The moment musical fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. The Broadway masterpiece ‘Wicked’ is being released as a movie, with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo taking the lead roles, heightening the anticipation. This film offers a different charm from the musical, leading audiences into a magical world.
Ariana Grande, playing Glinda, exudes a cute and lovable charm befitting her status as a pop icon, and her rendition of ‘Popular’ is simply adorable. Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo powerfully expresses Elphaba’s deep inner world, captivating audiences with her powerful vocals in ‘Defying Gravity.’
The movie features all the actors performing the songs live, providing audiences with the feel of a real performance. The set was custom-built to function as a recording studio simultaneously. Director Jon M. Chu expressed confidence, stating, “It will be like watching the best performance from a VIP seat.”
Jonathan Bailey takes on the role of Fiyero, forming a love line with the two main characters, while Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh respectively play the Wizard and Madame Morrible, adding delightful elements to the film. Additionally, Korean musical actors participate in the dubbed version, adding another layer of enjoyment.
Notably, the production team boasts the film’s scale by planting 9 million tulips and constructing the 58-ton Emerald City Express. These efforts provide audiences with a fantastic visual experience.
The only potential challenge might be the 2-hour and 40-minute running time, but experiencing this new format of content in special theaters could be a great choice. The movie ‘Wicked’ is set to be released on November 20, suitable for all ages. Look forward to the story of the magical world that will unfold.
