Something I do from time to time is think about what characters from a show or movie would be cast as what characters in a musical (and other things, but usually musicals). So I figured, here's a thread where we can all do that. To get things rolling, here are two CWaCoM-related castings:
Little Shop of Horrors
Seymor - Flint
Audrey - Sam
Mushnik - Mayor Shelbourne
Orin - Brent
All the people from "Meek Shall Inherit" - Joe Towne
When you think about it, the plot of LSoH is pretty similar to CWaCoM. A nerdy guy has no luck until "discovering" something new that brings him fame, fortune, and the love of a pretty girl, but it doesn't take long for things to take a turn for the worse. As I mentioned in "Songs" thread, "Ya Never Know" is practically Flint's story right there, and so many other factors fit in, too.
Wicked
Elphaba - Flint
G(a)linda - Brent
Fiyero - Sam
Madame Morrible - Mayor Shelbourne
The Wizard - Vance LaFleur
Not sure who would be Nessarose and Boq. Oh, and Steve could be all the Animals, including Dr. Dillamond and the flying monkeys. If you're wondering what Vance LaFleur has to do with anything, according to the art book, in one version of the story, Flint was going to be trying to get into the science league and would eventually meet the head, Vance LaFleur, only to learn that LaFleur caused most of the problems he had solved (such as giant ants), and was rather blasé about it. So when I was listening to "The Wizard and I," I realized that it would work pretty well for Flint dreaming of leaving Swallow Falls behind to join the Science League. And the rest pretty much fell into place after that.
