“WICKED: FOR GOOD” Trailer Reaction
We saw the big-screen debut of the trailer for Wicked: For Good. And from Ariana’s first “Elphaba Thropp, I know you’re out here” to Cynthia’s final “I’m off to see the Wizard,” the trailer is nothing short of two minutes and forty-six seconds of glorious new footage to get Sentimental over. And we’ve got some questions too. Where are Boq and Nessa? What scene are all those gay rainbow lights in? And how is Michelle Yeoh the fiercest woman on the planet? All this and more in our official reaction to the Wicked: For Good trailer.
