Wicked

I went yesterday to see Wicked For Good and okay, I have thoughts. 😅Everyone online is either obsessed with it or tearing it apart, and I’m sitting somewhere right in the middle. There were definitely some beautiful moments. But there were also parts where I was like, “Wait… that is it?”

I dragged my friend Lupe with me. She says she hates musicals and she had never seen Act One, so I spent the entire car ride giving her a crash course on the plot and the characters. And during the movie she was absolutely bored out of her mind.

I will admit it was long. Really long. And the new songs were good, they honestly were. But they did not hit the way Act One hits, and if you have seen Act One you know exactly what I mean. That kind of magic is hard to touch. It just was not the earth shattering masterpiece some people made it out to be.

Still, it definitely made me want to go back to Oz again, which, let’s be real, I basically always am anyway.
