I Hate Musicals…

I definitely am not a fan of musicals however……

I really enjoyed this movie. I will say, The Wizard of OZ is a classic and I do enjoy it even though it is also a musical. It was cool seeing the parallels and nods to the OG movie.

The story was good and the music was actually catchy.

The costumes and visuals were so good. It really was an immersive experience which is crazy because it is just an outlandish concept. (which I know is the point)

All and all I enjoyed it.

I am excited for the next one to come out!

8/10 rating!Land of Oz

2025/7/17 Edited to

... Read moreWicked is a popular musical adaptation inspired by the Land of Oz, known for its compelling storyline and memorable songs. Despite initial reservations about musicals, viewers often find Wicked’s narrative and music to be engaging and immersive, blending fantasy and emotional depth seamlessly. The film features striking costumes and visuals that transport audiences into a vividly imagined world, enhancing the outlandish but captivating concept. The parallels to the classic Wizard of Oz add layers of nostalgia and meaningful connections to the original story, making it appealing to both new viewers and longtime fans. Musicals like Wicked often use catchy tunes and dynamic performances to tell complex stories, breaking the stereotype that musicals are only for dedicated fans of the genre. For non-fans, the key lies in how music advances the plot and develops characters, as seen in Wicked's effective storytelling. Understanding the cultural significance and innovative production elements of musicals can help viewers appreciate their artistic value. Wicked, in particular, showcases creative choreography, engaging music scores, and dramatic storytelling, all of which contribute to its critical acclaim and audience approval. If anyone hesitant about musicals gives Wicked a chance, they may be pleasantly surprised by its artistic quality and entertaining experience, as highlighted by varied reviews and high ratings from diverse audiences.
