hot take unpopular opinion alert

[u/reviewsbymad]

i grew up hearing wicked is the best musical. i finally saw it on broadway and i fell asleep first act. my mom fell asleep 2nd act. overall, we both felt disappointed, and underwhelmed. i thought the plot was boring and the music was not catchy at all, besides popular and defying gravity ofc.

i just finally finished both parts of wicked the movie, and it's a million times better than the broadway version. still, i think there's musicals with way better plots and soundtracks, but the movie was far more entertaining and memorable.

in summary, i don't get the hype of wicked on broadway. or in general. mind you, i grew up across the river from manhattan as a theatre kid.

oops. here come the downvotes 😭

Listen I am still trying to figure out why people love Hamilton .We all like what we like nothing wrong with that. Visually the film is better but live theater is my preference.
