Something Wicked This Week Cometh...

1. This week, on November 21st, Wicked will once again take over the screens. The eagerly awaited second installment of the Wicked move, Wicked: For Good will finally conclude the story. After more than two decades in development, the iconic Broadway musical Wicked finally took flight in 2024 on the big screen. Directed by Jon M. Chu and released by Universal Pictures, the first film became a global hit, and now the magic continues with Wicked: For Good. Are you excited to see this second movie?

Yes, very excited

Sort of

Not really

I saw the first film, and not sure I'll see this one

Never heard about it at all

2. With the original stage musical running nearly three hours, condensing it into one film proved impossible. Rather than compromise the story or beloved songs, Chu chose to honor the show's two-act structure by creating two full-length movies — Wicked and Wicked: For Good. Do you wish more movies based on books or stage shows would do this, to honour the original story?

Yes

No

Unsure

Couldn't care less about movies

3. Wicked: For Good features two new original songs: "The Girl in the Bubble", sung by Ariana Grande as Glinda, and "No Place Like Home", sung by Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. Both tracks were composed by the original Broadway composer, Stephen Schwartz. Do you appreciate when movies based on musical theatre adds some original songs to their soundtrack?

Yes, the more songs the better, especially when done by the original composer

Yes

Not sure

No, stick to the original soundtrack

Not into musicals
