Fantastic acting, wonderful singing, inspired cinematography, and better special/practical effects than many of the latest superhero movies. Everything about it was done so well!

Dance scene got me too. Honestly only moment of real joy in the whole story so far. I have a lot of problems with the story, but none of that is the movie's fault, as the source material is what it is. My wife thought it was excellent too, but definitely not an "uplifting" musical. It can't match the sheer joy of the Wizard of Oz.

Uplifting is not what I would call this movie… knowing that the Wicked Witch will end up dead under Dorothy’s house…

1. wrong witch.... that was the WW of the East.


2. The point of the story is to tell her life from her perspective, and perspective can change everything.

Haven't seen the play. Does the sister in the wheelchair end up being the witch of the East? Is that why she had the ruby slippers? Because if she finally gets to walk only to have a house dropped on her that's tragic
