The Out Takes guide to Wicked (Part 1)

TV & Film

The press run for this film has been epic and with Wicked finally in cinemas we took the opportunity to celebrate part one’s release with a look at all of the elements of this much loved book and musical that has led to it finally being delivered as the movie musical that many queer people will tell you they’ve been waiting for their whole lives that will have you singing, dancing and defying gravity this November and beyond. We explore the history of the story from its connection to the Wizard of Oz book and 1939 film through to its triumphant arrival on Broadway in 2003 through to the development and delivery of the highly anticipated film version. We also discuss the importance of its casting, performances, and representation along with the incredible attention to detail provided through the sets, cinematography and of course, the music.
We also looked at the return of The Sex Lives of College Girls with season 3 just arriving on streaming. All of your favourites are back for their second year at Essex College and delivering lots of laughs, more personal drama, and plenty of s-e-x.
