Kristin Chenoweth took to social media to share her thoughts after seeing the upcoming Wicked film. Chenoweth, who starred as Glinda in the original Broadway cast of Wicked, attended a special screening of the film in New York City last night, October 28.

"Oh my gosh, I just saw the movie and I'm dying, I'm deceased, I'm actually dead, I'm not here," Chenoweth gushed in a video clip posted on social media. "People are not going to be well when they see this film. It is so good, it is so special. The story is so wonderful, and Cynthia and Ariana are amazing. The whole cast is amazing. Jon Chu nailed it. I was so moved, emotional, happy, filled with joy. Please, everybody go see Wicked. You’ll be blessed."

Even her caption on the video read, "Y'ALL WON'T EVEN BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT IS. I'll never be the same!!!"
