Wicked Movie Review ๐Ÿซง๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ’š

After years of waiting, the Wicked movie is finally here! I saw it on its official release date and it was absolutely stunning! The costumes, the set, the little nods to Wizard of Oz! I will say it was very long (especially since itโ€™s only Act 1), but I can really see why. It gives more detail and time to parts in the musical that couldnโ€™t be given on stage.

And as someone whoโ€™s seen the musical on Broadway twice, it was SOO cool seeing how they adapted specific moments onto the screen! And seeing Ariana Grande as Glinda absolutely warmed my heart! She got me through one of the toughest times of my life, and it was beautiful watching her happiness flourish through a role sheโ€™s wanted for so long. As a theatre girly, I know that feeling all too well, and Iโ€™m so happy for her.

What did you think of Wicked?
