Debate this!
The smash hit musical?Wicked has been adapted into a Hollywood blockbuster starring Broadway veteran Cynthia Erivo and popstar Ariana Grande. Ariana faced tragedy when a terrorist attack killed her fans at a concert and her ex-partner died suddenly. Now she says she has poured her feelings of loss into her performance.
Does the movie have an important message?
74% said yes ?? There are many important themes in Wicked. From more light-hearted explorations of the value of female friendship, to serious debates about the nature of power and control, it is a feast for the intellectual mind.
26% thought no ?? Wicked has been marketed mostly to children, with themed dolls and children’s clothes appearing on shelves. Its themes will not go beyond the bounds of a simple childhood fable built to show “right” and “wrong” without any nuance.
