[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't like the movie, Wicked, and I think Cynthia is a good singer, but not attractive.[/quote]

Yeah, I am not a fan of her in that role. I loved the book and like the musical. I find her Elphaba to be the wrong mix of vulnerability and steeliness. To be fair I'm just only so-so on Idina Menzel in the role, but at least I prefer her interpretations of the music. Nothing against Erivo's voice or acting -- I loved her in Harriet. Just wrong casting IMO (I like Ariana Grande even less, I think she's totally miscast and also don't think she's a good actress generally -- way too mannered and self-conscious).

I do not understand why people like that movie so much.[/quote]

The book is sooo different than the musical! Bravo for being open to both. [/quote]

Yeah, I read the book when it came out and loved it so of course wanted to see the musical. It is very different but if you tried to do a faithful adaptation of the book for the stage, it wouldn't work at all. I never mind when adaptations change stuff, though. That's the whole point, it's an adaptation. I don't always *like* the adaptation (sometimes I think it's too faithful!) but I don't mind the desire to change it and do something different.[/quote]
