Ugh, there are SO many women who I could see playing Morrible. It's kind of a small part so I can't foresee too many well known actresses taking it on, but I'd love to see Bette, Glenn Close, Liza, Judi Dench, etc.
As for Elphaba, I think they should stick with unknowns. It makes the whole character come alive. If someone famous is up there, I wouldn't really care if the character succeeded. I don't know how to explain it lol. Elphaba is kind of like the underdog. If you have a star playing an underdog, it just isn't as believable lol.
I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.
