I did finally get the chance to see this at the weekend.

 

Musicals still aren't really my thing but Ari was amazing of course and I hope she continues to win all the awards.

 

This is getting a digital release as soon as 31st December with over 3 hours of bonus features *.* these include:

 

- Glinda teaching Elphaba the art of 'toss toss'

- More of Elphaba and Fiyero in the forest

- Boq and Elphaba talking about facing their feelings

- More scenes on the train to the Emerald City

- Glinda, Madame Morrible and Governor Thropp gather to send Elphaba to the Emerald City

- A full karaoke version

- 40 minutes behind the scenes

- Audio commentary by Jon M. Chu, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo

This has now overtaken Mamma Mia to become the highest grossing musical adaptation of all time :o :clap:

I'm sure it's going to make a ton more now that the sing-along version has released and all the Wicked fans can finally sing to the songs without fearing getting cancelled by the internet

W magazine shoot and interview *.*

Ari just lost the Golden Globe to Zoe Saldana, typically this predicts the Oscar as well but even being nominated for the Oscar would be insane tbf. Part of me isn’t even sure she’ll get the Oscar nom but we will see, the critical and awards success has been incredible for Ari as it is.

I feel like a lot of the buzz in the category so far has been for Zoe and Ari so fingers crossed the latter does get that Oscar nomination! Would indeed be an incredible achievement for her.

 

Wicked was honoured with the 'Cinematic and Box Office Achievement' award at the Golden Globes thanks to its phenomenal success :clap:

FINALLY seeing this tomorrow!

 

I meant to sooner, but Christmas time and the new year ended up being a bit hectic and I put it on the backburner.

Ooh hope you enjoy!

Reminder that Ariana's Graham Norton appearance is this week on Friday :cheer: I wish she was actually performing on it but will still take any U.K. promo from her.

I really enjoyed this! Although she was absolutely brilliant, it was hard for me to see her as Glinda and not "Ariana" for most of it :lol:

This weekend just gone, took this past 'Inside Out 2' to be the biggest 2024 release in the UK!
