Recommended. Can you love a movie but still have issues? Of course. But let’s start with the good news. Ariana Grande (Don’t Look Up) can act! Enough such that her Broadway voice and dancing in Wicked are joyous. And she’s funny . . . mugging up Glinda the Good Witch like she’s waited for the part all her life (she has!) And, given Harriet, we (and the Academy) know Cynthia Erivo can really act. She also dances, is funny, and makse the finale song, Defying Gravity, SOAR. The rest of Wicked is tolerable. Too long and glitzy . . . the long attributable to its Part 1 status. Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park) was surprisingly inoffensive, but the talking animals and most of the other supporting actors are forgettable. The flying monkeys were not as deeply disturbing as in The Wizard Of Oz. Despite all this - - if you love Oz, or the stage musical - - you’ll love Wicked.
