No 'Wicked' Singing Allowed

If you went to see 'Wicked: Part One' on opening weekend, I'm sure you noticed a new warning added to the movie watching no-no list: No talking, no texting, and NO SINGING.

I've never seen the musical 'Wicked', but I 100 percent know I would love it AND that it would be VERY hard for me not to singalong to the beloved songs if I knew them word for word.

I also know that my singing voice is no special treat and that some people might find it distracting when they are trying to watch a movie, so I totally understand why theaters are warning moviegoers to keep their traps shut.

If you're super bummed that singing isn't allowed in the theater while watching 'Wicked' don't worry, your time to shine is coming soon.

'Wicked' Movie Sing-alongs Coming Soon

According to Variety;

Interactive showings of Universal’s upcoming movie musical will be offered in roughly 1,000 North American cinemas starting on Dec. 25

Ok, cool! Now the big question is; what Illinois theaters will the interactive 'Wicked' showings be coming to?

Here's the answer...for now...from WGN in Chicago;

Specific theater locations that will offer the sing-alongs have not yet been announced.

Bummer. I think it's a safe bet some movie theaters in the Chicago area will be showing the special interactive screenings of 'Wicked', but what about Showplace 16 in Rockford and Showplace 14 in Machesney Park? The truth shall be revealed soon.
