Watch "Wicked" (Cinema)

Please note: The cinema schedule is now out. This is the final date and time for this MeetUp.

Description: Come and watch part one of the cinematic adaptation of the hit musical based on the best-selling novel (yes, the film is also a musical, you can't tell that from most of the trailers). The story draws inspiration from the "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" verse and serves as an (potential) origin story for the main witches.

The film will be in the original English language with German and French subtitles.

We will meet at the cinema at approximately 19:35. Film starts at 19:45.

Running time: 160 minutes

You are responsible for purchasing your own ticket. Please do this online via the Quinnie website (https://www.quinnie.ch/de/bern/kinoprogramm/wochenprogramm/film/163735.html) prior to the event.

Our seats are row 6, 8 - 12. Please purchase your adjacent seat so that we can sit together. Please post in the comments your seat number(s) so that all participants can see and we can coordinate.

Please make sure you have the correct cinema, there are many clustered together in the same area.

How to find us: If you are joining directly at the cinema, please just go directly to the seats and introduce yourself.

Dinner before: We'll have dinner before at our place (please ask me for the address via direct message) at 18:00. We will provide vegetable soup (vegetarian), bread and some festive ham. If that does not suit your dietary requirements/preferences please bring something suitable along for you to eat. Otherwise, no need to bring anything this time round. When we watch something at someone's home we ask that each guest bring something, but since we go to the cinema afterwards this does not make sense logistically. Please confirm your participation in dinner asap, so that we know how many people to cater for and know where to expect to be meeting up with you. We would like to welcome as many people as possible. We can seat 8 people at the dinner table, but since it is soup, we can accommodate 6 more people in the living room area if folks are willing to drink the soup out of cups. It's open plan so people can move and socialize. So that's max 14 people for dinner. In the unlikely event you are the 15th person signing up, then unfortunately we'll meet you direct at the cinema.

After dinner we will walk (if weather allows) or take the bus from our place to the cinema. In case we end up using public transport, be ready to buy an old school ticket at the machine, if you are not using the SBB app.
