I Say She Makes a Better Blonde...All Signs Point to Glinda
And it isn’t being Ryan Seacrest’s housewife! Imagine that.
In the upcoming June issue of Vanity Fair, Julianne Hough opens up about a job offer that she’s eagerly awaiting. It isn’t another round on Dancing with the Stars, it doesn’t require another pair of cut off booty shorts like Footloose, think of something way, WAY, cooler than that.
Even though it’s certain that the position won’t be available for (what may be forever), Hough is anxious to play the lead in Wicked! That’s right! The super slim blonde wants to turn in her form fitting gowns for a black cape and green skin to step into the shoes of Elphaba, the wicked witch of the West!
Julianne confessed,
“I want to be Elphaba. I mean, in my mind I’m like, I don’t want to do any musicals for a while, since they’re like the only movies I’ve done, so I’m like, Let’s just wait five years and they’ll have to come out and make that and I will definitely do that!”
It’s odd to me that she’d prefer to take a walk on the wild side as Elphaba, instead of smile and be as beautiful as ever as Glinda, the Good. But she’s right about one thing, there hasn’t been a whiff of interest from any studios to make the Broadway musical into a movie just yet.
However, Phantom of the Opera made it to the big screen and production is rolling on the set of Les Miserables. It’s definitely possible that a ‘Wicked’ movie could be flying on a broom to the big screen sooner than later!
Couldn’t you just picture Ryan Seacrest covered in brown fur, playing one of her flying monkeys?! Talk about born to play that part, that squidgy little face and beady dark eyes, he’s practically camera ready!
