Theater kids might be the butt of countless jokes, but I'm proud to be in the group and this particular brand of nerd. Growing up and doing theater offered a real sense of community, and it is how I make adult friends to this day. Obviously, I make it a point to watch every new movie musical, but I was lucky enough to watch both of the Wicked movies in private screenings made up entirely of those friends.
While this was an ideal way to watch the first Wicked (which is now streaming with an Amazon Prime subscription), the communal experience of watching For Good was even more powerful. Because just months ago, that group was faced with the unexpected passing of one of our friends, and has been experiencing the ebbs and flows of grief. So being able to be together, particularly during the movie's titular song "For Good," allowed us to feel all those strong feelings in a safe, supportive place.
