Best Musical: “Wicked” (PG)

Louise Lawhead, Reporter
April 28, 2025
“The best way to bring folks together is to give them a real good enemy.” – “Wicked” (2024)

I already wrote an article about this movie, so go read that (after this one obviously) if you want to listen to my opinions! I highly recommend this to anyone, whether you like musicals or not. This movie is in my top 10 movies of all time and I will defend it until I die.

About the Contributor
Louise Lawhead
Louise Lawhead, Reporter
Louise Lawhead is a sophomore reporter and is looking forward to her second year on Tatler. She is most excited to write not only fun articles about media and trends but also articles on important subjects and advocacy. Outside of school, you may find her in musicals, constantly watching movies or hanging out with her friends. Besides show tunes, her go-to music artists are Tyler, the Creator, TV Girl, Reneé Rapp and Radiohead. If Louise were banned from watching “Carrie” or the original Broadway cast of “Newsies” ever again, she would delete all social media and change her identity. She is looking forward to spending another year with this amazing group!
