🎥 Wicked — Big Sets, Big Songs, Big Runtime
We just walked out of Wicked at Landmark Cinemas in Calgary — like, literally walked out, hit record, and started talking. So if we sound winded… we kind of are. This one was a lot. Nearly 3 hours long (plus popcorn breaks), and packed with color, lore, and a whole lot of Elphaba.
This isn’t an indie. It’s not a doc. But it is a cultural moment — so we’re giving it the full Cade & Kit treatment anyway.
Wicked rewinds the clock on The Wizard of Oz, telling the untold story of the “Wicked” Witch of the West — and how she wasn’t so wicked after all.
🧪 Friendship, betrayal, and magical politics🌈 Prequel energy that actually works💔 One part fantasy, one part heartbreak, all Broadway
If you know the musical, it holds up. If you don’t… it still mostly makes sense. The emotional core? Solid. The plot? A bit packed, but not incoherent.
They cast big. And mostly, it paid off.
✨ Standouts: The leads carried it with gravitas and vocal chops🎤 Emotional beats landed — even in the most glitter-drenched moments👠 A few scenes felt stretched (hi, Act II), but the payoffs were strong
We saw this in a full theater. The kind where people whisper-sing during the big numbers and gasp at the reveals. It's a vibe. The production is massive — from costumes to lighting — and there’s no denying this thing was made for the big screen.
But yeah… it’s long. Don’t skip the snacks.
