I really don't think they will understand it.  it's a story of howElphaba turned green and a story of Glenda and Elphaba growing up in school. It's not the Wizard of Oz story but a preface to Oz

I didn't know it was 2 parts!

Current box office projections indicate an opening weekend in the wide range of $67 million to $125 million, likely to beat its competition,  Gladiator 2.

In any event it is likely to be a financial success during its initial theatrical run.

I am still trying to decide if I want to see it. I have seen ther show several times, and have tickets to see it again next summer. That said, I don't think that young kids will understand it or enjoy it if they aren't familiar with the Wizard of Oz. As the show progresses, you can see the tie-ins to the characters and story lines, and that is fun, but unless you know that history, it really won't make sense.

I see a lot of comments that sound just like my mother. She said that she knew I loved it, but even when I was singing songs from it, she just didn't hear anything that she would like, which is very true. She would have hated it.

I also don't see the need to make it in 2 parts and I am not a fan of Ariana Grande, so I am pretty sure I won't see it, but I have a friend who insists that we will! Cynthia Erivo is great, and I am sure will be a wonderful Elphaba. Actually, Ariana G will probably be fine, but, again, not seeing why this has to be two parts and a year apart since the whole thing has been filmed already.
