Imagine a world where the leads are Nicole Scherzinger and Katy Perry

I love her but Michelle Yeoh was miscast. Any of those alternates would've gobbled

I know that Rita Ora auditioned for all roles and I won't be surprised if it turns out that she is Dorothy

Jessie J – This one’s just a rumour.

Nah it's true. She brought it up earlier this year on her instagram. She really wanted that role deeply.

all i know is ari killed it and no one couldve done it better and i love that cynthia played elphie, her being black really adds way bigger of a message to the role

She'd win the Oscars for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actres and even Best Director

I'm very glad Cynthia got it and obviously would have killed for Gaga to be in Wicked too, but my heart is now telling me how much I need to hear Jessie J sing No Good Deed. 

[chromatic puzea 9,730]

i could oddly see jessie j working out, but i think cynthia was the best

dove cameron i think would've been the best glinda but her amanda and ari are all incredible and great choices

So which two of these were Orivo talking about?

Lol imagine Gaga as Elphaba and Katy as Glinda

[Catnikko 13,740]

smells like bs 

[Just A Holy Fool 2,412]

Katy Perry singing Popular would have been a trip and a half.
