Wicked
I rewatched the movie in the cinema after watching it a week ago, and honestly, I was even more excited to watch it this time after it exceeded my expectations. When I saw the musical in London three years ago, I fell in love with the songs, the characters, the costumes and the plot, and watching the movie a week ago and today completely brought that magic back.
Cynthia Erivo is the perfect as Elphaba, her voice is so emotional and I had chills while she sang “defying gravity”. Ariana as Glinda is so much more than just bubbly, there’s real depth to her performance and she was a perfect choice for the role as well in my opinion. Cynthia and Ariana’s chemistry is so strong on screen and off screen, and it’s one of the things that made this movie work so well.
The second watch just made me love it even more. Seeing it again made me notice a couple of things I missed while watching it the first time, and I’m pretty sure it’ll keep getting better every time I watch it, at least until part 2 comes out :)
