from the trailer we didn't see much of her shedding that though did we. That small snippet of popular was very pop-y. But we'll have to see when it comes out
@@klaraf.b.9820 fam, popular is a pop-y ass broadway song. And I assume they mean her acting is on point in this trailer, her speaking voice even sounds completely different
The trailer gives a lot away, but I like that they are limiting how many musical numbers we are hearing. Wicked is one of my favorite musicals, and I'm so excited to see this.
I have a feeling they’re going to be adding a lot of stuff from the books that was left out of the musical to justify doing two movies. The second act of the musical actually took place over almost a decade in the books.
The trailer barely gives anything away and wicked has been around for so long since broadway and wizard of oz and has several books you still are missing a lot trust me I’ve seen the broadway before
I'm really looking forward to this. Wicked is one of my favorite musicals of all time, and it's about time it got a film adaptation. Arianna Grande is perfect for this role.
i thought it would be another generic film, but after seeing this trailer and researching the story i am simply obsessed and applauding the acting of those actors... hly shhh 🔥
The musical is amazing so I’m honestly afraid it won’t live up to that but at the same time I’m happy to see the film bring mainstream non-musical fans into the story. This is my Dune basically lol It’s just such a great story 💚
Trailer shows a lot but I guess you need to give people who haven't seen the show a good idea of what is about, and if you have seen the show it doesn't matter. 😂
I think they were trying to sell to people who’ve seen the show on the movie. You’re worried about Ariana? Ok we’ll show lots of her Glinda. You’re worried about Dr dillamond? Here he is and it’s Peter Dinklage voicing him. You didn’t like the defying gravity riff? Ok here’s more of the song and it’s gorgeous
@yolandapaulino5952 yeah, I think they're using the book to pad out the second act more, that's what a hardcore fan told me. But I don't know if I like how they're not marketing it as two parts. Is that something audiences like, an unexpected cliffhanger??
Wicked isn't exactly a prequel, it is a reimagining of the Wicked Witch and the story of her and Glindas time at Shiz University. But that's just part one of the first book in the series. The events of The Wizard of Oz take place within the book Wicked and there is so much depth given to Oz. Political intrigue, religious dogma. I recommend it, great book. Then there are the sequel books Son of the Witch, A Lion Among Men and Out of Oz.
Hopefully this film is based on the source material the novel! Everyone commenting, talks as though this is a movie version of the theater musical as though that is the original. It is not. The musical was based on a novel. I hope the novel is the source of this movie.
Looks so incredible. Can’t wait to see what they add to this from the books to flesh out the story even more. I’m getting shivers and tears already from what little music was played. I saw this in NYC when I was 16 and it was a core memory :-p
I watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time last year, I loved it, I've watched Return to Oz before when I was a kid, I was super confused and scared, I'm going to rewatch it one day to understand better. I'm at a time when I'm watching a lot of musicals, so I'm really looking forward to Wicked Part 1 and Part 2.
To be fair, they seem to be pretty ignorant about musical theatre in general. They had literally no idea who Stephen Sondheim was when they reacted to Glass Onion
Seriously?!?! Oh my gosh, that is shocking. It’s one thing to not have seen the play, but to not know what Wicked is or say you haven’t heard is completely different. I don’t mean to sound rude, but how heavy was that rock they were living under? I was a bit of a shut in when I was a kid/teenager, but I still heard of Wicked until I actually saw it when I was a senior in high school. That’s wild to think there are people who actually haven’t heard of Wicked.
I’m sooo excited!!! This is my favourite musical of all time. Really hope they do it justice. So many amazing musical numbers I just can’t wait. Please react to it!!
This will be the Movie inspired in the Musical (the actual Wicked production) inspired in the book (the Wicked book by Gregory Maguire) that was inspired by the Movie (the Judy Garland one) inspired in the Musical (yeah, the classic movie was more inspired by the Stage play musical that they made first) inspired in the Book (the original Frank L Baum one).
As a huge Wicked fan, I'm excited but still very cautiously optimistic. I've read the book & I've seen the show countless times. I've seen Cynthia in The Color Purple for which she won a Tony Award & she was fantastic in it! I'm still not sold on Ariana as Glinda, but we'll see.
@@caitlynskiff2001 Ariana was on Broadway ONCE when she was 15. And that was a loooong time ago in a galaxy that’s not even in this world. I don’t like that most people keep using that as their defense as to why she was cast. Yes, Ariana is talented but they should've chosen someone with a more legit Broadway sound. I've heard her sing Broadway before & it still sounds way too Pop-y for my taste. Like I said, I’m still excited but still very much cautiously optimistic. I’ll reserve judgement until I see the film.
The novel is brilliant, and was one of my favourite of the books I read that year. Went to see the musical with some friends, and all I remember is that it looked pretty. Looking forward to seeing the movie, as it may have more of the novel in it.
Yeah, the show tones down the novel a LOT. I believe a lot of the Broadway show creators were involved with this too, so I'm interested to see how they do it.
Great trailer! This movie premieres on my birthday so I'm looking forward to celebrate with a night at the cinema! I've seen the London musical twice but the last time was five years ago so I don't remember enough to be comparing things in my mind.
I saw Wicked pretty early on in it's Broadway run with all the original cast, except for Joel Grey as the Wizard. He was out that day, but his understudy did fine. One of my favorites. Loved Idina and Kristin and Leo as the mains. I really hope the movie doesn't screw anything up.
I know most people are describing this as a prequel to the Wizard of Oz, but the story just isn’t. Dorothy’s complete arc finished in the second act as well. This is more like the “behind the scenes, what was actually happening in Oz not shown in the Wizard of Oz propaganda film.”
The novel series was a quite interesting retelling, and the characters of the Wizards of Oz are basically unwitting pawns in a political assassination.
Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are the perfect duo! You need to react to Cynthia singing, she’s absolutely amazing and she is a wonderful actress. She only needs an Oscar to get her EGOT, so hopefully she will get her Oscar for Wicked! Ariana has wanted to play Glenda forever so she shed the pop star and really gave her all to portray her. She’s really paying respect to Kristin Chenoweth who was the original Glenda, you can hear it in the way she’s speaking and also singing! Can’t wait for this movie 🍿
I’m skeptical, when I heard they were making this into a movie. I thought it’s too cartoony for movies. It may be bad like Cats was. However this trailer gives me a bit of hope.
I hope they stick to the musical and not the book series that the musical was inspired by (That being Wicked years, not the ORIGINAL books) Because the musical was a corny but fun show, and the books were edgelord nonsense. Please don't borrow any more from those books than the names and basic setup. You know they'll at least change the story a little. It's not a straight adaptation from the Broadway show. It was supposed to be (though that may have changed) the same guy who did In the Heights, and while I liked a lot of that film, it had... issues. They made some weird story changes and shuffled things around in a weird way. ALSO, if story changes necessitate lyrical changes, I won't be able to sing along, and that will make me sad.
The only thing I didn't like about the trailer was that it gave away the entire plot it looks like, I've never seen it and am excited but I feel like I saw the whole movie plot in the trailer
I think y'all are gonna love these two movies. 🟢⚪ I read both the novel and am very familiar with the Broadway musical. These movies are meant to blend the two... plus with all the special effects that can only happen cinematically.
I never saw the musical, but having read the series of books, this looks like a god awful bastardization. Might still be a decent movie, but just in the trailer, it appears as if the great character of Elphaba has been changed quite a bit, and unnecessarily as she is such a great character to begin with. This trailer took me from a "can't wait to see it" to "I will wait for it to be free on some streamer or another"
I hope this surprises me because so far im not particularly impressed. Love the theatre show but im just not sold on this and i think its because of ariana unfortunately. I think everyone (except her) is perfectly cast. Hopefully im wrong but we shall see.
So nice you can RUIN this for others. You do KNOW Michelle Yeoh has won an Oscar, and Cynthia ERIVO has won Tonys, Emmys and Grammys? Have you? What gives you the authority to pass judgment on something you know ANYTHING about? Where is your Musical education from? Your choir experience?

And that’s why she’s incredible 😊

i know, though i feel like since it's such a popular musical and most people know the story they don't have to hold back in the trailer.
I have a feeling they’re going to be adding a lot of stuff from the books that was left out of the musical to justify doing two movies. The second act of the musical actually took place over almost a decade in the books.
Well tbf if u dont know the story of this musical thats existed for years its on you
It honestly doesn’t give that much away 😭😭imo

I'm really looking forward to this. Wicked is one of my favorite musicals of all time, and it's about time it got a film adaptation. Arianna Grande is perfect for this role.
If you told me that Chenowith had ADR's all of Ariana's lines I would 100% believe you.
Ariana and Cynthia are going to be a great and fantastic duo
i thought it would be another generic film, but after seeing this trailer and researching the story i am simply obsessed and applauding the acting of those actors... hly shhh 🔥

well time to make Eric watch Return to Oz. if we have to have the Wheelers in our nightmares then so should he.
I loved that movie as a kid. I saw it at just the right age to love the creepy weirdness instead of being traumatized, lol.
Return to Oz gives a _much_ better feel of what Frank L Baum's books were like.
He wrote some seriously weird stuff.
Trailer shows a lot but I guess you need to give people who haven't seen the show a good idea of what is about, and if you have seen the show it doesn't matter. 😂

I'm watching because it's to do with wizard of oz , lol 😂
Yeah I have no idea what wicked is about and I had no interest until this trailer 😂
I think they’ll add a lot since this a two part movie

Wicked is the first and only musical I’ve seen in person, I’m soooooo excited for this

🤣😂
@bradkirchhoff5703 I don't think that was a joke... Why should it? She's excellent
yes!!!
The cast is what caught my eye. We’ll see how this comes across in theaters.
Also, really long trailer - I hope they didn’t show the best scenes
it's obvious that they didn't. especially if you know what's not showed yet.
@@erenhypen4718Well, that's made me more excited as someone who never gets to see the Boardway version.
I feel like we got little tastes of what is going to be a phenomenal film.
Ariana is doing an amazing job as Glenda.
Can't wait to see her defy Mavity
🏆
I see the doctor who reference 😂
I don’t know anything about Wicked but I’m ready to hear Defying Gravity on the big screen.
I haven't been this excited for a movie in a long time! I am like a big kid. :)
I NEED to hear No Good Deed
You’re going to be waiting a long time. It’s being split into 2 movies and the second part won’t be out until November 2025.
I think that’s act 2. Next year.
Looks so incredible. Can’t wait to see what they add to this from the books to flesh out the story even more. I’m getting shivers and tears already from what little music was played. I saw this in NYC when I was 16 and it was a core memory :-p
I watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time last year, I loved it, I've watched Return to Oz before when I was a kid, I was super confused and scared, I'm going to rewatch it one day to understand better.
I'm at a time when I'm watching a lot of musicals, so I'm really looking forward to Wicked Part 1 and Part 2.
Also guys if you didn’t know this is part 1 of 2. Part 2 should be released at around the same time next year and likely will be act 2 of the play 🙂
Oh boy, that must've been a hell of a shock if you were expecting this kind of Oz from the HBO Oz show. 😱
Wicked the one of THE most popular plays in the world! How could these guys not have heard of it?!
To be fair, they seem to be pretty ignorant about musical theatre in general. They had literally no idea who Stephen Sondheim was when they reacted to Glass Onion

This looks awesome I'm seated
ariana is so good actress, queen pop, shes everything
HOTD already 😆. Come on!
I love the idea of somebody sitting down to watch hbos OZ thinking it has something to do with the movie 😂😂😂
You definitely need to react to Megalapolis by Ford Coppola. 👌
Looks great 👍🏿

The book is great! Much darker though.

Lmao not the television show Oz hahaha
It was Oscar winner Michelle yeoh in that not just Arianna grande
I hope they get the political intrigue and metaphor right.
