Reminds me....
of that Disney 1997 adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella with the multi-racial cast of actors (two of the actresses being pop artists which is Whitney Houston and Brandy).
shareNobody remembers that. In twenty years, nobody will remember "Wicked", but "The Wizard of Oz" from 1939 will still be remembered and watched.
shareFair point. Although everyone will remember the 2003 Broadway musical.

Wicked will probably be remade as a fan fiction on an Apple iPhone XLV with the included app, and be a far better movie than 2024 Wicked. The only reason Wicked will be a money maker is that the demand was such that it would still have been a hit even if Tom Arnold played Elpheba.
1939's Wizard of Oz will always be revered.
