I was preparing myself for a big disappointment but I LOVED this movie adaptation of Wicked. I thought the casting was terrific. I know the show by heart but still found it moving. I laughed, I cried and sang along quietly :)
For once, great casting, great adaptation. I will go as far as saying that it is an improvement from the stage show in a way because being on screen means the magic really comes alive. The costumes and the world created are really enchanting and the ending of part 1 was very satisfying, which means Part 2 can wait for a bit.
