Michelle Yeoh in ‘Wicked: For Good’: The Critics Weigh In
The Oscar-winning Malaysian actor and action star known for doing her own stunts is presently making her ‘Wicked’ character terrifying to all who view her. ‘Wicked: for Good’ opened Friday [Nov 22, 2025] and Apple News decided to deliver a horror story of a review to Anne’s Saturday inbox: ‘Wicked: For Good’ Is Very, Very Bad.’ Thanks Apple. What a way to start my day.
The title alone of Justin Chang’s New Yorker review caused such consternation that AOC couldn’t believe we were so stupid as to recommend that Britain’s Mulberry brand back the symbolically-rich sisterhood-in-action vision of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande together in their return to Oz.
What do everyday people think of the movie? The film ‘Wicked: For Good’ brought in $150 million in North America and $226 milion worldwide, over its Friday opening weekend.
The film now marks the biggest opening weekend ever for a Broadway musical adaptation, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Mid-afternoon on Monday, ‘Wicked: For Good’ had a positive critic’s score of 70% but the audience rating is 95%.

Blue, to Shu Qi, holds the deep sea of feelings, and through each character‘s lived experience, Shu Qi pours herself out completely.

Adut Akech & Kiki Cover Vogue Australia November 2025 by Campbell Addy
Now that Anne has gotten over seeing supermodel Adut Akech wearing Jarrod Reid, reminding her of famed ballet dancer Judith Jamison on stage in ‘Cry’, she can think straight.
If only AOC could commission photographer Campbell Addy [IG], creator of these stunning images for the November 2025 issue of Vogue Australia [IG], to capture that famous, powerful and transformational American ballet with his creative eye.
Campbell Addy also takes the interview, which is really nice. You can read the convo between the creatives on Vogue Australia.
Adut’s Advice to Kiki
Artist Addy asks Adut what advice she would give to daughter Kiki when she grows up.
“I would give her the same advice I was given, and that is, no matter what you do in this life or where you go, or where your journey takes you, do your absolute best to try and remain true to your authentic self.”
