Hundreds attend early screening of 'Wicked: For Good' to benefit Children's Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Hundreds couldn't resist a chance to see "Wicked: For Good" a little early. 

The movie was showing as part of Marcus Theatres' Hollywood Movie Night Monday, Nov. 17. 

People dressed up as their favorite "Wicked" characters, got some special snacks, took photos, and took part in Wicked-themed activities -- all for a good cause. 

"The work that we do at Children's [Wisconsin] is not possible without events like this. We rely on the generosity of the community, Children's {Wisconsin} is founded by the community, we rely on generosity," said Christine Baranoucky with Children's Wisconsin Foundation. 

Now in its seventh year, Hollywood Movie Night has helped raise over $600,000 for Children's Wisconsin.
