Top 10 Other Musicals Anna Kendrick Should Star In

This week it was announced that Pitch Perfect star Anna Kendrick is set to star in another musically inclined movie: an adaptation of hit Broadway show The Last Five Years. Having been nominated for a Tony at the tender age of 12, as well as become a Tumblr-gay icon, the announcement is nothing short of Awesome.

In fact, it’s the kind of thing dreams are made of, and we can only hope it’s just the beginning of a long line of Kendrick-centric song and dance numbers.

So here are some more musicals we’d squee ourselves to see her star in:

1. A Very Potter Musical

Made famous by none other than Glee‘s Darren Criss, the parody musical’s take on Hermione isn’t unlike the Very Purposeful Typist Kendrick played in Up in the Air. Plus, a Kendrick-Potter combo would make just about every nerd on the planet’s heart burst. Plus-plus, it’d make up for the actress’s stint as a Twilight character. Tenfold.

2. 9 to 5

Have you followed her tweets? She has badass written all over her. Also, hilarity. Also-also, irreverence and wit. So what better way to showcase these qualities than to have her take down a misogynistic douche-boss? It’d be like Camp‘s Fritzi, reborn. Only maybe a little less, you know, evil-evil.

3. Victor Victoria

I mean, she’s already beloved by all the gays, so she might as well go full-throttle. …Can you imagine the Lesbian Reaction? Theatres’d have to install fainting couches. …I’d have to bring my inhaler, even…

4. My Fair Lady

Regardless of how Red Carpet-ready she always looks, Kendrick often describes herself as painfully awkward and sweatpants-bound on the daily. This calls for the chance to witness said awkwardness and frumpiness on the big screen and to the tune of “Just You Wait, Henry Higgins,” no?

5. Cats

Face it. Anna Kendrick is the only person who could make this musical okay.

6. The Lord of the Rings: The Musical

There is no such musical; however, Kendrick has confessed to hosting annual LoTR Extended Version marathons. So. I mean. She’s already practically hobbit-sized. Or very-small-yet-powerful-elf-sized.

7. Funny Girl

8. Wicked
