Finally, a film that doesn’t hide the fact that it is a musical.
I mean some films, like the recent Mean Girls re-do, do NOT put any musical numbers in the trailers or promo clips. So a lot of people who went to see the films were caught off guard when the characters started singing. Which I think is a bit of a bait-and-switch situation. But Wicked’s new promo sings out loud and proud. Not afraid to embrace what it is.
After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular and MUSICAL cinematic event this holiday season.
So YES, this film is a musical. And we finally get to hear and see snippets of the musical numbers. And the witches and munchkins aren’t the only ones who sing and dance. Because remember that the animals in Oz can talk, and that means they can also sing and play instruments.
