November 29, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Perry Seibert, Michigan Movie Critics Guild for this week's Talking Pictures. They discuss “Wicked,” a prequel to “The Wizard of Oz,” based on the successful Tony Award-winning musical. The story delves into the friendship between Glenda, the Good Witch, and the Wicked Witch of the West, exploring their personal journeys. While the film features notable performances by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, it is only part one of the narrative, ending at the halfway point of the play with the song “Defying Gravity.”
