Wicked Shouldn't Be The Only Wizard Of Oz Musical Getting A Movie (This One Deserves It Just As Much)

In 2024, Jon M. Chu's movie adaptation of Wickedmade a huge splash, and because of this, another musical spinoff of The Wizard of Oz should also get its time in the sun. Released at the end of last year, Wicked took audiences by storm, earning $752 million at the box office and scoring an 87% critics score and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Now, viewers are patiently awaiting the movie's sequel, Wicked: For Good, but in the meantime, they should consider checking out another Wizard of Oz musical that came out 50 years earlier.
