If you’ve seen the musical but never read the book, you’re in for a Wickedly Wonderful ride! So much of the original book (written for adults, not kids) was left out of the show. Let’s read it!

Wicked movie trailer reaction video
Part One of the two-part cinematic adaptation of Wicked will be released November 22. Universalsal released the first trailer for the movie during the Super Bowl and another during the Olympics. This reaction video combines the first trailer and the sneak peak. I include some initial comparisons to the Broadway musical and give my personal take some of the hottest secrets still swirling around the movie.
