if there was a tv show based on the book what would be your dreamcast?
oh god this is so hard. ‘cause if it was a show i’d want it to be something like game of thrones (or emerald city, which was this nbc show that i watched like 2 episodes of before going back to school, and idk how the season as a whole worked but the pilot was pretty much everything i want in a wicked adaptation) ANYWAY i very rarely watch dramas so casting is hard but
Elphaba: for some reason, Gal Gadot was the first idea I had, and I think if the writing focused more on Elphie’s hopeful, compassionate side, that could be beautiful? But that side also doesn’t show up as plainly in the book sooo I don’t know. I also keep circling back to Aja Naomi King. that could be good.
Glinda: Megan Hilty. And I’m thinking of her as Ivy in Smash, not as Glinda. Weird, I know, but think about it. Also, I haven’t seen that much of Samira Wiley but I’m gonna say her anyway because I want to
Fiyero: listen. i have..no clue (i…don’t pay attention to male actors oops) but he would have to be black. no exceptions.
Nessa: I feel like…Annie Briggs might slay this role. There’s something in the theatrics and the superiority that she could totally own.
I have no idea for Crope but listen: Ezra Miller as Tibbett.
side note i really want Nanny or Ama Clutch to be played by Julie Andrews
Morrible: Tilda Swinton’s not quite right, but she’s also not wrong. I’m thinking Narnia witch vibes
that’s seriously all i’ve got i’m so bad at this (but god what a good question. what do you all think? i’m so curious about this and i’m in love with the idea of a wicked tv adaptation)
