Universal Pictures might have scored a home run with their cinematic musical Wicked. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the movie has earned a lot of positive responses from the critics. From the minds of the director, Jon M. Chu Wicked held a preview screening, and the reviews are now surfacing on the internet.
The movie is getting a lot of praise; the most notable of such praises came from Kristin Chenoweth, who originally played the character of Glinda in the Broadway musical. In her post, Chenoweth mentions that she will be counting down the days until the world sees Cynthia and Ariana in Jon M. Chu’s film. Furthermore, she mentions that it will change the viewers when they see it.
The movie is a musical, and while musicals are enjoyable to a select group of audiences, it is being claimed that even non-musical lovers will be able to enjoy it.
Grande’s performance is being praised by all for her absolutely hilarious performance. Even before, Grande was being considered a pick for Oscars. The movie is indeed a spectacle, according to the audience. To say the least, the transition from the Broadway musical to the movie is quite tough. As many considered the two mediums to be very different than each other,
Cynthia Erivo as Glinda hits all the right notes. The movie is already being called the best Broadway adaptation to date, surpassing the hype of Mamma Mia and Chicago.
The movie will be available for public eyes on November 22.
