AceShowbiz - "Wicked" fans have erupted in fury following the release of a scene from the upcoming movie starring Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey. The clip, which features a performance of "Dancing Through Life", has been met with harsh criticism from fans who denounce the poor lighting and compare it to a reality show rather than a blockbuster.
One fan exclaimed, "This lighting is horrendous!" while another remarked, "This looks like a reality show, not a musical." Others criticized the lack of color and contrast in the scene, and questioned whether it was the final cut.
Despite the negative feedback, some fans praised the clip, highlighting Grande's enthusiasm for the role and the beautiful dance sequence.
The controversy surrounds a scene from Wicked, an origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West. Grande portrays Glinda the Good Witch, while Bailey plays Fiyero Tigelaar. The movie explores the unlikely friendship between Elphaba and Glinda in the magical land of Oz.
Amidst the outrage, "Wicked" is scheduled to debut on November 27, followed by a direct sequel, "Wicked Part Two", a year later. The stars will soon embark on a press tour, with the first premiere taking place in Sydney, Australia, on November 3.
