Christian.

Welcome Friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. Welcome to the Friday show. I'm Christian O'Connell. Good morning, Jack. Morning, guys. Happy Friday, Patsy. Hey! Guys, tonight, I am going to a fancy dress party. Really? It is a Friends 50th and they're a big, when they were a kid, they were a Barbie. So it's Barbie themed. As in the movie, really, okay? I'm going as Cowboy Ken.

Okay.

Love it.

Have you seen the movie, really, okay?

I'm going as Cowboy Ken.

Okay.

Love it. Have you seen the movie? I still haven't seen it, no. Oh, thank you. You're playing on going, okay. I can imagine it's just Ken with a bat with the cowboy hat on. You got it, my friend. And a frilly shirt. I've actually got the costume. Patsy, what are you up to this weekend?

Going to the premiere on Sunday of Wicked, The Screen Ademption.

I saw the costume. Patsy, what are you up to this weekend? Going to the premiere on Sunday of Wicked, the screen adaption. I saw the musical in London years ago when the kids were younger, which was brilliant. We saw a trailer when we went see Gladiator this week. It looks incredible. Amazing. It's a couple of casts from Bridgeton are in. Yes, yes. Ariana Grande is in it as well. Get the kids in. It looks amazing, so I'm really looking forward to. It's up against Gladiator then this weekend, isn't it? Two very different movies, two very different audiences. I heard a great fact about Wicked. Now, I forget who it is, Universal or Warner Brothers who makes Wicked, maybe Universal. No other of their properties has made more money than Wicked has. Really?

And it was only because a guy wanted to write the musical for it,

and he looked it up and saw that Universal owns the rights to it,

this idea of a prequel to Wizard of Oz,

and they weren't doing anything with it.

He's begged and begged them to make the musical,

and they're like, oh, right, who cares?

Make this musical.

It's made more than a billion dollars. It's a huge love the world. It's a brilliant story. I can see it at Disneyland having its own little theme park. Like, it's just going to get, be enormous. And what are you up to this weekend, Jackie Boy? I'm off to the Gold Coast

straight after the show

What's a gaudy this weekend
