I went to see Wicked in the cinema this evening. Now, often when film musicals are made they include some boy-band performer, or other singer, who may be excellent in their niche but are just not musical theatre singers. So it was with a sense of trepidation that I went to see Wicked.
I need not have worried – it was excellent, with string performances throughout – not a weak link in the chain!
Other people did turn up for the show – but not too many!
