Elysia, Marilyn, and Nichole defy you not to enjoy this very likable musical – now the highest grossing movie musical in history!
They open with a spoiler-free first act to set the stage with the history behind the movie and their spoiler-free reviews, before jumping into the Wicked: Part I movie spoilers (00:42:07) – including comparisons with the equivalent parts of the stage musical and book its based on.
Then Nichole and Marilyn exit stage left so that Elysia can launch into an extra spoilery third-act look at elements of the movie that are only safe for those who have seen the theatrical play, have read the book, or just like to be spoiled (01:53:38 – 02:00:48).
