Let's say you you're going to see Wicked and you can handpick the cast, but they have be people you haven't seen in the role. Who would you choose?

Elphaba: Willemijn Verkaik
Glinda: Jennifer Laura Thompson
Fiyero: Aaron Tveit
Morrible: Jan Neuberger
Wizard: Richard Kline
Nessarose: Michelle London
Boq: James Gillan
Dillamond: Martin Ball

Elphaba: Julia Murney or Caissie Levy (really can't choose on that one)
Glinda: Erin Mackey
Fiyero: Oliver Tompsetr
Madame Morrible: Carole Shelley

Nessarose: Laura Dysarczyk

Dillamond: Eh...

This is a great idea/thread, Jess!

Elphaba: Willemijn Verkaik
Glinda: Katie Rose Clarke
Fiyero: Andy Karl

Liking this idea! Though I could probably create a solid half dozen cast lists as picking just one for some of these roles was very difficult. Carmen Cusack or Lisa Brescia would come a very close second for Elphaba as I think both would be divine with JLT as Glinda.
