Former ‘Wicked’ Star Shoshana Bean Shares Why She Hasn’t Seen the First ‘Wicked’ Movie Yet
Shoshana Bean, known for her role as Elphaba on Broadway from 2005 to 2006, revealed why she has not yet watched Wicked: Part 1, even though the sequel, Wicked: For Good, is set to hit theaters in November.
Waiting to Watch Both Films Together
Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the New York Restoration Project Hulaween Gala on October 24, Bean explained her decision to hold off on viewing the first film.
“I waited until the second, so I could watch them back-to-back,” said Bean, 48, expressing her excitement to experience both movies in succession.
Anticipation for the Film Adaptation of “No Good Deed”
Bean is particularly eager to see how the song “No Good Deed” is brought to life on screen.
“It’s a very cinematic song, and I would love to see it have more life than what a stage is capable of doing,” she said. “I could not even possibly imagine to the extent that Jon Chu’s genius can dream, can create.”
Her enthusiasm reflects her deep connection to the musical and her anticipation for its fresh interpretation through film.
Summary
Shoshana Bean chooses to watch the Wicked films consecutively and looks forward to seeing iconic songs like “No Good Deed” fully realized on the big screen.
