Never fear, R5. Many said the same thing after reading the original novel. Brilliant premise, but a crashing bore to read. Winnie Holzman's stage adaptation was truly marvelous. She managed to retain everything that was good from the novel, and bury the rest. I don't know if the filmmakers used her (or her work) but they would be absolute fools not to. Her libretto is the reason that show is still running. Schwartz's score is fine, but it's the story and storytelling that made the show a sensation.

Who is that playing the Wicked Witch?
I want to say Jennifer Hudson, but I don't think it's her.

British actress who frightened Mandy Patinkin and got a Broadway musical shut down over a non-existent racial issue.

She looks a lot like Jennifer Hudson.
Jennifer is tall, about 5 feet 11 inches, so I was wondering why she was matching up to shorty little Ariana Grande's height.
Jennifer Hudson might have made a good Wicked Witch.

It seems like they did a lot of digital alterations with the actors' voices and faces.
The trailer looked like a mix of real life and CGI.

I posted this in the other thread: The show itself is terrible. I saw it with the original Broadway cast and it was just meh even with Joel Grey as the Wizard. The movie will end with "Defying Gravity" just like act one of the show. Act 2 was slow. For some reason the songs just don't resonate. When it opened in San Francisco pre Broadway it was 4 hours long. The book is so different and worth a read. The sequels have gay content too. Elphaba was a terrorist and the wizard was a dictator and caused genocide with the animal people and the munchkins. In the books Glinda is barely a character on the periphery. Joe Mantello has been collecting a big paycheck all these years so he can have his twinks.

I don't think there has been a musical with really good songs, since LaLa Land.
And before that, Hairspray.

She's trying to sound like Kristen Chenoweth. And pretty successfully.
