Oscar winner Renee Zellweger, finishing up the Judy Garland film biography, "End of the Rainbow", was overheard saying that after not winning the Oscar for "Chicago", that she thought that she could remake "Cabaret" because her voice is in the same class as Liza's...thoughts?...
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Zellweger’s film is titled JUDY and is adapted from the play END OF THE RAINBOW. Per the playwright himself, this film is based more on fact as his stage play was more fantasy. The film wrapped several weeks ago and is planning an early 2019 release.
This project was actually announced, shortly after the film of CHICAGO was released and never happened. It was to be a film version based on the Sam Mendes revival. At that time, I think Renee would have made a good Sally.
“I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then.”

Zellweger is too old to play Sally Bowles, although I could see her doing it when she was younger. I think Carey Mulligan sounds like a very interesting choice, and the reality is that she doesn't actually have to sing that well to play Sally Bowles.
Although I liked her in the role and was happy when she won the Oscar (albeit in a pretty lousy category in 1972), I find that I can not even watch Minelli in Cabaret nowadays without cringing. IMO her performances is just to over-the-top.
Much too old for Sally Bowles since she'll be fifty next year. She'd make a better emcee in a gender changing role reversal. Wasn't it once rumored that Ruth Gordon's name was briefly mentioned for Joel Grey's role in the film version?
WTF? Sally Bowles is young woman with allusions and misdirection. Catherine Zeta-Jones is pushing 50. She’d be perfect for Fraulein Kost or a middle-aged Fraulein Schneider.
People, the film version of CHICAGO was released in 2002 — 16 years ago! The actresses in this film are almost 50 years old. They are now age-appropriate for Norma Desmond in SUNSET BLVD (who is 50!).

How old is Sally Bowles actually supposed to be? Is it completely open to interpretation/direction or is there a set age range? I always thought she was supposed to be fairly young because of the lyrics in Don't Tell Mama, but some people say she's in her early thirties. I've never been able to actually get an answer or even know if there is an answer.

I think there's tragedy either way:
if she's 19, it's tragic for a completely different but just as valid reason as if she's 33.
The character is also a complete pathological liar. There is no way to know what her real age is and whether she’s actually British or anything else. That’s what makes her a fascinating creature.
“I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then.”
I had heard both 19 and 33, but never knew if either was considered the "correct" answer. And QueenAlice, I totally agree with you on that, so it's really up to the actress/director what's true and what's false about her life. Thanks!
The original film still holds up and is fantastic. But I wouldn’t mind another film that includes more of the songs and storylines that were cut from the stage show, particularly the Fraulein Schneider/Herr Schultz material.
