Last month, WICKED: FOR GOOD, the second part of the film adaptation of the global musical phenomenon Wicked, finally arrived in cinemas.
The film, directed by Jon M Chu, stars Cynthia Erivo (The Color Purple) as Elphaba, Ariana Grande (13 the Musical) as Glinda, and Jonathan Bailey (Company) as Fiyero. The supporting cast also includes Marissa Bode, Ethan Slater, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum.
In the second of a new series called WICKED WEEKENDS, to take place over the next few weekends, Mickey-Jo is talking through as many of the changes made to the musical's 2nd act and the ensuing differences between the stage production and the film adaptation that he was able to notice over the course of his two viewings of Wicked: For Good.
Make sure to SUBSCRIBE for more Wicked content coming on Weekends until the end of the month and share your thoughts about the film in the comments!
