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!
