Wicked, I am reading, has become a politically charged movie, as has its sequel. I do wonder what L. Frank Baum, who has quite a connection to Central New York State, would have thought of Wicked, and the resulting controversies. I have not read the original Wicked book nor did I ever see the play or the movie. I was not planning to but now I just might.
This isn't a film or book that appeals to me but it's nice to sample the songs from the production. I can I would not be happy to pay to go see this to learn it had a lot of political undertones. I want to be entertained. Politics needs to be kept in its place which is out of the entertainment business. Thanks for sharing and joining the 4M party, Robin! Have a boogietastic and blessed Thanksgiving week, dear friend !! xo
I had no idea it was political. I can see that it's about being different, bullying etc... I like Cynthia's voice more than Indena..oops, I. All John Travolta right now I still have to see the first movie. The songs are ok but, for me, they don't have the same oomph as many do back in the 30s and 4ps

ReplyDeleteBaum’s original books had hidden political undertones, very populist. Maguire’s book was very political, and the movies even more so
