Really caught me off guard how emotional #Wicked made me. Like many I’ve been a fan since my teens & there was just something so striking about seeing & hearing it brought to life on the big screen in such a heartfelt way

Also Jonathan Bailey could have chemistry with a wooden spoon, perfect Fiyero
