Are you ready to get Ozified? ✨ Join me as I reread Gregory Maguire’s Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West—a childhood favourite I haven’t touched in almost 20 years—and compare it to the brand new film adaptation, Wicked (2024), starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande!

With my background as a musical theatre school graduate and former professional performer in musicals across Canada, I’ll dive deep into the book’s themes, characters, and plot, touch on the megamusical’s legacy (and relevance to my life), and whether the new Wicked movie captures the magic of its source material.

Does the book hold up after all these years? Did the adaptation do justice to Maguire’s vision and the Broadway phenomenon? From Elphaba’s rise and fall to the nuances of translating a beloved book to stage and screen, I’ll break it all down in this reading vlog and movie review!

Whether you’re a fan of the book, the musical, or the brand-new film adaptation, this video is for you. Let’s talk all things Wicked! 🌪️✨
