Love the book. Not nuts for the musical on stage -- some amazing themes but not sure it totally works. But I've loved what Chu has done so far and the Cynthia Erivo is a fucking goddess! So, we'll see. I have medium expectations, but it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow so I'm looking forward to it.
We’re going to the movies on Thanksgiving. All my girls are picking Wicked. I’m praying to Oz there’s something else I can watch. Saw the play many moons ago. Don’t need to see the movie.
Did you ever read the book?
I’ve read maybe half, maybe more than half of the original Baum series, but no, I’ve not read the Wicked book.
The first Wicked book is outstanding.

The film adaptation of the musical is wonderful! I like it more than the stage version. Partly because of the exceptional cast, and partly because of the extra time spent weaving in stuff from the novel that the stage show doesn't have time for.

This movie is fantastic. I could go on forever about what I liked and disliked but I imagine no one here cares.

Highly recommend. :heartbeat:
the Wicked musical is my favourite thing ever of all time in history

I'm seeing the movie tonight, I'll report back! I'm going in full witch bitch cosplay

I won’t be watching both movies. Gladiator 2 I’ll watch it maybe on Stremio and I don’t see myself watching Wicked in my life. ( maybe on a plane )

I'm psyched for Gladiator II. All I needed to see was sharks in the colosseum and I was sold hard. I never do theaters anymore, but my friend is coming in for Thanksgiving and he wants to see it so we'll probably go.

I'm with ya. Ridley tends to vigorously defend even the most mad aspects of his movies as historically accurate, though, so it's kind of funny to poke at it

Yet another insult to the glory of the Roman empire. I will not be watching.

YEEEEES! I love it!

I really hope you love it as much (or more!) than I did! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it! Especially since you're a huge fan of the stage musical. Be very interested to see what you think. :heartbeat:

Gladiator II would be better with an actually charismatic protagonist
