One of my favorite KC "Wicked" clips  Her growl at the end always gets me!

I feel like current Kristen has become a caricature of herself.  It's been a very interesting transformation to observe.

That song is gorgeous.  I hear a bit of "Pie Jesu" & I'm here for it.

Revisiting the pro-shot footage highlights even more how incredible she was in the role. No actress since has been able to sing the legit soprano sections quite like she did.

There’s a difference between confusion and criticism.  I have only seen the latter in this thread.

Jordan Catalano said: "That’s fine but stop acting confused as to why it’s happening and saying it would be better/easier/etc if this or that was done instead. It’s missing the entire point of the films existence. "

I can only speak for myself, but I am not personally confused as to why this film is happening and have not acted as such.

And to your second point, people are allowed to have their opinions about the creative decisions being made

Jordan Catalano said: "Not sure why it’s difficult for people to understand that this film is happening FOR BEN. So it doesn’t matter what extra work needs to be done. It’s FOR BEN. Whatever extra needs to be done here is part of the plan to get the film made. Full stop. "
 

While this is perhaps accurate, it doesn’t mean people won’t have opinions about the creative decisions.

 

Jordan Catalano said: "Honestly, they’ll use that CGI stuff on him like they did with DeNiro and it’ll be fine. They only need to shave a couple years off, not 40 like the did in “Irishman”, so I’m absolutely not concerned. Again, this film is ONLY happening so Platt can do it now so I’m happy it’s getting done. "

That seems like A LOT of work for Ben to play that role.  A role that could be played as well by an age-appr

"Woulda Coulda Shoulda" seems to be a pretty common theme around these message boards.

I also love "In The Bedroom Down The Hall" and hope it is added in the movie.

I get that.  He was a great Evan in the original production, and I am sure he will be fine in the film.  In my own ideal world, they would have cast someone else.

Of course, I am not the one making the movie, so my opinion won't go beyond being posted on a Broadway message board.

Because this is a Broadway message board?

While no one is surprised that Platt is playing the role, there is no reason the role couldn't have been cast with an actor of color.

This is EXCELLENT casting. Honestly, Platt is what excites me the least about this film.  While he was so great in the original production, he does not realistically look 17.  He's also done a pretty good job of building a career since DEH, and I think he has so many opportunities to showcase his talent in the future. 

I also think they missed a great opportunity to cast an actor of color in the role of Evan.

I was hopeful the "on ice" version would happen first.

As much as I loved the TV show, I don't see how anyone would think this would realistically run for long period of time.  There are so many chances for a play-within-a play about writing a play to go so wrong.
