Wicked Review

‘Wicked’ Defies Gravity to Bring the Stage Musical to Screens With Resounding Success The first part of the adaptation of the wildly successful theatre production is itself a welcome translation to movie format and features stirring lead performances.

Opening in theaters on November 22nd, ‘Wicked’ attempts the ambitious task of bringing the multiple Tony award-winning stage show to screens in two parts (the second will arrive in November next year). Directed by Jon M. Chu, this musical (yes, it’s definitely a musical despite the trailers and TV spots typically downplaying that concept driven by the fear that audiences don’t always turn out to musical movies given advance notice), hopes to replicate the huge success of the original stage production. But can it?
