So do not worry all, I am not turning into a film reviewer. However I have seen wicked the theatre show in London 5 times and when I heard it was on at the cinema, I had to be there to see it.
The cinema release features Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, playing Glinda and Elphaba. The cinema allows for a lot more space than a theatre stage and can provide greater scope and greater effects to be used such as cgi. I won’t put the story in as you can see the theatre show, read the book or watch it at the cinema.
The cinema release was superb, however one aspect the theatre show does better is the glitz and glamour during one short day. The acting and singing by both Ariana and Elphaba was amazing. I knew the songs well from the Theatre show and it was interesting to see how this was choreographed and performed. I would say Glinda in the cinema release appears a bit meaner than the theatre show. I loved from the cinema release, Popular and the Wizard and I. The energy from all the actors was amazing. The effects and scenery were amazing.
I was blown away by the ending of the film but I won’t spoil it. This is a cinema release you must see, it has it all, especially for a musical fan. If you haven’t seen the stage show, please do. Lets now go to the Emerald city.
