News about Wicked (the Movie Adaptation)

Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close) has landed the huge job of bringing the broadway hit musical, Wicked, to the big screen.

This news means that we're getting closer to seeing the musical in theaters (movie theaters (with a 'ers' - not real theatres (with an 'res')). I'm excited to hear more about the project as the roles are cast. I hope that they cast actors with really good voices, because this show cannot have "meh" singers. It needs solid singers.

Here is an article from Hypable.com with a list of their picks for the leading roles in the film adaptation of Wicked.

My dream cast:

Elphaba: Eden Espinosa
Glinda: Megan Hilty
Fiyero: Jeremy Jordan
The Wizard: Joel Grey

The rest of the roles I don't really have much of an opinion about.

Who do you want to see cast in the movie?
