As a lifelong musical theater enthusiast who grew up with the original Broadway cast recording of “Wicked” on repeat, I can confidently say that Jon M. Chu‘s film adaptation has exceeded all my expectations. Having seen the stage production numerous times and even playing Elphaba in a local community theatre production, I can attest to the emotional depth and raw talent displayed by Cynthia Erivo as she belts out “I’m Not That Girl.”
Watching Chu’s tweet about his emotional experience during a screening of the film brought me right back to my own tears-streaming moments in the theatre. The power of music and storytelling never ceases to amaze me, and it’s evident that the Wicked team has poured their hearts into this project.
As we eagerly await the release of “Wicked: For Good” in November, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for what’s to come. With the stakes high and the emotional impact of the second act, I have no doubt that audiences will be moved to tears once again. And if you haven’t yet had the pleasure of experiencing Wicked, now is the perfect time to catch up with the first movie on digital and prepare yourself for the journey ahead.
On a lighter note, as someone who has spent countless hours memorizing lyrics and perfecting choreography, I can’t help but wonder if Jon M. Chu will be as emotionally impacted by our reactions to his masterpiece as we are by the story itself. Perhaps he might even break down in a puddle of tears during the standing ovation at the premiere – only time will tell!
In the world of cinema, musical films have a rich and enduring legacy, boasting several award-winning productions among their ranks. The newest entry to this niche genre is none other than Jon M. Chu’s Wicked, which set records at the box office. Eagerly awaited by fans, the sequel doesn’t arrive until a year later, with tantalizing bits of information about the original being released incrementally. For instance, Chu recently shared an “overwhelmingly moving scene” he experienced during a private screening of the film. As a fan, I can hardly contain my excitement!
As a movie critic, I’ve only gleaned a glimpse into the world of “Wicked: For Good,” but what I can share is that it’s set to bring the second act of the beloved Broadway musical to life on the big screen. In an innovative move, the story has been divided into two films, ensuring that every enchanting musical number remains intact. Director Jon M. Chu hinted that “Wicked 2” will offer a well-deserved spotlight to some underappreciated songs from the original score. Recently, the director shared a nostalgic tweet about his personal experience watching the film in theaters, expressing his excitement for what’s yet to come.
Experiencing the heartrending beauty of a packed theater, where everyone sings ‘I’m Not That Girl’ alongside Elphaba on screen, might just be the most moving part of my entire Wicked journey. Movies are captivating, but a Sing-Along Movie is an entirely unique experience I’ve never encountered before – truly breathtaking! 🤧 wow, wow, wow.
I absolutely adore the musical (and its movie version), and hearing this tune truly fills my heart with joy. ‘I’m Not That Girl,’ in Wicked, showcases Elphaba at her most emotionally exposed, aside from her dance with Glinda. It offers Cynthia Erivo a chance to exhibit quiet moments and the depth of her vocal range. It’s wonderful to learn that so many people have been moved by Stephen Schwartz’s cherished composition, and I am certainly among them.
In the musical “Wicked”, the song “I’m Not That Girl” appears roughly halfway through the story as events in Oz begin to take a turn for the worse. Following Doctor Dillamond’s arrest, Shiz students are presented with a lion cub destined to be silenced. Elphaba and Fiyero secretly free the cub and help it escape into the forest. At this point, Cynthia Erivo’s character expresses her heartbreaking feelings of unrequited love for Fiyero, who is already committed to Galinda, her best friend. This song is one of the most moving numbers in “Wicked”.
During the second half of the “Wicked” stage musical, tensions run higher than they did in Act I, making it an even more captivating spectacle for audiences. Come November when “For Good” hits cinemas, audience engagement is bound to reach new heights. It’s also likely that director Jon M. Chu will share a similar excitement as he watches theatergoers react to the story unfolding on screen.
As a devoted theater enthusiast who has spent countless hours watching musical adaptations and attending live performances, I am beyond excited for the upcoming releases of “Wicked” and “For Good.” Having grown up listening to the original cast recordings, I can’t wait to see the first movie adaptation of “Wicked” on digital platforms, and I will definitely be in line for “For Good” when it hits theaters on November 21st. To satisfy my craving for more, I plan to keep an eye out for the 2025 movie release dates for both productions, hoping that they’ll deliver the magical experience I have come to expect from these beloved stories.
