I first read Wicked back in 2003 while suffering severe insomnia during my radiation therapy. It enthralled me through those many long sleepness nights, and the one thought I kept having was, "This would make a great movie!"
When it went to Broadway, I was at first a little disappointed, but immediately realized that this was the path to the silver screen, and now—two decades later—we're going to get it.
And I'm here for it. Yes, I loved the Broadway show. I have the soundtrack. It's been years since I last read the books, but nevertheless, this trailer brought tears to my eyes.
