This movie is going to suck. The story is pretty ridiculous. Most people can forgive it because most people don't see very many of these big plays, and the spectacle takes them in.
Also, there are no memorable songs besides Defying Gravity.

who is doing it? Aren't MGM/WB nazis about the film versions of oz characters?
I fingered my gf in the back of the bus on the way back from seeing this in Chicago thirteen years ago.
For Good is also a good song.
I'll fight you. Wicked is one of the best spectacle plays ever made, with great characterization to boot. Plus all the songs are amazing wtf are you talking about (minus one short day)
>No memorable songs besides gravity
POPULAR! YOUR GONNA BE POPULAR!
Not to mention For Good is extremely subdued and powerful with amazing lyrics
It's got to be public domain at this point, right?
this. way way better than that overrated shit Hamilton
The story and works of the book are. The image portrayals in the film are not. The Witch being green is a movie concept, not a book one. Red slippers too, they're silver in the book. The design of emerald city, some characters, the judy garland movie did invent and bend things that are copyrighted.
Who's going to play Hilda?
Tay Tay
Amanda Seyfried
Anna Kendrick
The musical was really good and a fun spin on an old story. The songs were catchy and as says there are other good songs like For Good, Popular, No One Mourns The Wicked
Man it's all so good.
Can't believe no one has mentioned Dancing Through Life
Popular and What is this Feeling are both songs I know of and enjoy even though I've never seen it or listened to the track I just know the songs.
Grease is the most popular musical of all time and it got a movie that's probably the most popular musical movie of all time and it has zero plot and two memorable songs at best.
it has a charismatic as fuck protagonist with a well developed arc tho
not to sound like a tremendous fag but
>no memorable songs beside defying gravity
>what is for good
>what is popular
>what is no good deed
>what is dancing through life
over half the songs are absolute bangers
>Dove Cameron Glinda
>Samantha Barks Elphaba
do it hollywood, you fucks, don't you fucking give me Emma Watson Glinda you flying jewish faggots
>What is this Feeling
THERE'S BEEN SOME CONFUSION OVER ROOMING HERE AT CHITZ
For Free? is also a good song.
>THIS, DICK, AIN'T FREEeeeEEEEEeee
If it gets me blowjobs then I don't care
Meryl Streep as Elphaba, Kate Beckinsale as Glinda
>with great characterization to boot
I was with it until, it expects me to accept the witch faking her death and living happily ever after with the scarecrow.
That is not an image I wanted or needed in my head.
>no memorable songs
>Popular
>As Long As You're Mine
>Dancing Through Life
>No Good Deed
>not memorable
have a (You), you baiting faggot
What Is This Feeling? is pretty great, desu
nah bruh the songs are good
no homo, wicked is dope
Needs more overt lesbians.
Dr. Dillamond is a hardcore faggot.
Are they lesbians or am I getting worked up over nothing as usual?
In the books. Probably not in the musical.
Well.
Fuck that noise then. Tell me about those books.
I read the first one. It was pretentious hipster shit.
I don't think there's much /u/. They kiss once, maybe.
That shit's almost 80 years old, fucking Disney.
Nothing wrong with /u/ goggles sis.
Mine is the face of disappointment.
Back to searching, I guess.
No one mournes the wicked, changed for good, 'im not that girl'
The musical is great.
The novel is interesting enough.
If they lean more on the novel for visuals and exposition and shit, but draw on the musical for the plot (espcially the fucking ending lol) i bet it'll be pretty good.
As far as defying gravity being the only memorable song, that's dumb lol. There's lots of memorable songs in that shit. I hate musicals, but I love wicked. I own the soundtrack and I've seen that shit twice.
It didn't exist 13 years ago you twat
They are when it's all you have.
When i went with the fine arts dept of my high school to new york we saw wicked on broadway, then the next day (because alotta the people on the trip were drama kids) we had a workshop with two of the ense,ble members from the performance, where we had to learn a dance number and it was that fucking song
I'm........limited.........
FIYEEEEEEEEEERROOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about "Wonderful or: Joel Grey Will Be Pissed Off If I Don't Give Him a Song"
I love "The Wizard and I" because of the ironic foreshadowing in the lyrics.
