In collaboration with <strong>SM Aura Premier</strong>, Metro partnered with <strong>Tim Yap </strong>and <strong>Tessa Prieto</strong> to host a <em>Wicked: For Good</em> private screening with their friends. </p><p>&quot;I like <strong>Jon Chu</strong>&#x27;s direction, and of course, Cynthia&#x27;s portrayal and Ariana&#x27;s. Their chemistry is something else. They truly have the best friendship,&quot; Tim said. </p><p>Tessa, on the other hand, also shared what she loves about the <em>Wicked </em>and its stars, Cynthia and Ariana, pointing out &quot;the energy they have together and the emotional connection&quot; and how &quot;every scene is tear-jerking.&quot;</p><p>Following the yellow brick road at SM Aura’s cinema area led guests to the <strong>Director’s Club 3</strong>, an intimate 32-seater movie theater with recliner seats, a specialized menu, and butler service. </p><div><em></em><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764436050418Wicked Metro4-2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Metro team (from left) Managing Editor Rick Formalejo, People &amp; Weddings editor Grace Libero-Cruz, Fashion Editor Randz Manucom, Marketing Head Mari Santiago (first from right), and Metro Editor-in-Chief Geolette Esguerra (second from right) with Tessa Prieto and Tim Yap </span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764438552554metro wicked for good special screening at sm auraIMG_8754.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Fay Castro and Antonio Valdez | Photo by Rick Formalejo</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764438625214metro wicked for good special screening at sm auraIMG_8810.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Johann Enriquez and Sheena Lee Palad | Photo by Rick Formalejo<br/><br/></span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764436248860Wicked Metro8-2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Geolette Esguerra<br/><br/></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764436778324Wicked Metro6-2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">SM Aura&#x27;s Director&#x27;s Club 3</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>But before the screening, the event kicked off with cocktails at SM Aura’s<strong> Event Screen</strong>, a private cinema where you can host private events like watch parties, gaming sessions, or karaoke.</p><p>Within the same area is a <strong>Wine Bar</strong>, which currently offers specialized drinks, called <strong>Oz So-Good Cocktails</strong>; the two drinks, <strong>Ozmopolitan </strong>and <strong>Witches Brew</strong>, which, you might have guessed, come in colors green and pink, representing Elphaba and Glinda.</p><p><em>Wicked: For Good </em>was good and entertaining, with the right balance of drama and humor.
