Can you sing along to “Wicked” show tunes in a movie theater? Depends on who you ask. The cinematic retelling of the famed Broadway musical has sparked a debate online among die-hard fans about whether it’s appropriate to belt along with the on-screen cast while at the movies. Moviegoers who spoke to NBC News said they expect excited “theater kids” to know the etiquette of not singing over the actors during the show.
“It was always way too expensive to go because it was just so popular,” said Lexi Williams, 30, who listened to the “Wicked” soundtrack religiously as a teen. “I still haven’t seen it. So when they announced that the movie was coming out, I was like, ‘Oh, that’s gonna be great.’” Part one of the film, directed by Jon Chu, also stars Jonathan Bailey as the love interest, Fiyero, and Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University headmaster Madame Morrible.
