Just returned from watching the highly anticipated movie "Wicked" as a Girls' night out, and it was definitely worth the wait. The movie was a musical and the music was amazing with both lead actresses' amazing voices! i.e Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
I also enjoyed the set design with an interesting storyline that is the 'back story' of the Wicked Witch of the West from the "Wizard of Oz" book that I read as a child. The origin story was written by L. Frank Braum who's initials were used to name the main character of LFB or Alphaba.
It was also a hit Broadway Production that I remember seeing advertised in Melbourne when we were there last in Australia. It's still also being showcased in Musical Theatres around the world and something I'd definitely watch.
It's only Part 1, so we anticipate that there's probably an upcoming Part 2. (Spoiler alert!). I guessed that the Wizard of Oz is actually the biological father of Alphaba but my entourage don't agree so I guess we'll wait until the next movie instalment. However, as a seasoned writer, there were enough clues to given but I'm happy to stand corrected if this is not the case.
Over all a neat evening out as we watched the last show of the evening and it was a fairly long movie at just under 3 hours but there was plenty of drama to keep us watching. Some of the songs were outstanding with one called "Gravity". Comes highly recommended if you like musicals and theatre and something just a little different...
