Ariana’s Dead eyes
Just watched it. I’ve seen Wicked on broadway a couple times and this was pretty good overall. Ariana did well singing and her lines were delivered fairly well. But man - those eyes are just dead. There is nothing in there at all. No emotion, no sparkle, no life. It’s like a mask of a human trying to emote. Most of her comedy gags fell flat as a result as well.
I liked Cynthia and thought she gave a lot more emotion. Seeing Kristen Chenoweth in the Oz "reunion" scene reminded me how much more of an effervescent human she is than Ariana. Perfect for Galinda.
Anyway, good movie. Not sure it was necessary to make it, but I didn’t regret watching it.
