It's a cruel summer. Joined: 26 May 2014 Posts: 35,256 User: 20,947	Finally a release date announced for the movie version of Wicked 💚 Have been waiting for this for about at least 4 years so I'm so excited that something finally seems to be happening! (Even if it is ages away!) Who do you want to play Elphaba and Glinda? And defying gravity on the big screen will be . 💖

I would LOVE for them to do the live singing thing that was done with 'Les Miserables'! Hope they know what they want to do with it. Which one is the one Idina plays? Coz I think Samantha Barks would do that role well. (I speak as if I know what I'm talking about, I don't. I really wanna see the musical though!)

Really hope things move smoothly and we don't get any pushbacks. I hope they don't do too much snipping and we get near enough full versions of the best songs like No One Mourns the Wicked, Popular etc. And I really don't want Something Baaad to be cut but already thinking it will be Samantha Barks would be fantastic I think for Elphaba. I hope we get cameos from the likes of Idina too.

Long time to wait. It's gonna be directed by Stephen Daldry (who did 'Billy Elliott I believe).
