Have you seen the movie Wicked yet? If not, go see it now! And if you have, I wonder if you walked away from the movie thinking about more than just the music and the visuals? Because for me, this film struck a lot deeper than that. In today’s episode I'm sharing with you my takeaways and getting into a deep discussion about the film "Wicked." Watching it was an emotional experience for me—I have heard similar reactions from many friends and family. The movie brought a new depth to a story I've enjoyed on Broadway, hitting emotional chords even more powerfully on screen than on the stage.
Of course, what stood out were the performances by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Seeing Erivo shine just like she did in "The Color Purple" and witnessing Grande elevate her craft was incredible. But there’s more to discuss than just these stellar performances. I see "Wicked" as more than just a film. It serves as a compelling backdrop for a broader discussion about how it may serve as a mirror to our own society. I ask you to consider: Is this just a piece of entertainment, or does it reflect real-life dynamics unfolding around us right now?
This episode explores how the themes of "Wicked" relate to the realities we face every day and I share what this story means beyond the screen. Join me as we explore these questions, diving into how the themes of "Wicked" resonate with the reality we live in today.
