Gaga's J:FAD is gone, Selena's Emilia Pérez is gone but Ariana's Wicked is still standing... who would have thought.

Girl,I wish you guys saw how reddit were mocking and laughing at Ariana when she was being in discussion for BSA alongside with Gaga and Selena last month. One of them said like Ariana campaigning for BSA is like someone applying for Harvard with a 0.9 GPA. Now they're eating crow.

This was stunning! Exceeded my expectations. So proud of Queen Ari

Got my ticket for tonight.

the way I went from not interested at all to absolutely hyped to see this in a matter of days... shame it comes out two weeks later in Germany. 

wait what, I wanted to go this weekend  not me finding out about this just now

I never get these regional release dates, it feels like by the time the movie hits the theater the hype is already gone

Going alone 

Don't be sad sis and enjoy the movie, I will probably have to go alone as well.  

 

One of my friends, who always goes to the movies with me, decided she doesn't want to see Wicked anymore because it's not her "kind of movie", even though we talked about seeing the movie together months ago and I asked her like twice about it, so **** it.

 

I'd rather go alone now instead of getting upset over that kindergarten behavior.

No need to be sad. I honestly think seeing this kinda movie alone would be better, if you like musicals. Can truly be yourself. 

[Matchatea]

It's ok to go alone tbh! Wanna see wicked by myself first and then with friends….. sounds weird but I think seeing it with friends for the first time would be overstimulating. Plus you can take it in!!!

[Tusk]

I'll be at the 6pm showing at the Angelika with my large popcorn and coke

I went on Monday with this guy who is into me, but trying to remain friends. That **** was annoying af ngl. Anytime I went to go whisper something he tried to touch lips or touch hands while eating popcorn. I should've gone by myself  

 

On top of that, he knew all the songs and he would sing them along. Like ***** I'm trying to hear Ariana

I watched it alone a couple of hours ago and trust me, it didn't make the movie any less magnificent!

 

Non-spoiler review: all of the criticisms against this film were debunked! From the color-grading, musical performances, to the acting, WICKED DELIVERED 💯 GREATNESS! 😭

 

I knew Ariana would body G(a)linda but my goodness, Cynthia's Elphaba was just exquisite. Both these ladies are very much deserving of the acclaim they're getting. 👏🏼

ugh

 

This is why I stay single and travel alone. People just can't keep it together.

 

back on topic:  I'm excited to see the plot flow of the lightness to darkness…Part 2 better be a dark masterpiece.

[Broken]

Guys, do you think one of the songs will become a hit?

 

I want this to be her ASIB era:

 

Acclaimed box office smash

Acting nom, BOS nom

and a hit song.

It's the best. You can see whatever YOU want with no pushback  and it's not like you're there to socialize during the movie .

Hmm, honestly I don't see it. ASIB's soundtrack is pop adjacent because the main antagonist is a pop star. 
 

Wicked's music is very theatrical and based on the current hot 100, I doubt this will be consumed by the GP as they did with ASIB. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

Same. Like it's too much. I accidentally touch his feet and he tries to move his closer and stuff. Thank God he doesn't initiate stuff and was trying to get me to initiate. Can't have friends nowadays

Honestly, no. I mean it depends what it sounds like in the soundtrack. I can see Defying Gravity (if it's done well without the speaking parts) becoming somewhat of a hit but maybe not on a "We Don't Talk About Bruno" or "Shallow" kind of way. Like a cute 12-15 week chart with a high peak.

 

Spoiler

There were also no original songs, so no BOS nomination.

The songs can't get nominated for best original song, can they? They're not original to the movie.

I kinda hoped a new original song was included just for the Oscar nod (and potential hit) but that's not the case 

[Shinkirou]

Got tickets for Saturday. I don't like musicals so I'm just looking forward to some visual candy and Ari's vocals

[rta1913]

Going tomorrow again 

 

I thoguht two showings in a week would be a bit much cause the movie is very long but I am hyped! It was suche a great movie and the rewatchability is there. This will also be a hit when it hits streaming

None of the songs in part 1 can be nominated, but part 2 is supposed to have 2 new songs

[Thuggin]

Part 2 potentially having original songs is smart considering the most well known songs are in Part 1. I'm also glad they're not waiting more than a year between releases.
