Wicked

My life's been changed for the better. Best musical movie adaptation I've seen in awhile and I mean that. From the costumes to the set design, our leads' microexpressions and the comedic timing of our supporting characters, the thrilling sensation of it all...this was honestly perfection and so much more.  Ariana was phenomenal right out the gate, even more phenomenal than I knew she would be. But Cynthia??? All I can say is, that emotion is something raw and intentional. The progression of Elphaba was so visible, Cynthia executed it perfectly.  Jon M. Chu honestly did an amazing job at taking advantage of the cinematography space to reach this audience in the movie's purpose. I didn't even realize it was 3 hours long; each piece was incredibly important, especially if you aren't familiar with the musical. Those prolonged moments of silences, expression, etc. are not easily seen on Broadway, so those were my most appreciated moments.  I can't wait to see this again and again and again and again until next Thanksgiving. Thank you and goodnight from your fav theatre kid who needed something to feel - this was it.
