  Wait, it’s a two parter? I just entirely lost interest in watching the first part.

    Yep, they tried to hide that fact quite well

    Part 1 is the first act, somewhat expanded. The additions are pretty seamless and add a bit to the story. Its been a long time since I saw the play, but there is only one part I was sure wasn’t in the original

    spoiler

    (A Cameo with Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel)

    If you are into the play you would probably like it. I went with my wife and daughters and they loved it. I found it enjoyable enough. As someone who isn’t super into the play, it was paced well, with some good comical elements.

      Part 1 is the first act

      Oh my god I just now got what my sister meant by “the act break is super long” and why my mother replied “lol” in the family group chat.

      I agree. The additions do not drag the movie down or make the run time feel overly long. I get the hate for splitting movies into multiple parts. Most of them do not deserve it. But, I feel this telling of the story is interesting, and I am willing to watch it in two parts.

    Same.

    I listened to the original Broadway cast so many times I was concerned I wouldn’t like a “cover” of it. After my sister said she liked it, and listening to a song and not finding it objectionable, I had even considered watching it.

    This is the first I’ve heard of it being a two parter, so they hid it well. I’m surprised my sister didn’t say anything

    Not a chance in hell I’m watching it until part two comes out in physical media so I can watch them both in one go. I hate breaking up the flow, even for a few hours while I wait for the next screening…

    Yep, I have no interest in seeing it in theaters because of their shit move there. I’ll acquire it afterwards, if I want to, but even then the insane marketing and the shit Cynthia Erivo pulled against Wicked fans has really bugged me

    Not only is it two parts, the first movie is over 2 and a half hours long.

      That’s like, the length of the entire Broadway show

  I hate it when I have to look up the order of how to watch something.

  Just stop calling them “Part One” if you’re not gonna call the sequel “Part Two” lol

    I didn’t think the first one was called Part One?

      During the opening title sequence they definitely snuck in a quick “Part One”.
