Wicked released in theaters everywhere on November 21st, 2024, and recently eclipsed the $500 million mark worldwide. 

More than a decade after the smash hit musical on Broadway, Wicked, the Wicked (2024)  movie released, starring actresses Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as the two leads of this film. After the movie’s release, fans worldwide have been dedicated to this film, showing their support and love for the songs and scenes. Brands have also been putting out many Wicked products to the world as well, from Mattel dolls to Wicked-themed Stanley cups. 

Several Falcon students have seen the movie recently, and all that were interviewed shared their love for it.

“I liked it because it is a musical, and it teaches us to always stand up for what we believe in, which was beautifully portrayed in the movie,” Sophomore Bianka Pardo said. 

Senior Meagan Argullin shared some heartfelt thoughts about the film. 

“Going into to watch the movie Wicked, I didn’t have high or low expectations; I just went happy to see the movie in general, but this movie exceeded any expectations I could’ve had,” Argullin said. “From the music, vocals, storyline, commitment to the roles, and all the incredible visuals, I thought the movie was amazingly touching and entertaining. In some moments, I even found myself tearing up, and, even with all the jokes and memes about the last scene, I feel like the ending made me acknowledge the most that Wicked truly was an amazing movie. It only improved when I learned the actors sang everything live on set, and all the props and sets were real. Overall, I think it’s a great movie for all ages and demographics.”
