Episode 913: Holding Space for Wicked - Magic or Misdirection?

With the dust now well and truly settled, Nick sits down with Ruby – a self-confessed Wicked obsessive – to take a long look back at the two film adaptations. Together they explore what Wicked has meant to them personally over the last 25 years, how their relationship with the show has evolved, and whether the films live up to the stage phenomenon that defined a generation of theatre-goers. From big emotional highs to creative choices that divided opinion, Nick and Ruby dig into what worked, what didn't, and why Wicked continues to provoke such passionate responses.
