Wicked showed the world why the big screen still needs to be B-I-G!! This film had such phenomenal musical numbers that one couldn’t truly absorb them in a smaller setting. Yes, you can feel the PC Police adding their own vibe to the story but not enough to destroy the flow. The characters showed true depth even in the Land of Oz, producing a tear to this real-world eye. What truly was remarkable was how the spirit of “The Wizard Of Oz” connected with this world’s audience as this theatre was nearly sold out. Quite a remarkable feat in the world of streaming everything. “Wicked” is brilliant, fun and definitely worth going to the theaters to see.
*** – You probably could add another 1/2 star but felt the ending could have used a quick montage before the transformation.
FOOTNOTE- The trailer doesn’t do justice to the film.
