bit old, but someone else who played Evan might be a good fit for Boq
I wish you uploaded videos more often. You're hilarious and very entertaining, and you really make my day always
Every person you picked had me going all YAAASSS! I mean, Idris Elba as the Wizard? I'm so digging that! And both of the Fiyeros, to be honest. 😂

Even tho she had nothing to do with Wicked yet, I think I would love to see Reneé Rapp as Elphaba! It‘s just a feeling but I think she‘d be BOMB.
Idina menzel has said she wanted to play Elphaba if she wasn’t to old for the role, so she wants a part with Wicked
She is too old tho. Also her voice is all sorts of fucked now.

Also part of my dream cast is bringing back very actors who played Elphaba, Glinda, Bog? Nessa and Fiyero to play the inhabitants of the Emerald City. That way everyone can see their favourites !
Can you please do more of these “dream cast” videos? I love hearing your guy’s opinions on this stuff 🤩
I honestly think Ben Platt would also be a really good Boq!
Sorry. I'm not trying to be a Ben hater but he's really too old. TBH he's too old to be in the DEH movie. Better CGI his face really well
I was thinking the character of the Wizard played by Norm Lewis.
OMFG. I LOVE NORM. I feel he would be great for the role
love Norm!!
"It could be you!"
Girl, it absolutely could not be me. I don't remember Elphaba pterodactyl-screeching her way through As Long As Your Mine.
the fact that they said ariana grande as elphaba and now she’s playing glinda

OH MY WORD I LOVE HAILEY KILGORE!!!
What about Eva Noblezada for Elphaba...? Just putting that out there, but I think that would be amazing 😅
Jessica Vosk should play elphaba and that’s on PERIOD.
Amen
Yes!!!
Yes
She's too old. No shade

Because it’s so special to a lot of people. However that being said I think Meryl Streep would also be a good candidate for Madame Morrible and Hugh Jackman would be a good one for the Wizard. Though I love your choices too for those roles especially Kristin. If the actresses who will play Elphaba and Glinda are 18-24 I feel like so should Fiyero, Boq and Nessa though you be cohesive as they are all at Shiz personally. Though I would love for Marcie Dodd and Helene Yorke to play Elphaba and Glinda as I seen them the first time I saw Wicked and they were amazing or Mary Kate Morrissey and Ginna Claire Mason as Elphaba and Glinda because their chemistry is on point for the roles. I feel like Ryan or Aaron Tveit or Kyle Dean Massey or Colin Donnell would be a great choice for Fiyero. I think it would be great to have Norbert be Doctor Dillamond.
Also you two should do a dream cast of Mean Girls movie musical as that’s happening.
I loved Brittany Johnson!!! She was a gem to work with on les mis tour. Sweet as pie and has an amazing heart!
Rachel Zegler would be a greattttt Elphaba! She's young, she's got the voice and she's and amazing actor. only issue would be that she's playing Mario, so does that rule her out in favour of someone more fresh?
“Pretend your watching without your glasses” I am watching without my glasses
Me too!
Same. 😂😂😂
This casting is amazing
Honestly I would love to see Danna Paola (Elphaba from Mexico’s wicked production) as elphaba in the movie. She has an amazing voice, looks young, has experience playing the part, and is bilingual! Realistically it won’t happen but I’d kill to see her play the part
"maybe they gonna make it in 3 years" this was 2 years ago and it comes out next year.. ryan called it
NO BUT WHEN RYAN SAID THEY WILL MAKE IT IN 3 YEARS MY JAW DROPPED, THIS WAS POSTED 3 YEARS AGO (ISH) AND IN NOVEMBER 2024 WE ARE GETTING PART 1 OF WICKED
Man, you guys had the same basic idea as me: Stack the people who aren't the leads with big Hollywood names and big Broadway names, but have Elphaba and Glinda be played by relative unknowns who have Broadway experience.
I love these casting choices :D my casting choise if or when we get this film where????
I love the search for Elphie idea they need to do it (Ariana is also my first choice) I'd also love for Willemijn Verkaik to get the role as she is a Wicked Ledgend Next to Menzel or Samantha Barks who was eponine in the Les Miz film, she is also about to play Elsa in Frozen In London she'd be incredible
Taylor Louderman would be a great glinda or and unkown cast or Rachel Ann Go also love the Britney Johnson idea
James Corden or Titus Burges as The Wizard
Katy rowly Jones as Nessa (she played Nessa in London for nearly 7 years) love the Anna Kendrick idea (there were rumors Amy Adams was to play Nessa a few years ago)
Ben Platt as Boq (His dad is the producer unless Ryan Murphy Gets his hands on it) I'd also love for Jordan to play Fiyero he'd be perfect
Cher for (Morrible)
And I also think a nice touch to the film would be for them to cast you guys and past cast members who have been involved in the Broadway and West End Production. The Producers will probably aim for a 25th Anniversary release or 30 (I dunno, But we have been promised this film for so long. I just think by the time they make this it will be The Year 2060. love your channel guys keep making the incredible videos love from Wales in the UK :)
Ok consider, Talia Suskauer as Elphaba . She’s currently playing Elphaba in the North American tour, she’s absolutely phenomenal, and she should 100% be included in the running for the movie (if they even cast it before 2097).
Katherine Steele said this in her video and I love it so much: Two words for Boq: BEN PLATT
And also before you argue with me, just imagine him singing “because you are so beautiful”
I know, glorious right?
Piper Brooks
But like, by the time they actually make this movie Ben would be the age for Witch's Father. I, personally, am too young to find Ben attractive in any way, shape, or form. Therefore, Andrew Barth Feldman. No arguments.

@@tonysye omg yes I completely agree with you, I didn’t even think about that but YES YES YES
The way you guys are so passionate about the casting of Wicked the movie, is how passionate I am about the live action tangled movie. I just truly 100% cannot think of a more perfect Flynn Rider than Ryan, and I’m so terrified about who they are going to cast... Ryan please. I’m begging. I don’t know if there is anything you can do, but if you can, do it.
