Wicked: A Magical Disaster or a Dream Come True? Movie Review

"Wicked" is a musical reimagining of the classic story of The Wizard of Oz, but told from the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba.
The story begins at Shiz University in the Land of Oz, where Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman with green skin, befriends the popular and seemingly perfect Glinda. Their friendship is tested when they encounter the mysterious Wizard of Oz and their paths diverge. Elphaba discovers her incredible magical powers and becomes the iconic Wicked Witch of the West, while Glinda becomes the beloved Glinda the Good. As their destinies unfold, Elphaba grapples with her identity, her power, and the complex nature of good and evil.
"Wicked" has been a hugely successful stage musical for over two decades, and the expectations for the film adaptation were understandably high. Many fans and critics agree that the film largely lives up to the hype, delivering a visually stunning and musically captivating experience but did it have any missing components?

Thank you for this! I grew up on the Wizard of Oz, like you, it was on in our house every Christmas and Easter. I would read the book every year as a child. I would dress up as Dorothy. I saw Wicked on stage, in the West End but was left feeling underwhelmed. I couldn’t remember the songs apart from Defying Gravity. I’m not a musical fan in general, I prefer a film with an awesome soundtrack but this was GOOD. Cynthia and Ariana were sublime. I was not expecting to love Ariana’s performance as much as I did and Cynthia was mesmerising, could not take my eyes off her. Perfect 🩷💚 Oz as a city was executed exactly as I imagined it, just chefs kiss😘 The scene with them running through the tulips, echoing the Poppy Field scene in Wizard of Oz stunning. @mayadones I too cried and cried. 😭😭😭I wasn’t expecting it to be so emotional. It hit hard. Trembling leaving the cinema. I am so watching it again
