Whatever spell Chu used, it worked because
Wicked: For Good works for good on so many levels. It’s gloriously, deliciously good.
Universal releases the film into theaters on November 21.
Some might even argue that it’s a tighter, more thrilling, more exciting film than
Wicked.
Yes, it’s romantic, yes, it’s a musical and yes it’s a thriller. Boy, does it thrill.
Wicked 2 is certainly far superior to the second act of the stage show that’s still running on Broadway and in London’s West End.
And, Cynthia Erivo is, in Chu’s words, “a badass,” and both she and Grande are class acts. The audience at the private screening I attended in London applauded as the final credits rolled. It’s truly one of the year’s outstanding movies. It’s a marvellous piece of cinematic art. And, by George, it’s just what we need. The joys are, to steal a line from a song, unlimited.
