Wicked: Part I - Reviews

For fans, this is an extremely faithful adaptation of the show, while for casual viewers who fancy a musical or just the next big family blockbuster, it’s certainly worth visiting the cinema for those sprinkles of magic.

...hit musical makes gravity-defying leap to the big screen.

If as many people love this film as much as I did, Wicked will undoubtedly immortalize the Grande and Erivo in movie musical history.

Grande and Erivo’s chemistry is unmatched.

...Overstuffed but Often Glorious Musical Adaptation

The razzle-dazzle that’s Jon M. Chu’s bread and butter is on glorious display in “Wicked,” the big-screen version of the beloved Broadway musical.  

I always knew I’d love the Wicked movie, but I didn’t expect to love it this much.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will have you defying gravity.

Stunningly bold and beautifully sung, wicked soars higher than hoped.

...it quite literally ends on a high note — an intensely powerful one at that. And there’s no defying ‘Defying Gravity’.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are a blast in sugar-rush Wizard of Oz fantasy.

Ariana Grande steals the show in bewitching blockbuster.

...like Denis Villeneuve’s first Dune, this Wicked manages to end on a note of “to be continued” while still feeling like a complete story.

...Erivo and Grande have chemistry in abundance and make for a memorable duo.
