I heard a rumor they wanted to try this in animation. But that was a couple years ago, well before this came to rights.

I still think The PRoducers got the short end of the stick as far as Musicals into movies goes. It got some crazy limited release in arthouse movie theaters, and as they were inaccessable, it tanked.

And will the get the original principles to perform their roles? or will the go Hairspray and get bigger name celebs?

I'm not too big on musicals at all, and any knowledge of them I blame on my mother listening to College radio broadway shows when I was younger... but I wouldn't be objected to seeing Wicked as a film. I mean, 10 bucks verses 100.... you lose the feel of the performers being right their in front of you, but you still get to experiance the story.

And personally, that's what counts for me. I heard the music everywhere, one random song at a time, but I never peiced them together. I'm itching to see what's really going on.

I just hope they keep the thing as dark as I heard it was.
