Wicked to Feature Sing-Along Screenings This Christmas

The upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway musical 'Wicked', starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, has sparked a lively debate about movie theater etiquette, specifically whether fans should sing along during screenings. While some moviegoers prefer to enjoy the performances without audience participation, others look forward to a more interactive experience. Universal Pictures has announced that sing-along screenings will be held in approximately 1,000 theaters starting December 25, 2024, a month after the film's initial release on November 22. This follows a trend seen with other musicals like 'The Greatest Showman', which successfully hosted similar events. The film's split into two parts aims to do justice to the story, with the second part scheduled for a 2025 release. With a star-studded cast and a push for interactive experiences, 'Wicked' is poised to be a major holiday attraction.
