She and her daughter moved to NYC and made it all our problem.

I don’t believe she is unable to read, and was mocking the rumor; not the illiterate.But I forgot that some on this board treat it as serious as a heart attack, and can’t take a damn joke."This joke is tired, lazy and lame. Every unwashed, chronically online teenager has used it, trying to be "edgy".Come up with something new."IDK, it s...

Insane that it's taken this long.

TheatreFan4 said: " This is your first footage of this show and there is not a single set piece on stage. WHAT is happening?" Well... there are so few set pieces in the show. And when they appear, they are hideous. The show is nearly three hours of people in jeans and a teeshirt talking and talking and talking on a bare stage. WHERE is this allegedly massive budget?

She's an actual star now. Like...what are ya'll talking about??Maybe she'll be great. Maybe she won't. Maybe lots of people will watch. Maybe they won't. But to this that this is a *bad* choice is...truly bonkers."Sure. Will make sure to check back on June 9th....

ACL2006 said: "They'll definitely get an uptick in viewers this year with Erivo hosting and Grande (likely) making an appearance."And a new trailer for Wicked: For Good.

BrodyFosse123 said, "YES! Thanks to the manic oversaturated WICKED press tour, I’ve come around and truly have fallen in love with her and blown away with everything she’s about. She’s owned up to her over-sharing social media ranting and in the future to just keeping things within her personal circle, I’m excited to see her holding court at the Tony Awards."Absolutely! I find her endlessly charming and fascinating to listen to. Whenever I see a new long-form interview with her on YouTube, I ...

This is fabulous. The orchestrations are lush, and the new lyrics are sharper than ever. Taking the closing number from a 40-minute episode and transforming it into an exciting opening number for a 2.5-hour show is a significant challenge. I believe they more than rose to meet it.

Kad said: "There are ten Best Picture nominees and 5 Best Director nominees. People are gonna be left out, that’s just how it is. Chu has consistentlynever been considered a strong contender for this, for a number of reasons (many of which have nothing to do with the quality of his work)."I get your point, but the DGA is notoriously tough to break into. It took Christopher Nolan 20 years just to get a nomination. Given that the film scored 10 nominations, it’s hard to ignore how someone like ...

Just putting this out there for anyone who needs to hear it: your life will get so much better if you focus on what brings you joy instead of getting stuck on what makes you miserable.

Wicked earned 10 Academy Award Nominations including Best Actress (Cynthia Erivo), Best Supporting Actress (Ariana Grande), and Best Picture.It also gets a nom for Production Design, Costumes, Editing, and Score (this one is a lovely surprise).

Sutton Ross said: ""Wow, that's incredibly dumb and ridiculous. Kinda like when Jimmy screams at Derek that "HE DESERVES HIS SONG TO BE ON BROADWAY CUZ HE WORKED REALLY HARD ON IT!" Nah."Barbie used the same messaging in several of its trailers...

For anyone like me who enjoys following betting odds, here are some updates from Gold Derby based on the last week of Awards nominations: Wicked moves up to #4 (from #5) in the Best Picture RaceCynthia Erivo moves up to #4 (from #5) in the Best Actress categoryAriana Grande remains at #2 for Best Supporting Actress (I suspect she'll take #1 in the next week or so). https://www.goldderby.com/odds/combined-odds/oscars-nominations-2025-predictions/

There is no need to apologize. This forum has always excelled at yucking people's yums. I always find that if I’m ever looking for a dissenting opinion on something I enjoy, this is the first place to go.

I don't see the hype dying down any time soon. The film is holding exceptionally well, even against Moana. It'll continue playing well through Christmas, and Universal is willing to pay for an expensive Oscar campaign. Ariana's nomination is seemingly locked, but pieces like this are already coming out in favor of the film... and Erivo.I must say, I've never been a huge fan of the stage play, but I understand its popularity. This film, for me, perfects nearly everything I find weak about the ...

EDSOSLO858 said: "This is going to flop hard.It’ll have a nice first week, but most of the reviewswill be tepid (save for the two leads’ performances) and it will be overshadowed by MOANA 2 come Turkey Day."I read this thinking it was a quote from over a year ago. Laughable.
