In this episode of Book Watch, we're diving into a plot breakdown of 2024's Wicked and 2025's Wicked Part 2: For Good, and comparing it to the Broadway Musical and the 1995 book by Gregory Maguire. We are joined by self-described Wicked superfan Abbey Umali, as she brings her unique perspective on the stage production to the conversation. How well did the film capture the heart of the book and the musical? What changes worked—and which ones missed the mark?
In Part 2 we explore:
Major plot changes and timeline differences
Major omissions regarding political themes in the book and how they almost disappeared in the other adaptations
How the adaptations changed the tone and adult content of the book to appeal to a wider audience
Join hosts Chris, Jordyn, Sarah-Daye and special guest Abbey Umali as they break down what worked, what didn't, and whether this adaptation does the book justice.
