Wicked was wicked
Wife's turn to pick and thought it was a blast. Well... look, I'm not a fan of Joker 2 cause that one just sucked, but this one was nicely done.
From twist of a script, characters being turned around, the blonde being annoying while the Cynthia Erivo played her role so well. Truly impressed.

First of all, we went in thinking the typical blonde, winning it all, and a "fairy god mother" michelle y being asian.... so i was totally jaded. Without any story background, I only know maybe 2 characters from wizard of oz.... so that's my background LOL.

Movie budget was 150 Million and it came out crazy on top at 653 M. That's pretty legit.

Fun fact
- Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth made an appearance. Idina (sang Let it go as Elsa)
-Cynthia Erivo was casted first.
-they spend a lot of time paying tribute to the stage musical as well.
-Director was Jon Chu who did Crazy Rich Asian; Step Up, Now you see me 2.
-the were trying to find the outfit for wiz or oz (jade color tux etc), but no luck, somehow they went into an antique store and found a PERFECT fit outfit. Had a name tag on it; and it was from the author of wizard of oz (wife told me this story, i have to fact check).
-they begged michelle Y to be in this film
-many of the flowers were real / actual flowers (maybe some fake) in the movie and not CGI-ed
-Ariana Grande went thru multiple auditions and was always the most interesting person in the room - as she was never in any huge film.

Side note, i really did NOT like her in the movie. Somehow watching a 30 yr old (totally fine, with a solid singing background (not as good as Cynthia), but no idea why, she was SUPER skinny in the movie, made me feel like she was anorexic did NOT do it for my wife and I.

Did not like her face because of 2 things - extremely long eye lashes.(which meh); wife and I had to think after 40 mins in, but she was missing her eyebrows making it really weird looking at her for 1/2 the movie.

Long story short, without any spoilers, I would love to see this movie win best costume design.

Great film, can't wait for it to come to part 2.
