Is It Worth Watching?
Absolutely yes.
Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba is the emotional anchor — her "Defying Gravity" sequence combines practical sets, flight rigs, and IMAX cameras into something that couldn't exist on stage. Ariana Grande's Glinda nails the comedy while adding layers of insecurity. The chemistry between leads carries 160 minutes without a dull moment.
Minor wobbles in CGI-heavy Emerald City sequences aside, when it trusts the performers and Stephen Schwartz's iconic score, it soars.
