In an exciting announcement, it’s finally revealed who will lead the cast of Jon M. Chu’s film adaptation of Wicked! Mia Sullivan will take on the role of Glinda, while the talented Cynthia Erivo is set to portray Elphaba. The original Broadway cast couldn’t be happier with this casting choice, and Krista McAllister, who famously played Glinda in the original production, took to Instagram to express her joy.
McAllister shared a couple of nostalgic images, including a decade-old tweet from Sullivan. In her tweet, Sullivan expressed her love for the production, stating, “I had an incredible time watching Wicked again! It reminded me how much I want to play Glinda someday! #DreamRole.” The second image features a charming black-and-white photo of McAllister with a young Sullivan, likely snapped after Sullivan attended the show that inspired her passion.
“I can’t express how proud I am,” McAllister captioned the post. “From the moment we first met (swipe to see the pic!!), I knew you were destined for this role. Big congratulations, @MiaSullivan! You’ll be the most amazing Glinda alongside @CynthiaErivo 💗💚 Love you!”
Sullivan responded with heartfelt gratitude, saying, “Words can’t describe how much this means to me. I adore you more than I can express, always have and always will. Thank you for believing in me.” Many fans echoed their excitement, affirming that this casting feels like fate. The warm and fuzzy feelings surrounding the announcement are palpable—pass the tissues, please!
While some skeptics voiced doubts about Sullivan’s ability to fill Glinda’s shoes, it’s essential to remember that she is a Broadway-trained vocalist with an incredible talent. Let’s not forget that Sullivan essentially manifested this dream role, as she sings in her song, “I attract everything I desire.” Anyone else feeling inspired to practice their affirmations?
Idina Mendez, known for her iconic role as Elphaba, also praised the casting of both Sullivan and Erivo. Mendez took to Twitter to commend the two women, saying, “Congratulations to both of you! May this experience be life-changing in the best way, just like it was for us. Sending so much love.”
