Wicked

as a fan of the broadway version? it’s fine but not amazing or life-changing, but it’s okay. it has moments. i appreciated a lot of little clarities they brought to the story, especially seeing who the main critic really is—especially with the wizard part—it made some things make more sense and honestly that was satisfying, also considering people who really need to understand it.  elphaba and glinda still have their moments. the songs? good. the sets are big and colorful and the costumes are cute, but the energy of the stage? missing. still, i can see how someone who hasn’t seen the musical might really enjoy it, and that counts for something. i didn’t hate it. i didn’t love it. it’s… acceptable. but don’t make me want to watch it again.
