Wicked the Musical - Movie Adaptation Confirmed!

[Kyle]

The movie version of Into the woods is only successful because of its cast tbh and I don't think there is any bettering the stage version of wicked regardless of cast. Hopefully the rise in film adaptations will encourage more people to see the shows in te theatre where they are best!

I don't think that's true, Sondheim musicals have a huge following around the world and it would have been popular regardless of the cast (obviously a star studded cast helps to get people in the cinema but to say the cast is the only reason behind its success is ridiculous)

Sondheim musicals have a huge following on stage but they don't necessarily do as well on screen without the right cast. Sweeney Todd is one example of making use of the right people in the film industry to drive musicals to a wider audience. Regardless of acclaim and an abundance of awards in certain circles, without the right people within the film industry to drive it through nobody would care too much and it would only attract the type of person who already enjoys his work.
