It’s annoying when they do it for sure. And personally, I love a long movie. I’d rather watch a three hour epic than two 90 minute movies.
But I don’t have the attention span of a goldfish like many people seem to have these days. So it’s understandable that they feel the need to split, especially if there’s going to be kids watching it.
I like a good epic as much as the next person, but this is pushing 3 hours itself. Assuming Part 2 is similar, I definitely don’t have the attention span to hold me through a 5 1/2 hour, 2-part musical. Yikes.
I’m trying to think of any musical that would be tolerable at 2x the original runtime.

I hadn’t seen the runtime before; you’re right! 161 minutes! That’s definitely three hours with trailers and intermission. Yowza.
It does seem strange to have a part 2 with that much runtime.
