Whether you’re a seasoned pro or brand new to dramatic storytelling, it’s a great chance to dive deeper into narrative structure and connect with fellow enthusiasts.

Last night we had a fantastic analysis session digging into the narrative structure of “Wicked” (Part One). We got pretty close to identifying a storyform that matched what we saw on-screen, but we hit a couple of intriguing challenges right near the finish line:

Specifically, we found ourselves debating two key points:

- **Problem-Solving Style:** Is the story leaning more toward a Linear or Holistic approach?
- **Story Outcome:** Did the first film conclude with a narrative Success or a Failure?

We’d love to open up this conversation and hear your perspectives—especially from those who couldn’t join us last night. How do you see the problem-solving style in “Wicked”? And based on the ending, would you call it a Success or Failure?

Looking forward to your insights!

Sounds like I need to watch this! (Family went to the theater without me when it was out, but I can probably convince them to re-watch.)

Oh, I would _greatly_ love that - to get your input on it!
