Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[innerSpaceman]

Oh, I was completely and utterly charmed and entertained throughout. I don't mean to imply it wasn't a fantastic evening of fun and enjoyable theater. It WAS.

I gladly went to see it a second time.

And, as a matter of fact, I like the songs and have listened to the CD quite a bit (though I'm certainly long over it).

It's really just the essence of what they did to the story that bugs me - and the dissatisfaction with the seemingly less musical, certainly less fun 2nd act - - that just happened to dispose of the book's most interesting episodes.


(There certainly was a whole lot of boring Oh Zee politics, so I find discarding one of the story's main virtues a terrible waste.)



Oh, are we talking about movies? Hmmm, well, when they do finally get around to a movie version of Wicked, I hope they incorporate a bit more of the book when they film the musical.
