Ahead of the worldwide theatrical release of Wicked, fans have been warned not to sing along to its award-winning soundtrack.

Ryan Noonan, an AMC spokesman, told IndyStar: “The Wicked pre-show spot incorporates the themes of the film as a fun, engaging reminder to moviegoers to not disrupt the experience for those around them as they enjoy the show.”
Despite this, some fans have taken to social media to slam the warning and admit they would find it hard to resist the film’s interpretation of the hit Broadway and West End musical.
@ShobazKhan insisted: “People should be allowed to sing,” as @b1nse confessed: “I’m worried that if I watch Wicked, I can’t shut up and just start singing in the theatre.”
