Wicked early reviews are blowing up my phone and I’m over here in my apartment in Chicago—yeah, the windy one, where my window’s rattling like it’s auditioning for the tornado scene—still smelling like movie theater carpet. I spilled an entire iced coffee on my lap during the credits last night, no lie, and my jeans are crusty. Grew up watching the OG Oz on VHS that skipped during “Over the Rainbow,” so this Wicked thing? It’s personal. Snuck into an early screening downtown because my editor owed me a favor (or three), and now I can’t stop humming “Defying Gravity” in the shower. Badly.
Wicked Early Reviews Got Me Acting Unwise
The theater was this old-school joint off Michigan Ave, seats so worn the springs poked my butt. I’m squished next to a dude vaping in the dark—rude—and a mom with her kid who kept kicking my chair. Then Cynthia Erivo opens her mouth for “No Good Deed” and I’m gone. Like, tears mixing with spilled Coke on my hoodie. Critics say she’s “redefining the role,” but I’m just sitting there thinking about the time I dyed my hair green in high school and my mom cried. Wicked early reviews ain’t lying—she’s everything.
Ariana’s Glinda in Wicked Early Reviews—Hold Up
I’ve been ride-or-die for Ariana since “The Way” dropped in 2013, okay? So when the Wicked early reviews called her Glinda “bubbly perfection,” I was ready to fight anyone who disagreed. But then she does that little giggle in “Popular” and I choked on a Skittle. My neighbor shushed me. The bubble scene? I whispered “iconic” so loud the usher glared. My notes app says: “glinda is my sleep paralysis demon but make it fashion.” Don’t judge.
The Sets, tho—Wicked Early Reviews vs My Corneas
Emerald City looks like a Lisa Frank fever dream exploded in 4K. I kept poking my friend (who I dragged along) going, “Is that real crystal??” Then Elphaba flies—FLIES—and my brain short-circuited. The Wicked early reviews raving about practical effects? Spot on. But also, why so much green? I felt like I was inside a lime LaCroix.
One Thing Wicked Early Reviews Glossed Over
Everyone’s hyping the vocals (fair), but the pacing in Act 1? Kinda wonky. Like, “Dancing Through Life” felt cut short and I needed more Fiyero thirst trap moments. Also, intermission snacks were $17 for a hot dog. Highway robbery. My wallet’s still mad.
Do Wicked Early Reviews Match the Vibe Check?
Rotten Tomatoes at 91% right now—refreshing obsessively, send help. But stats don’t tell you how I walked out into the Chicago cold and just stood there, wind whipping my hair, feeling seen by a green witch. Wicked early reviews are onto something, but they can’t capture my snotty sobs during “For Good.”
Random Thoughts Because ADHD
- Song that wrecked me: “I’m Not That Girl”—I paused the credits to ugly cry in the bathroom stall.
- Worst decision: Wearing white sneakers. They’re tie-dye now.
- Jeff Goldblum: Chaotic grandpa energy, 10/10.
Wrapping This Mess Up
Wicked early reviews are mostly right—this movie’s a gut punch in platform boots. If you’re anywhere in the US, book your ticket before bots snatch ‘em. Bring tissues, skip the nachos (learned that the hard way), and maybe don’t sit in the front row unless you want a neck cramp.
Anyway I gotta google “how to get soda out of denim” and also maybe therapy. Drop your Wicked early reviews takes below—I’ll read ‘em while stress-eating leftover popcorn.
P.S. If you spot me at Alamo Drafthouse, I’m the one with the emotional support Hydro Flask and zero volume control. Holler.
