@@Horus070Funny thing is people don’t realize how the musical has changed over time. I saw it the opening week OFF BROADWAY, talk about dark. I returned opening NIGHT on Broadway, 1/2 of the show had changed. No joke. It was fun to watch them curb the darkness and give in to society, especially now to be able to turn it into a FILM, 😂, there is no way the book could be a film.
@manticore57337 ай бұрын
@@Horus070 I found the first book rather flawed: excellent potential but poor writing around some of the 'dark' adult topics* which almost made me give up reading it. Also felt there was a missed opportunity to change the ending (i.e. make it a fake-out - which would have made the events more sensible and fit the character of Elphaba better). The musical side steps those topics and presents a more family-friendly story - yes, it could have lent into the moralistic role reversal a bit more to preserve that aspect of the story but the general plot is there, just not as serious as it could have been. [*Before anyone critiques my opinion there is no way I could have written it better, but I've certainly read better.]

What a cliffhanger for those not familiar with the stage production. The trailer looks very good. There was talk, I've heard about having an actual woman of color playing the role of Elphaba.
