Description: Wicked begins with Grande’s Glinda making a grand entrance into Munchkinland to tell her adoring fans that the rumors are true, that the witch is really dead. We then see a flashback to her and the green-skinned Elphaba’s unexpected alliance during their time in college. Glinda, or Galinda as she is now called, is a cute, spoiled, mean girl who always gets her own way. But when they are forced to room together, to their surprise, they finally realize that they notice each other in ways that no one has noticed before. Galinda’s transformation anthem “Popular,” one of the most popular songs in the series, is one of the highlights of the film and a great example of the technical mastery that Wicked offers. Costume design by Paul Tazewell and production design by longtime Christopher Nolan collaborator Nathan Crowley are exquisite throughout, but especially here.
