Any Idea on Wicked Ensemble Casting?

"Wicked is is an awesome Musical and its originality is something we need more of in todays Musical Theater" Ugh...Imagine the millions and billions of dollars shows are going to cost as we rise and rise above shows like Wicked to create shows 'more like this'. I assume we're all somewhere in the ball park of Wicked figures? I agree with originality (but is a prequel of the Wizard of Oz original? not being cynical but have a think...) I love original theatre (straight or musical). I love things that are different and a challenge and interesting to bring to the stage...or screen. But it has to be utilized effectively. Why is it original? For me an original show is something that is completely different or rarely seen- musicals that are made to make people think rather than just be a spectacle- that's a good one. Musicals that experiment with different types of music (Not a musical but the Circ Du Solei shows....the music in those thats different, and I love that! Out of this world stuff). I think originality is out there... It's opportunity thats needed. And costing millions of dollar to put a show on Broadway...it's going to be hard for the truly original shows to get there. ...that said, I don't know about Wicked casting...I'm sure it will happen eventually. There is still some time before the show yet. (Phantom has just started rehearsing and the Wicked set takes something like 16 weeks to build I've heard) so I think we can mathematically work out when casting will be...roughly....I'm not mathematical though. I can predict though that when things do start stirring in that vicinity I'm sure there will be announcements here or somewhere! Good luck if you do audition. ____________________________________________________________ Currently working on: "Boy Banned" a fusion of live acting, video footage, corny songs, syncronised dancing boys and egos!
