A lot of people are annoyed while watching Wicked because some Hardcore OZ fans decided to sing along during the scenes of "Popular" and "Defying Gravity"

Just because the movie is a Musical it doesnt mean you have to sing too. To solve the problem, They will release a sing along version with lyrics on screen for people who wants to sing on Christmas. Theaters are begging people who will watch the regular version to please not sing.

Lol am pretty sure most of them would obey this sign. They are definitely going to sing.

[Netherrealmer]

There are complaints againts singing people during the Premiere. the movie just made 165 million on its 1st day but also evicted some people on the theater for singing loud.

I want to go with my kids, I hope people won't Sing during the movie, it can ruins it.

[Netherrealmer]

They hope people who likes singing will watch the sing along version on Christmas instead.

[MysticMoons]

this is so funny! Im gonna go see it!! but i need to be drunk and go to the sing along... version!! lol

[Netherrealmer]

They also banned green body paint because it ruins the chairs, they are forcing Elphaba cosplayers to wash their face and hands

[MysticMoons]

they should at least let them have it on the face! the hands i understand...
The Rock says people can sing at his new movie Moana lol

While it's understandable that fans are excited and want to participate, singing along can disrupt the experience for other attendees and the performers. The magic of live theater lies in the atmosphere and the professional performances, and respecting that helps everyone enjoy the show to its fullest.

I am just imagining a cinema hall where viewers are all singing along. It is a whole new experience if you ask me and I think they should create a different hall for viewers that want to sing because I am one of such.

this lyrics from defying gravity makes me laugh:

Nobody in all of Oz, No Wizard that there is there was is every gonna bring me down


Yeah she is right no one from Oz can destroy her....

But this Farm girl from Kansas named Dorothy did.

I heard that, and it's fair. There will be sing along sessions to go to if people want to do that. If I go to a movie musical I'm there to hear the actors sing, not some random in the audience.

[Netherrealmer]

some of the randoms are delulu who thinks they can sing. Well even people who can sing can be annoying since its not them you paid for to hear singing.

First people should know how to behavior in cinema.
Second we should not complain about everything around us.
Third: will cinema forbid screams during horror movies?

[germainebull]

Releasing a sing-along version with lyrics on screen for those who love to belt out "Popular" and "Defying Gravity" gives everyone the best of both worlds. Hardcore fans get their chance to sing their hearts out without disturbing others who prefer a quieter viewing experience. Plus, the festive timing around Christmas makes it a fun and inclusive way to enjoy the movie together.

It’s always a challenge balancing the enthusiasm of superfans with the enjoyment of general audiences. This idea turns a potential annoyance into an engaging and entertaining event. Imagine the holiday cheer with families and friends singing along to their favorite Wicked songs!

Damn people in the sing along version are out of tune:

This one even brought back up dancers:
