Dr Dillamond is an unknown actor.
Well, he's obviously known by some people, but he's not a well known name

I wonder how they'll do Dillamond onscreen. If he'll be CGI or if he'll be a costumed actor.

Are there any whispers of west end folk being cast in the 'ensemble' like Les Mis yet? It seems strange that there's no gossip that i've seen on twitter yet about this, Wicked should have a huge amount of extras for Oz/Emerald City/Shiz crowd scenes.

Or that filming starts tomorrow? If it’s that then it’ll also be a cast announcement. In the age of social media and instant news they’d prefer to announce the cast rather than it leak after they’ve started filming.

Not sure they have started filming, someone (not saying who) is off sick.

Cynthia Erivo posted at 4am that she was off to work. That’s an odd time to start rehearsals. I think filming has begun.

I’m fairly certain Nessarose is between Marissa Bode (the most likely candidate), Daisy Washington and Keira Allen.
I think Ethan’s casting is all we’re getting for today.
Via Twitter Jon M. Chu confirmed that filming started today and that we’re getting the rest of the casting “very soon…ish”

Ethan Slater is such an excellent choice for Boq, I’m so glad that this rumour turned out to be true

Who are we missing now then, for lead casting? Is that it? Broadway world have announced Jeff Goldblum too. I think now we are waiting for Dr Dillmond and Nessa.

When Jon Chu joined as director, Michelle commented on that post for him to call her.

“Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Keala Settle, Bronwyn James, Aaron Teoh, and Michael Carmichael have joined the cast of Jon M. Chu's film adaptation of Wicked.
Deadline reports that Marissa Bode has joined the cast as Nessarose, Elphaba's younger sister.
Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James will play Shiz University classmates Pfannee and ShenShen, respectively.
Keala Settle will play Miss Coddle, with Aaron Teoh as Avaric and Michael Carmichael as Nikidik.”
Soz for the copy and paste.

pretty sure ‘Nikidik’ is the replacement teacher in the show that injects the lion .. and Coddle could be the officer with Morrible after Dear Old Shiz?? Wondering if they’ll be adding new characters though

I was about to say, who on earth (or Oz!) is Miss Coddle? The rumour/gossip that I've heard is that Morrible will only be the headmistress of Shiz University and the roles she takes on later like the Wizard's secretary will now be separate characters.
