wicked is one of the most overrated musicals of the 21st century and definitely does not merit a two-part movie adaptation. hard pass for me tbh

The shot of Boq lol stop. I am a lil excited for this though I won’t lie, but I do think two parts is stupid.

I swear when I saw a trailer in theatres they didn't even mention it was a P1, in addition to hiding all the musical numbers

[sarafina126]

I feel like this is one of the few musical movies that is not hiding it's a musical at all considering the trailer showcases two of the songs and dance numbers, but it's completely hiding that it is a part 1 and that's incredibly stupid.

I hope this is good but will probably always think it would have been better if Ariana hadn't elbowed her way in

Smh at all the wrong answers. There are dozens of us, OP!

I am just so adamantly against 2-part movies. I'm a fan of musicals and when both part 1 and 2 are out I will probably watch them but I think they will always suffer with pacing issues etc. A story typically having 3 acts and splitting into two parts will inevitably end up with problems. I also resent the cash grab aspect.

I can respect that. I've never read the book (in full) or seen the play so I thought 2 acts was justified but hearing that it isn't, I'm still excited bc I liked the music.

Two acts work in the musical because Act 1 is before she's considered "The Wicked Witch" and Act 2 is after. Not a lot happens in Act 2 because it's mostly running through The Wizard of Oz (1939) from Elphaba's POV. I personally love both acts, but to fill in a whole movie involves us watching stuff that was cut from the musical for a reason. Get ready to watch The Wizard of Oz (1939) again.
