    How bout another joke, Madame Morrible?

    What do you get when you mix a green-skinned loner, WITH A SOCIETY THAT TREATS HER LIKE TRASH?!

    I’ll tell you what you get…

    (Full review coming soon.)

    REVIEW:

    • I actually missed the first few minutes of the movie, but I made it just in time for the opening number and the title card. This was one of the most crowded theaters I’ve ever been to, I haven’t seen a turnout like this since Avatar: The Way of Water!
    • The setting of Oz, with all of its magic and whimsy, was so…inspiring. The songs, the costumes, and in general the vibes…whatever this is called, I need more of this in my life.
    • There was this part in the Emerald City sequence where these two women appeared on screen, and the audience cheered. I’m not familiar with the musical, so I’m assuming they are the actresses from the original.
    • Glinda was such an unlikeable character at first, but I guess that was intentional to show her character development into the Good Witch of the North. So much Condescending Compassion towards Elphaba and pretty much everyone around her. Some of her comments got lots of laughs from the audience.

    Overall? 8.5/10. My only complaint is that it felt too long, but still, highly recommended.
