Wicked

One particular scene inWickedjust gets better every time I watch it.

Like many who have long loved the musical, I counted down the days to watch the on-screen adaptation.

Now, withWickedavailable to digitally purchase, I have watched the movie two more times (so far).

Wickedis obviously a winner in several ways.

Director Jon M. Chu managed the perfect balance withWicked, however.

The movie is true to the musical, and any changes and adjustments made were only an enhancement.

Still,the Ozdust dance scene is what always pulls me in.

It’s clear to me that Chu recognized the advantage he had here.

The scene is profoundly artistic, but not so much that it becomes pretentious or superficial.

Now, with every rewatch ofWicked, I love this scene even more.

There areso many layers of nuance to how Elphie and Galanda start their friendship.

Their dance becomes an inside joke that is referenced throughoutWicked, and this is entirely unique to the movie.
