There is Christian concern for Wicked, but at its heart, it’s a story about friendship

Alex Noel says Wicked is: ‘a moral tale about good versus evil - an allegory like so many of our best loved fairytales. And one which grapples with a profound question: ‘Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?’

There’s been a lot of buzz about Wicked, the film adaptation of the long-running hit musical, released in November. It may be a film about witches, but at its heart Wicked is a story about friendship. More so, it’s about a complex friendship between two women, one which swings between loathing and love, acceptance and rejection.
