I canāt say Wicked is the best movie Iāve seen in theaters but it was an awesome experience. I went alone on a rainy night, the first Friday it was out. the theater was jam-packed with gaggles of gays, women dragging along their reluctant boyfriends and husbands, little girls (many dressed like Glinda!), and young women having a girlās night.
There were middle school girls sitting behind me who were chattering away while we waited for the movie to start; when a Target ad came on, one of them said āHas anyone noticed that Target just isnāt as fun anymore? Maybe this is just growing up.ā
All of the women in the theater were audibly sobbing throughout the movie including myself. The middle school girls cried the most and one of the college girls sitting next to me said at the end āI canāt believe I cried watching WICKED thatās so embarrassing.ā The gays were screaming and jumping in the street outside afterwards about how good it was. It wasā¦ beautiful.
(You can hear my actual thoughts on the movies here). (The Substance is objectively the best movie Iāve seen in theaters; you can hear me talk about it here if youāre interested).

šµI am a huge musical theatre nerd. This was the first movie I ever went to see alone at a movie theater. I was 14 years old and already a smoker, a Daniel Day Lewis die hard fan, and Marion Cotillard obsessed.
I remember I watched on a weekday after school, still in my uniform. I was the only person in the room, it was like a 2pm screening on a Wednesday.
I was so brokenhearted because of my first boyfriend and he happened to LOVE musicals as well, so I bought my ticket alone and it felt like a really big girl move, to go without him to see a movie I knew he wanted to see.
I remember crying THE WHOLE MOVIE. Literally bawling my eyes out.
I learned every song.
Years later, I auditioned with a performance of āTake It Allā for a Musical Theater Major I couldnāt sign up for because of money. Its weird because that song got me the scholarship (even tho I couldnāt go study, I did won the thing).
That day, by myself, at the movies, is a day Iāll remember forever.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š
