  Speaker 2: you can kind of get warm.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: In perfect in there. Yep. And Wicked for Good looks
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: like something we definitely want to see in the theaters, right.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, one hundred percent. Look. I love the guy who
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: does the production design for these films because it takes
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: you to another world when you see the first wicker
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of this one. His name is Nathan Crown. He did
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: all the Christopher Nolan movies. He did Wanka a few
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: years ago, and the Wicked for Good is just magical.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: It is it's another world, but that you entered the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: theater and I saw it in three D where it
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: really feels like a storybook come to life, and the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: kids absolutely loved it. I will tell you that if
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you're expecting to be better than the first one, I'm
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: not sure about that. As one critic said, it's called
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Wicked for Good, it's not Wicked for great. It's very good.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Christine told me that people are walking out crying, like emotional.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, so what I want to say is it's
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a little bit more adults. It's just a little bit
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: darker I think. I mean, there's a more you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: there's some tough themes in it, but wow, it's so
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: beautiful and just the friendship between Ariana Grande and Cynthia
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Rievo is just so beautifully portrayed in the movie. A
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: lot of surprises. I thought it was really interesting how
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: they kind of go more into the original Dorothy story
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of the Wizard of Oz, what they show happened behind
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the scenes. Didn't know a lot of things that weren't
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: in the play. Because you know the second act of
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the play, Christine, you've seen it a hundred times. It's
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: it's not as strong as the first act. So they
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: had to kind of bolster it up, okay, and they
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: did some great things with the story. So I think
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that's a fantastic time with the movie. You'll love it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: What I love is that so many theater oners around
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the New York City area are doing so much for
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the movie. It's like the whole theater is festooned in
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: pink and green colors. Your standis with balloons and drink
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: cups and like a little witch's had for popcorn and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. So it's yeah, they're really advantizing the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: whole movie going experience. So you'll love it.
