I'm not a Wizard of Oz fanatic but went to see it with friends that were. I loved it. Some of it was hard to hear, but

I have no interest. I don't like what they are doing to Frank L. Baum's books. It is blatant exploitation.

No! I liked the book, and the Broadway production was okay but I'll take a pass on the film!

I collected the Oz books as a child and still have some valuable editions. While I was far more into biographies, I did love his depiction of his idealized "fantasy land" which Wicked has really perverted.
NOPE. It may be wonderful. It may be a "don't miss." but I only wish the music was forgettable because it is on stupid commercials 24/7--and on tv, at least it comes of as a screeching unpleasantry. NOPE.
