Hollywood realizes that a large portion of movie goers avoid musicals. Thus, most commercials for musicals dance around the fact that the movie is a musical.
Recently, Mean Girls, Wonka, The Color Purple, and now Wicked, were all advertised that way. Oddly, most new musicals have done pretty well--it's almost as if we're approaching a new Golden Age, but no one is allowed to acknowledge that.
The only think I disliked about the Wicked trailer is that, apparently, Elfy rifts the high note in Defying Gravity. THAT is THE money note. She needs to belt it to the heavens. |
