I don't know much about the musical but I learned recently that the part is given to a man.

Ngl the idea of a woman being made up to be ugly (and "large") comes with a lot of baggage with that part but that still sits better with me than casting a man. But as I said, I don't know the musical and all the traditions built around it. So I'm not gonna judge from that angle. I AM gonna judge from the point of view that Ralph Fiennes seems like a weird choice.

It's the Royal Shakespeare Company and it was their Christmas production so I reckon it was their tradition of gender-blind casting & panto tradition which led to Bertie Carvel as Trunchball (he was absolutely stunning though)

I have no doubt there are many older, larger female actors out there who'd kill for a chance to play Trunchball. I'd definitely love to see it happen.
