Amy Adams Says, 'I'd Really Love to Play Elphaba From WICKED'

Every Broadway season seems to feature more and more Hollywood stars, and yet another screen actor has expressed an interest in appearing in a hit Broadway musical- but not on the Great White Way.

In a recent interview, Amy Adams (star of Tim Burton's upcoming film BIG EYES) revealed that the one musical she would love to be in is WICKED.

"I'd really love to do Elphaba from WICKED, just because I want to see if I could sing it," says 40-year-old Adams.

"I couldn't do eight shows a week, but maybe at like a charity concert? Nobody would ever cast me as Elphaba-they'd totally want to cast me as Glinda, because that's the kind of voice I have."

She also said that not only would she like to be in the 2003 Stephen Schwartz hit as "the green girl," but in the past, she saw herself as starring in the 1965 Tony Award-winning musical by Mitch Leigh and Joe Darion, MAN OF LA MANCHA, "When I was growing up, I really wanted to play Aldonza in The Man of La Mancha, but I think my odds of being cast as a Spanish whore are also quite slight."

Adams is no stranger to musicals, having played the misplaced Disney princess in Enchanted (2007) in which she sang two Oscar-nominated songs, one of which she performed at the 2008 Academy Awards ceremony. Additionally, she portrayed the Baker's Wife in INTO THE WOODS at the Public Theatre in July 2012.
