I was looking forward to seeing this movie because the broadway version is so good. However, after seeing the movie the Broadway version is so much better. Even with all the special effects the movie has, it didnโt capture the emotion of the characters. There was one scene where Elphaba dances on her own and that did, but that was 1 scene out of an entire movie. To me none of the lead actors looked the age they were supposed to be. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were very good but somehow theyโre emotion didnโt come through. Even though the singing was โliveโ it was still auto-tuned which takes away the emotion. Cynthia Erivo is supposed to be a younger version of the wicked witch but didnโt look anything like her. Though Jonathan Bailey is very talented there was no chemistry between he and Glinda and Elphaba. All in all in my opinion it wasnโt bad at all but because of the broadway show version it didnโt come close.
