The film has also garnered critical acclaim, with praise directed towards the performances of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
Mamma Mia! was popular, but it didn't have brains or knowledge, did it? Will it remain the highest-grossing stage musical adaptation of all time worldwide? Don't make me laugh. There's a new queen of stage musical adaptation s at the global box office , as Wicked has officially surpassed the ABBA-centric phenomenon to sit at the head of the table.
How Good Is 'Wicked'? Beyond its impressive box office numbers, Wicked has struck a chord with both critics and audiences alike. Collider’s Jeff Ewing delivered a glowing review, calling it “a magical musical outing," and praised the performances of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. He wrote: The film works on an emotional level, and yet there are also well-delivered lessons about growing fascism that are tragically poignant in our American era. The set pieces are big and bold, and the dance numbers are creative and colorful. Grande is continually hilarious as the charmingly vapid Galinda, while Erivo is breathtakingly powerful as the so-called Wicked Witch. Both Grande and Erivo sound glorious through beautiful interpretations of modern musical classics like"Defying Gravity.
