Wicked Review🔴 : Jon M. Chu Understood The Musical Assignment, And The Broadway Adaptation Defies Gravity P B P✔
In the lead-up to seeing Wicked, I heard Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo speak many times about how their voices worked so well together when they sang, and let me tell you: it’s heavenly when they collide. However, it’s not just their singing, it’s their acting abilities too. It feels like these two women were born to play Elphaba and Glinda together, and they balance and juxtapose each other wonderfully.

The moment I found out Ariana Grande was cast as Glinda, I knew we were in for something special. At her core, the pop star is a theater kid, and I already knew she was a Wicked superfan. All of that is on full display in this movie as she plays the good witch with great humor and heart.
The scene that comes to mind that demonstrates all this is the opening number, “No One Mourns The Wicked.” The scene where she’s speaking with the Munchkins is hilarious, but it’s quickly put into question as you see the nuanced emotions Glinda is trying to hide as she talks about Elphaba. Then, she sings, and hearing Grande hit those operatic notes is breathtaking. From there, she thrives as the pinkified lady, and that’s in part thanks to her fellow witch played by Cynthia Erivo.
Now, if you want to talk about a show-stopper, at the screening I attended, Cynthia Erivo’s performance caused two rounds of applause. When she opens her mouth to sing her first number, “The Wizard and I,” I got chills. Her vocal performance only gets more and more impressive as she expresses Elphaba’s greatest hopes and dreams. After that, we see her grow into her power, and by the end, when she sings “Defying Gravity,” she’s a changed and determined witch.
