If while Noblezada was walking down the aisle, the officiant didn't tell Carney to not turn around - to not look - to trust that she was there, well, that was a missed opportunity.
I presume, despite the involvement of Bob Martin, this has no connection to "Slings and Arrows" which was about an actor who has a public meltdown (multiple) and then returns to his "family" in New Burbage to save it with a production of a classic play.
I'm guessing Maguire sold the rights to his other Oz books to someone other than Universal. Because, if you want to do a sequel to Wicked, there already are three actual sequels plus a handful of other works connected to Wicked.

Just five new musicals this season has to be a all-time low. Wondering if something like BENJAMIN BUTTON slides in because of this. Or BULL DURHAM."

When I mentioned this to the person seated to my left, she explained that she had seen the original with Page and was not enjoying this version stating (slightly paraphrasing now) "This is not in my top 10.
