:wub:

 

there have been a couple of new long interviews this week that I'm catching up with now:

 

 

The biggest talking point of this one on social media was the following quote:

 

“i’m always going to do pop stuff, but i don’t think doing it at the rate that i’ve been doing it for the past 10 years is where i see the next 10 years. i think i love acting, i love musical theatre.”

 

 

In this one Ari reveals that the movie version of 'Popular' is extended - with a longer ending, key changes and choreography.

This look from the press tour might be my favourite of hers ever :wub:

Although I'm not a massive musical person, I will definitely be going to see this just for Ari :heart: Word of mouth from those who have seen it have been overwhelmingly positive from what I've seen

Ari is just PERFECT as Glinda, and as a huge fan of Wicked the musical, the more clips I hear the more convinced I am. I went back to her singing The Wizard and I at the 15th anniversary thing and whilst it’s now one of her songs in the movie obviously, the difference is night and day. You can see how hard she’s worked, this is her dream and she’s truly become Glinda. Short of Kristin Chenoweth being Glinda again, I can’t think of anyone who could do Glinda this much justice and have the star power to anchor a huge Hollywood blockbuster at the same time. I absolutely love love love her trained voice like this, I’d be ecstatic if she continued with more Broadway type stuff, especially if she did an actual Broadway musical or even just more movie musicals.

 

Can’t wait for the movie now, 6 days away!! Feels like I’ve waited so so long and it’s almost here.

 

Popular seems to be getting a LOT of the hype so I wouldn’t be surprised if it took off over Defying Gravity even though that’s obviously the big known song from Wicked and the centrepiece. It will be interesting to see how streaming goes, I don’t expect musical songs to be HUGE but I think DG will initially be streamed more and then Popular will take over as everyone sees the movie.

Eep yes just around the corner now :wub: it feels a bit surreal after waiting so long... going to book some tickets to see it early on Saturday! I'm intrigued to see which songs people flock to the most as well, in the chart forum back in December one of my 2024 predictions was 'Defying Gravity' cracking the top 40 this year, but I have seen more discussion surrounding 'Popular' at the moment too.

 

It's been hard to keep up with the promo this week as it's been SO full on :lol: but some highlights since I last posted in here:

Whew, will stop there but this is a comprehensive thread of everything:

I'm SOOO hyped. Jon M Chu is such a brilliant director. SO vivid, bright, beautiful and BIG (he directed 'Crazy Rich Asians', 'In The Heights' and 'Step Up 2: The Streets'!!!!)

 

I'm not too big on the show. I actually find it a tad overrated tbh, but I do enjoy it. Going to be interesting where this movie hits for me. Just exciting! Pre-sales are INSANE for this!
