A stupid dumb boyfriend who doesn’t appreciate the talents of Cynthia Erivo has offered up his opinion today on the blockbuster film Wicked.
After agreeing to a weekend off the booze in the lead up to Christmas, The Advocate understands one Duncan Farley, (34) was dragged to see the film by his girlfriend on Saturday night, an experience made even worse by the fact the cinema was jam packed with ex-theatre sports kids who couldn’t help but sing along to every word.
Having sat through the two hour and 45 minute musical spectacular, which is only part one of the series, Duncan says the whole thing really could’ve been shorter.
Speaking to The Advocate as he settled his pudgy frame into the couch for a day of watching the test, it appears Duncan won’t be sprinting to the cinemas next year to watch the second half
“Only part one?! How many more bloody songs do they have to sing?” whined Duncan, as he began watching his silly bat and ball game which goes for five days, then played again in five different cities across summer.
“It was so boring!” he whimpered, as he watched another over of cricket which to his girlfriend, looked exactly the same as the over previously.
However Duncan’s experience of torture via musical is believed to one currently being mirrored across the country, as social media continues to drive hundreds of women back to the movies to watch of Ariana Grande and Jonathon Bailey leap about Munchkinland.
Speaking to Head of Customer Data at Hoyts Australia, Stephen Ritz, it’s believed one in three female ticket buyers have also dragged a boyfriend along.
“We believe with silly season around, lots of boyfriends are getting into trouble, and need a quick way to buy some brownie points to get out of the doghouse.”
“Agreeing to sit and watch three hours of Wicked is sure fire way to escape the heat, both from the sun and from the glares of getting home from the pub at 2am.”
