Agree, though the amount of optioning up in the clips and trailers alone has me a bit worried it's going to be over the top in the movie.

I'm loving all these clips but wow, they really want us to see the full movie before it comes out...

I'm actually kind of surprised that the review embargo hasn't been dropped already, despite these incredibly enthusiastic reviews from social media and from Letterboxd.

I am trying to stay away from them. The ads and clips/promos are everywhere. I paused a DVR recording last night, the screensaver came on after a few minutes and it was a WICKED ad! I am only following the Facebook page but it is popping up in my feed a lot with clips. It's become a bit much but I have started to scroll past them.

I’m keeping away from their solos as well. But I just watched the One Short Day first look. I couldn’t help it.

Y’all ARE aware these promo featurettes are geared and directed towards the general mainstream public who isn’t familiar with the WICKED musical. Many may be aware of the WICKED musical but have no knowledge of the plot or the music so these “teasers” are in hopes of sparking enough interest in them to go see it at a movie theatre. Universal knows the fans will be turning up but they want to get the attention of the other half. If they’re too much for you, just avoid them. They aren’t going to stop any time soon AND they’ll be more once the film makes its full theatrical debut - yes, those heavy handed “pull quotes” promos.

Your mom ALWAYS says this. Funny that also came from you.
