Nona Lisa I really don't like Ariana G so I'm probably not going to watch it. And I do mean I REALLY don't like her. She's cringe for me. Just her being there will ruin it for me. Ever feel that way about someone? I also don't like Amber Turd. Julia Roberts is another one but I don't boycott her stuff. I just usually skip it.

Brandon Reed Yeah, I like Ariana Grande's voice, but I don't like a lot of her music because of its composition and writing. And I don't think we'd have a lot to talk about in real life, lol.

Nona Lisa I agree. I didn't want to say too much but I truly feel like she's a nasty, rude, entitled human being and I have zero respect for her. God gave her a beautiful talent so I don't respect her for having a good voice. It was a gift that she has used to make a bunch of money which she seems to think makes her better than everyone else.

Connor Veenstra I wonder how they’ll handle the run time. Stage shows are usually like 3+ hours long with an intermission, so I wonder what they’ll cut or condense.

Brandon Reed They're splitting it into two movies.

Brandon Reed I think they're actually expanding it, adding more dialogue and world-building from the book, and stuff.

Nona Lisa My daughter and I saw Wicked on stage. It was brilliant. I don't think the movies will do it justice. Let's hope I'm wrong.

Dawn I seen wicked on broadway NYC. I am looking forward to seeing it in the movies. It’s probably going to be a little different but that’s ok. It looks gorgeous on the previews ✌️

Isabelle M Everyone applauded at the end! I’m not a fan of Ariana grande and had very low expectations. I was wrong, she actually nailed it and didn’t make the movie cheesy or anything at all! It was perfect. I see why they chose her to play that role. I also have to say I’m not a fan of musicals at all and did see wicked at NYC and it’s exactly like the musical but better and more detailed! This movie is the only musical I’ve actually enjoyed throughout! Very hooked and you don’t get bored at all! I was very surprised! I didn’t think I would leave the theatre saying it’s one of my favorite movies, definitely is one of my favs. Universal Studios really hit home run on this one.
