Wicked...On The Beach

 Down at the shore, many of the towns feature "Movies on the Beach" during the summer.
The company that puts on the shows, has a huge blow up screen and projector,
and generally shows some of the old, classic movies.
It doesn't really matter what's playing, it's so fun to sit on the beach at night and watch a flick.
We bring our own chairs and snacks, the hubs popped a bag of popcorn before we left,
and we eat more finger food during the movie here, then we ever would at home.
There may have been some boardwalk ice cream too!

We watched Wicked










I had never seen Wicked and I did not know much about the movie.
I picked up all of the references to The Wizard of Oz...
I did not know it was a musical and it will not go down in time as one of my favorites.
So many of the scenes were very dark, not colorful...and I thought the movie was a little intense.
I enjoyed watching Glinda and Elphaba, the main characters, 
develop such a close friendship even though they were so different.

How fun to see a movie on the beach and you captured some amazing photos! I saw Wicked and liked the music but was not as enthralled by the show or movie as many. My grown kids and grandkids LOVED it...

I have never seen this movie, though I know it's streaming. I should put it on my list.

I haven't seen Wicked either and I probably won't. Just didn't seem my cup of tea. I've never watched a movie on the beach but I have been (in years past) gone to a drive-in theatre. That was fun.

What a wonderful summer evening! Gathering a community on the beach at night for entertainment takes the pressure, (I hope) off what is in the news.

I loved this movie! I have been listening to the soundtrack all the time since seeing it. It got me through my recent kitchen cabinet refinishing project haha. I can't wait for the next one to come out in November!

I haven't seen it either, as much as I like music, we are not much into musicals. But like you said the fun is going to the beach and watching it :)
