Ddd. The book is wonderful and the musical is a total chop job of it. The show is saved by wonderful music and performances but the script is actually a bit of a mess (which the film largely fixed and I can't wait for how they improve upon Act II.) The book totally deserves like an 8 part HBO Mini Series.
Yeah don't get me wrong I would be here for a dark TV adaptation of the book, as I think it would work well on screen. I just found it a hard read. One of my main gripes was how Gregory Maguire seemed to constantly make the characters do something unpleasant or refer to them in a derogatory way and it just was a bummer.
or a poppers o'clock remix
I’m shocked they didn’t release a radio edit version of the soundtrack to boost streaming numbers.
Wicked made a remarkable debut in Japan, collecting an estimated $3.6 million during its three-day opening weekend. The musical fantasy grossed $1.3 million on Sunday, with a drop of only -2.5% from Saturday. According to Luiz Fernando’s report, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s film has bested the debut weekend collection of Timothee Chalamet’s Wonka, which collected $2.9 million. It has registered the biggest opening for a live-action musical post-COVID, beating Wonka.
This will take Wicked total to ~737 M$ Worldwide
