The cast of Wicked, director Jon M. Chu’s latest musical/fantasy/romance film is great. And it includes Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum.

Fans of this long-standing and beloved stage musical will surely be delighted after watching this trailer.

As strong as my aversion to musicals is, this iteration just has way too much going for it for me to look the other way.

From the very talented cast to the costumes, the story of a beautiful friendship, incredible singing voices, triumph over a seemingly strong but actually weak monster and stunning special effects – to name just the most obvious things.

Maybe I’ve finally found another musical film I like, one to add to a list that currently only features The Greatest Showman (2017) Here’s to hoping.

Are you also drawn to Wicked?? I imagine the answer is yes; even more so if you’ve seen the live theatre production.

Keala Settle, Bowen Yang, Adam James, Terence Hughes, Aaron Teoh Guan Ti, Peter Dinklage, Grecia De la Paz, Alfredo Tavares and Bronwyn James also star.

Wicked Release Dates: November 24th, (UK); November 27th, (US)…

Happy Film Loving,
