I hear ya'. I'm very self-aware that operas and musicals are simply genres (music forms) I largely don't care for. My partner and I almost saw Hamilton in SF in early 2020, then the pandemic hit, and that was the end of that. A few years later, we checked it out on TV. We lasted a little bit longer than Laurie Anderson (and realized we dodged a bullet not having had to sit through it in-person). I do want to point out that while it's true that "Wicked" (the 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭) came out six years after the first “Harry Potter” book; "Wicked" (the 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬) came out 2 years 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 the first “Harry Potter” book. So, maybe it's Rowland who did the ripping off from Maguire?
Your opinion is very popular with me. What confuses me is how so many people love violence, horror & dystopian film/TV and then are weeping when they see this? It just doesn’t register on so many levels.
I am not a fan of musicals. My feelings on Wicked, without seeming it are: I don't like musicals. I really liked the book, you know, the original source material. And apparently what is out now is just part one. That is way too long.

Don't hold back. 😄
Criticizing things is fun. Ha! You're not alone.
