Review: Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande soar in ‘Wicked’ film adaptation

Like a broomstick hurtling from the sky, here comes the “Wicked” movie (or, rather, the first installment of the “Wicked” movies; the second comes next year) — and oh, I’m still catching my breath, in a very good way.

Dear Annie: I’d love your perspective on an issue I’m having with my adult daughter, who lives in another state. She visits every Christmas for several days but refuses to stay overnight at my home.
