Jordan Fisher is a name that has been thrown around a lot for Fiyero. I think he fits the bill, but wouldn't be my ideal choice. I think Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton star) would be a good pick. Actually Jonathan Bailey isn't a bad shout. He could age up and down. But with bridgerton and his recently announced tv or movie (forget which) i cant see him being available Something just seems a bit off with the way this movie(s) is shaping up. Hopefully I'm wrong and there will finally be a good modern movie musical |

They need a fresher twink off the block. *And don’t come for me like you did after I suggested Olivia Colman &/or Jodie Comer wouldn’t want to be in Mamma Mia 3. |

Btw that’s not specifically directed at you @theatrefan2, just anybody. I don’t remember who it was. Xxxx |

He’s more actor these days isn’t he? He’s been in the latest Jumanji movies.

Ooooh can we have Suzi Quatro as Madame Morrible, Adam Ricketts as Dr Dillamond and David Cassidy as the Wizard? You can never have too many popstars! |

Too short, too problematic and too dead is my answer to that, I'm afraid. |

Considering they have cast the leads older I'm not sure a twink fiyero would worm (and I include Harry styles in that too)
How old is Jeremy Jordan? At this point they may be best to pull a sam barks in les miz, and cast from the theatre world

Jeremy Jordan is 37. Aaron Tveit mentioned above is 38. Cynthia is 35. This university is going to look like it's filled with students who got held back A LOT 🤣
At this rate next to them, poor Ariana at 29 is going to look like a child prodigy who got bumped up a few years at school, like those geniuses who attend Harvard at 12 🤣

I don't think Cynthia's age will be a problem. She'll be in green makeup all over.

Anyone have any leads for the rest of the cast? Is it true that Hannah Waddingham is going to be Madame Morrible??

Do you guys think we will be getting any casting announcements this month or will they wait for rehearsals to start in August?

I honestly think Ariana as Glinda is a good fit.
