Which casting decisions do you think are the worst?

I keep thinking about Wicked and I just feel so depressed about it. I'm a casual Broadway fan and neither Cynthia Erivo nor Ariana Grande seem to fit the characters they've been cast as. Maybe it will turn out better than I expect, but it made me wonder what other casting decisions have been just… wrong. I look forward to seeing what you think!

It's April 2 today, and I'm back, just to tell you that NO CASTING IS WORSE THAN RACHEL ZEGLER AS SNOW WHITE.

Replying to Charlie'sMovieMoveIt: It's okay, we all have bad opinions 😇</br>(jk jk, I thought her performance was the only good part of the film but to each their own I guess)

Replying to marvelousmars: You know what, after finish writing a review about Snow White, I actually felt I shouldn't blame on her so much. The script was problematic, she didn't have so much space to elaborate on her character. There were a few scenes she was doing fine, like when she was with the Seven Dwarfs.

Replying to Charlie'sMovieMoveIt: Ahahaha I knew you'd see the light (again, kidding!). Honestly, she did a decent job with what she had to work with, and I really enjoyed her singing. The rest of the film was... Disconcertingly weird and/or bad, but she was solid. She proved the haters wrong.

Replying to Luc Le: Oooooh I want to say I disagree with you but the more I think about it, the more I think you're right. He's not a bad actor or anything, but there are way better choices out there.

Luc LeDecember 10, 2024
Replying to marvelousmars: YESSS! At first glance, Tom can be a great fit for the role however, when we look at the results of the movies something about him portraying the nerdy classic Peter Parker is just off. Definitely need a re-cast. Idk if you ever watched YOU season 1 before but I encourage you to read my twisted ending of YOU season 1 article. Hopefully you'll enjoy it! The Escape That Trapped Me

I'm curious about who's gonna be your dreaming Wicked cast~~~?

marvelousmarsNovember 13, 2024
Replying to RiqueAntôooo: Oooh that's hard... I mean Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel are obviously my absolute dream team, but if I had to pick new actresses, I'd have Lea Michele as Elphaba and Dove Cameron as Glinda. Even better would be two relatively unknown Broadway actresses though!
