Wangechi and Brian discuss the crazy run Wicked is on--from the press, to the vocals, to the actual movie. If you haven't seen or heard about the movie, don't worry because Brian gives you enough details to not even need to go see it. But they can't offer the vocals that Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande do, so maybe just go see the movie too.
