Wicked has been in theaters for a full week, and the musical-based movie has been almost as popular as Ariana Grande’s Glinda. It raked in $114 million domestically over opening weekend, making Jon M. Chu’s flick the most successful Broadway adaptation.
Grande is fantastic in the role, as is Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. Erivo brings such beauty and sadness to the role of the misunderstood witch, and her voice is unreal. The movie is split into two parts, mimicking the acts of the musical. That means we get 11 wonderful songs in the first part, including the chill-inducing “Defying Gravity,” the upbeat “Popular” and Erivo’s belting of “The Wizard and I.”
Here’s how we ranked all of the songs from the movie Wicked.
