Last week, our friends Marissa and Aaron invited us over to watch the film "Wicked" which we saw as a live performance at the Kennedy Center years ago. The movie was INCREDIBLE. Today's blog includes the trailer, and 2 Amazing Background videos (singing live on set and auditions)!!
MY TAKE ON IT: It's part 1 of 2 (the latter will be out November 2025), and it's a MUST-SEE. I'm an emotional guy, so of course several parts brought me to tears. However, Tom isn't as emotional, and even he teared up. The music, the acting, the scenery, the characters - Brilliant!!! There also seems to be a lot of scenes that were not performed on stage (as each performance would likely have been 5 hours instead of 2, live). So, those are likely the chapters in the book we didn't know of before. The villains are not someone you expect them to be, and you'll find yourself cheering and respect Elphaba more than any other character. It was brilliant.
As one person wrote: Outstanding movie. 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Ariana reminds me of Reese Witherspoon in this film. She was perfect for the part. Elphaba's voice is perfect.

ABOUT THE FILM: Misunderstood because of her green skin, a young woman named Elphaba forges an unlikely but profound friendship with Glinda, a student with an unflinching desire for popularity. Following an encounter with the Wizard of Oz, their relationship soon reaches a crossroad as their lives begin to take very different paths.
