I loved, loved, loved this musical. I would give this movie 5 stars based on its own merit, not comparing it to other movies that I love as much or more. I loved the Broadway musical, but this movie gives the characters much more depth and helps to define things that weren’t as clear with the Broadway musical. Elphaba made me cry in many spots, no dialogue needed. The subtle pain in Elphaba’s eyes drew me in and melted my heart.❤
