I’m just annoyed at how all of a sudden people are Wicked fans. It’s been a massive hit broadway show for over 2 decades. It toured in pretty much every American city. I saw it in Des Moines, Iowa for 40 dollars back then. It is not some crazy new franchise people, it was just marketed like crazy because they wanted their own barbie movie.

But Americans think going to see a live show is pretentions and musicals are stupid. Unless advertisers shove pink and green in their faces for hours on end, then all of a sudden Wicked is the best thing everrrrr

Some people just don’t live theater, that doesn’t mean people are wrong for liking it as a film. And I would posit that the majority of the hype you are seeing for the film is because of its history as a Broadway hit.
