A Bewitching Evening with Wicked!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Last night was a magical experience as I joined my oldest granddaughter Hailey, along with her mom and dad, to see Wicked. Let me tell you—it was absolutely phenomenal!

The movie is a long one, but every moment felt necessary to unravel this captivating story. The cast delivered amazing performances, bringing Elphaba and Glinda’s journey to life in such a powerful way.

For those unfamiliar with the story, Wicked offers a fresh perspective on the classic tale of The Wizard of Oz. It delves into the life of Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her green skin, and her unlikely friendship with Glinda, whose charm and ambition drive her quest for popularity. Their bond is tested after an encounter with the Wizard of Oz, leading them down very different paths.

This was only Part 1, and I’m already counting down the days until Part 2 arrives—it can’t come soon enough!

If you’re on the fence about seeing Wicked, let me give you a little nudge—go! It’s a beautiful story of friendship, identity, and the choices that shape us. You won’t regret it!

Have you seen Wicked yet? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Dorie, My daughter and a group of her friends went to see it and had an amazing time. It was the perfect girls' night out, and like you, they are already excited for part 2 to come out!

Thanks, Dorie, for sharing this experience and advice.

One of my local friends made the same comment about being anxious to see part 2.

Hello Dorie - I haven't yet seen Wicked yet.  However, I have seen many previews of it in theatres recently before watching other movies.  I will likely see it since the in-theatre experience is still worthwhile in my opinion.

Dorie my wife wants to go see the movie, but we saw the play in Hartford, CT a couple of years ago, and it was very very good.

I swear this is the movie of the year.  A lot of marketing behind this release. Have a super fantastic week!

Good morning, Dorie... so glad you enjoyed it. I saw enough of the trailers to determine that this was not my kind of movie (sort of like Barbie, which I also missed).

Dorie Dillard Austin TX

It's not like Barbie at all..and I missed that one. It's really well done and the message comes out loud and clear Nina Hollander, Broker

Dorie Dillard Austin TX hi Dorie... I know Wicked is not like Barbie at all... except for all the promotion behind it. At the end of the day, it's such a long movie and by the time I factor in getting to the movie, seeing the movie, going home after the movie I feel like I need to think about whether I spend my time doing that or doing something I keep putting off because personal time feels like it shrinks by the day. I'm still not firing on all cylinders since my second hip replacement... getting stuff done, but certainly not at the pace I normally function.

I haven't seen the movie but read a few things about it. It sounds interesting but was told it didn't have a happy ending. Is that true? I know you said there is a Par 2 coming so maybe the not so happy ending ends up happy. ???

The ending leaves you ready to see it continued for Part 2 Carol Williams
