I watched Wicked. Didn’t realise it was only half the story. I’d seen the stage show some years ago, and whilst I didn’t entirely remember the story I was pretty sure it was all dragging a bit too slowly in the movie, and then it ends with a ‘to be continued’. Elephaba was better acted and sung than Glinda, with Ariannas extreme thinness and odd face being a bit uncanny valley, which distracted from letting the character take over. Colours and costumes were nice. 3/5 Totos.
