Misunderstood because of her green skin, a young woman named Elphaba forges an unlikely but profound friendship with Glinda, a student with an unflinching desire for popularity. Following an encounter with the Wizard of Oz, their relationship soon reaches a crossroad as their lives begin to take very different paths.
I loved this show and was pretty skeptical about seeing it turned into a movie. It was also massively and excessively marketed that I was afraid I would be disappointed by it just because. I was dead wrong on both accounts. This movie was AMAZING and could easily be one of if not the best musical turned into a movie . . . . well at least the first part of a musical at least. The casting was perfect, the singing amazing and it somehow did not bother me that part 1 of the movie was longer than the entire broadway show. That is very impressive.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It was an amazing watch and easily one of the best movies of the year even after all the hype/marketing.
