Wicked for Good

Watched March, 2026.

The music seemed good in the moment, but afterwards I could not hum a single tune, in contrast to the original WoOz. The choreography was not memorable. The twists on the traditional Oz characters were cute, but the problem with "magic" is the choices; when a spell is cast for one thing, because magic is real, then we can always imagine a dozen other spells that would solve the problems better. The final scene was feel-good, but it added nothing to the plot. I liked the development of the Galinda/Glinda character through the two movies, and the portrayal by Grande.
