    If you could bring any other Broadway musical to the big screen, which one would it be?

    LOVED this movie and everything everyone involved put into it. So much good is added in the transition to the big screen from the broadway stage.
    It’s so hard comparing something you know and love in one medium to it’s presentation and all the differences that come along with a new rendition. For all the slight critiques, the movie really contains the heart and excitement of the original show.
    Excited to see all that’s coming in part 2!

    Ya this movie is fine for a musical, but simply not for everyone. It felt too long to me, but I get that people love it

    Definitely agree that Defying Gravity was too drawn out. I see what they were trying to do with the breaks, like seeing outsiders' reactions and her father collapse, but it really took away from the momentum of the song. They did something similar with Popular, but that song doesn't have nearly the same weight.
    Really the only two other things that bugged me were that they didn't seem to try making Fiyero look a bit younger and there was probably 20 minutes' worth of lingering shots that could have been cut.
    I did really enjoy it otherwise. I think the second watch was better for me.

      Totally agree with you on Defying Gravity! The emotional breaks were an interesting concept, but they definitely hurt the song's momentum, especially since it's such a pivotal moment. Popular is a lighter song, so I think the breaks there felt more natural, but you're right, it doesn’t carry the same weight.
      And yes, the lingering shots! I kept thinking the same thing, tightening up some of those scenes could have really helped the pacing. Also, good point about Fiyero, those little details can make a big difference in immersing the audience.
      I think it’s one of those movies that grows on you once you know what to expect. -Nate
