My cousin and I planned to see the Wicked movie since last autumn, and finally went yesterday. I’ve never seen the musical, but I’ve read Wizard of Oz, seen the beloved film with Judy Garland and heard parts of the musical soundtrack for years. Now I just want to blast the movie soundtrack on a loop.

The film was amazing, and Wicked is now my current musical obsession. Here are my topmost thoughts:

🩷The storytelling is great. Love the twist on the original book by Frank L. Baum
💚The movie made me want to read the book the musical is based on
🩷Had a hard time understanding Ariana Grande’s lyrics when she sung really high
💚I am now a little in love with Fiyero
🩷There are a lot of great nods to both the original book and film
💚 Jonathan Bailey’s performance was awing
🩷 I just want to join in the discussion of all the literary critique towards Wizard of Oz (but I’m sure I wouldn’t have anything new to add)
💚 Do I really have to wait until the end of the year to see part 2?

Have you seen the film?
