How\u2019d They Mess This Up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

While next month\u2019s\u00a0Wicked<\/em>\u00a0movie was always going to be a huge, seismic, obsessive, once-in-a-lifetime, make-it-my-entire-personality Big Deal in the life of me, I wasn\u2019t prepared for the film to seemingly be the same for so many other people.<\/p>\n

Obviously the hit\u00a0Broadway\u00a0musical has many fans who\u2019d be naturally excited for the first installment of the two-part film adaptation. But the marketing blitz, a constant promo assault and all-consuming product campaign that seems to be taking over culture and consumers, has taken me by surprise. I expect this for a superhero movie. But for a musical??? Be still my gay heart.<\/p>\n

And as is the case when something becomes a Big Deal, there is already backlash\u2014or, at the very least, disappointment.<\/p>\n

Fans have been waiting with anticipation for the marketing campaign to recreate the iconic\u00a0Wicked\u00a0<\/em>musical poster, which also serves as the show\u2019s Playbill art on Broadway. To celebrate tickets now being available for purchase, the recreation was finally released featuring stars\u00a0Ariana Grande\u00a0and Cynthia Erivo.<\/p>\n
