I think they're gonna get a stage actor for Fiyero The other day I had a notification on Twitter about the Fiyero casting. It was some guy I’ve never heard of (not difficult as I don’t know ANYone) and I overlooked it until I came back ti this thread. Bad news 1 : I don’t remember the name. Bad news 2 : I think that tweet was deleted as there’s no record of it in my notifications. Good news : I don’t care 🙂 |

Speaking of Miriam as Morrible, she is very naughty. In the scene where she is talking to Elphaba about the Wizard, she says something like “if you do something for the Wizard, he’ll do much for you” (I can’t remember the exact quote). She then proceeded to make a rather sexual licking gesture with her tongue at the side of her mouth. Naturally this made Idina corpse… which was quite funny. Otherwise, Miriam did a lot of shouting, pointing and absolutely refusing point blank to sing. When Susie Blake took over it was a relief, to be honest - a huge improvement. Lovely story from my mum, who went with my late Nan to see Wicked with a group of Oxfordshire Carers, who Miriam invited to tea in her dressing room…M&S smoked salmon and sandwiches! Miriam talks about how she serves smoked salmon whenever she has guests in her book, and that “it must, like a woman, be moist”! Off-topic but the book is a fantastic read and has some great theatrical stories, I adore Miriam Margolyes. |

Off-topic but the book is a fantastic read and has some great theatrical stories, I adore Miriam Margolyes. I really, really like Miriam too. She wasn’t an amazing Morrible though, apart from the novelty of seeing her imperious self! The Wicked cast also sat behind us once at Spamalot, when Spamalot was in previews. Miriam was extremely loud. There’s a bit in a show where King Arthur (Tim Curry) asks “are there any Jews here?!” - naturally Miriam yells at the top of her lungs “YEEEEESSSSSS”. And Tim replies “jolly good!”. Lovely stuff. |

I'm just watching the Amazon version of Cinderella — the people in this (Cinderella, Prince Charming, his sister) are more the age I'd imagine for Wicked.

I thought Miriam was great as Morrible. She had a great mix of haughty and terrifying. She was so good she did it again on Broadway. I'd love to see her do it in the film, though I think if any character will be padded out and a song given to, it would probably be Madame Morrible, and though she could get away with it on stage, she wouldnt on film.

Boq and Nessarose need more to do as well as Morrible.

Elphaba’s age is never explicitly stated in the show. She’s definitely older than Nessarose

Elphaba’s age is never explicitly stated in the show. She’s definitely older than Nessarose “Elphaba has just started college in Wicked, so she is thought to be eighteen or nineteen years-old. However in the book, she was three years older than Nessarose, which would make her at least 20 or 21 years-old.” |

However in the book, she was three years older than Nessarose, which would make her at least 20 or 21 years-old.” I'd guess that they'll frame it as Nessa starting college, with her older sister joining with her to look after her? So she could be 10+ years older (as she will appear) and i guess it just adds to her 'other-ness'? But we wont know til we see it |

That would make her significantly older than Glinda and Fiyero, though, which I'm not sure would work. Unless they're making them all mature students  |

To be fair, we also dont know what age students start at Shizz, were assuming their university model is similar to ours but its a made up magical land... they could all be precisely 42 for all we know lol

The film could make things more clear than the stage version

"Somebody on the Internet Said" could be the title for a great play or maybe an even better improv sketch.

They’ll be CGI’d to buggery for the uni scenes.
