What crap?

What crap?

Simple joke. While all the hullabaloo about Wicked and high-pitched singing commercials are mildly annoying, I wish all my theater peeps joy in viewing.

Watched it last night and both the bride and I enjoyed it a lot. I know I'll be in the minority in this, but I wasn't crazy about the music/songs. They were all good, yes..... but not great or memorable, like the ones in The Greatest Showman. Not a big Jeff Goldblum fan, but he was quite good in his part. Loved the train.

4.5 out of 5 stars

Ariana Grande says she will be performing a new Glinda song in ‘WICKED: FOR GOOD’, written by Stephen Schwartz. “It’s a pivotal moment in Glinda’s journey. It shows a side of her we’ve never seen before. In the stage show, this transformation happens offstage. But in the movie, we get to see her make the decision that defines who she is. It’s a privilege to sing this song and be the first Glinda to bring it to life.”(Source: https://variety.com/2025/film/awards/ariana-grande-wicked-2-original-song-eternal-sunshine-deluxe-release-1236271770/…)

that's funny because I love Jeff Goldblum but I didn't like his acting in this one. it seemed low energy. hopefully like Jurassic park he's better in the 2nd one.

well never heard of this person. but I think they are off their rocker. I don't think that every broadway production is adaptable to producing as a movie. Wicked is an alternate story of one of the biggest Hollywood Productions ever created. it only makes sense that it was made into a movie. I saw Wicked at the west end. It was hard to keep up with, but I loved it and I've since heard the soundtrack countless times on family road trips. everyone in my family thought that the movie would be a bust and then ended up loving it.
