Wicked | Review by: Amanda Guarragi
The theatre community has always felt like home. No matter where you’ve come from or how alienated you feel for being different, there has always been a place in the theatre community. As someone who has been part of the theatre community and found solace with a stage family for each production, there will always be one inspirational musical. For me, it was Wicked . From the stunning production design to the beautiful costumes to the depth of these wonderful characters, the first show tunes I learned was the Broadway cast recording with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth. Wicked has a special place in everyone’s heart because it could have been the first production they saw, or they loved The Wizard of Oz and wanted to see more. The musical is beloved because of its touching lyrics and the loving female friendship between Glinda and Elphaba. Jon M. Chu announced in 2021 that he would direct the film adaptation of Wicked . The casting followed shortly after, with Ariana Grande
