That might be the case if it was set in the real world, but this is Shiz University and who know when their academic years start  |

They’ll be CGI’d to buggery for the uni scenes. What happened to the good ol' days of a soft focus lens or a bit of vaseline? |

He did a little bit of dancing in Company during Little Things You Do Together!
He’s a very talented man so I reckon he could easily pick up choreography if he was playing Fiyero.

If it isn’t Zac Efron from ten years ago I think Johnny is a great call. I’m led to believe he is swoonsome to some so should do the trick. He can certainly sing it. |

He’s definitely swoonsome to most of the gay men on here and I guess we’re one of the main target audiences for this film so definitely a good call! |

Johnny Bailey + those Fiyero jodhpurs = lots of happy gay men, for sure!

34 year old Fiyero, 35 year old Elphaba, meeting at University.... that's not stupid at all....! 🤣 At one point they have to be about 35 in the show so it’s not stupid at all. |

Willemijn Verkaik was playing Elphaba in her 40s. Nobody cared.

Whilst I agree with you 100% with the Willemijn example (she looks every bit her age, or older) with the magic of movie make up, they could easily take or add 5-10 years (depending on the quality of the work) for an actor. If you’re covering them in green and have a huge budget, I’m sure they can do a good job with Cynthia Erivo. I don’t like the casting but I think they do, and have a vision - until a trailer comes out, I have no idea how they are making it a reality. My biggest concern is how this is worth two movies. I can see this bombing huge if the marketing isn’t right. Getting two movies out of this is a hard sell. |

What happened to the announcement about Hannah Waddingham? We were told it was coming the following Monday...That was two months of Mondays ago! I said at the time that not every tip I get is right, but I only share from people I trust. Not every single one is going to be right, as the other sources here can attest. I posted to this effect in fairness. The problem is most info is second or third hand, and it’s the one who shares it who gets it in the neck if it doesn’t happen. The question is should people spill the tea which may be wrong sometimes, or not say anything at all? Because I’m happy to stop giving news (which 99% of the time is right) if I’m going to be snarked at for tips turning out false? |

No one knows for definite how long the gap is between Act 1 and Act 2, but it's only a handful of years at most to allow for Glinda and Fiyero's engagement and Nessa to become governor, it's certainly not 15+ years! |

We’re pretty chill about tips and predictions that don’t end up coming true because most people here appreciate that things that are planned can and will change. But we are allowed to have a little joke or tease about it aren't we? I mean, there have been some monumental booboos *cough* mr Barnaby hello Dolly London with Bette midler*cough* but he’s still at it! 😐 I very much encourage you and any of our other insiders to carry on telling us stuff. It’s always fun to talk about predictions even if they end up not happening. |

Another casting call has gone out for Nessarose which suggests Keira Allen hasn't been cast in the role.

If he’s filming this while doing Guys and Dolls at the Bridge, he’s going to be knackered!
