If you are a music theatre, Wicked, the Wizard of Oz, and/or fan of anyone cast in the movie (especially Arianators), you most likely will have a really fun time seeing Wicked.” This gives positive feedback on how this movie is a good eye watching film.
If you are a fan of wicked or the Oz mythology this is likely to be a must-watch just be prepared for their inevitable comparisons to the stage version.
