Ok, the title sounds confusing. I’m just late to the game. I haven’t watched the Broadway play; I only heard the songs via pop culture (think Glee), and I didn’t know any of the story.
My review? Unlimited. 10/10. Defying all the Gravity.
At this point, I know every song, every musical note as a cue, and all the lyrics. I wake up singing it, go to sleep singing it, and shower listening to the soundtrack. At this point, just cast me in the SNL version of the Broadway musical because my belts are unmatched in quality. No one said it was good; I just said it’s unmatched.
I am a little conflicted on the story, but maybe it’s because I only know half of it. I don’t usually love Ariana Grande, but she is Glinda as much as RDJ is Iron Man. There will not be another one. I have watched comparison videos, behind-the-scenes videos, rehearsals, and so much more. If you, like me, are having a moment of wanting to paint yourself green, hop on your broom and fly away; I am here to tell you I am with you in solidarity. Even Peter Dinklage’s song won’t get in my way of looking to the Western Sky for support.GO SEE WICKED! It’s a magical experience and a wonderful movie sure to get Oscar nominations out the wazoo. Set Design, make-up, costume, cinematography, music… all the things. Be Oprah and give them everything so they can keep Dancing Through Life!

Growing up NOT in civilization in the mountains of West Virginia, Michelle found adventure in books, movies and games. She was raised very untraditionally on Star Trek: The Original Series, and Monty Python’s Flying Circus. She found the Harry Potter books to be her one true obsession, and discovered gaming with her family would be some of the best memories she could hope for. Now living in Texas, she is still trying to find her passion in her career, but her hobbies remain the same.
