Shoutout to the lady behind me in the theater who didn’t know it was based on The Wizard of Oz until Elphaba got the invitation from the Wizard. She yelled “Oooooooooh” and I’ve been laughing about it non stop.
I saw someone today who walked out because she didn't know it was about witches. She thought because Ariana was wearing pink it was about a Princess. 🤦♂
@@SeeJay81 I’m giving the benefit of the doubt and hope she’s sarcastic because there’s no way you miss all that promotional materials showing Elphaba prior to watching
This movie did not feel like almost 3 hours?!?!?! I was sobbing through l'm not that girl" and gagging over the runs🔥🤯! Johnathan ATE dancing through life! I didn't breathe I felt like through so many of the songs! "The Wizard and I" I mean WHATTTT! I had no words! Not only was it vocally incredible, but you felt the youth and innocence from her! That's incredible acting! "Popular" was such a perfect mix of musical theater with pop, with hints of Ariana's Galinda, and Kristen's Galinda! The cast chemistry is everything, especially Ariana and Cynthia!
Everyone is talking about Cynthia and Ariana but can we talk about how Jonathan Bailey was absolutely perfect casting for Fiyero - the man is dripping with charm and charisma, just perfection
Everyone was wiping away tears as the credits rolled. Such a powerful film, and ending in Defying Gravity was just a powerful, moving moment. People burst into applause when the TO BE CONTINUED came onscreen.
Dancing Through Life is THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL song in the show in terms of sending everything in the direction that determines the fates of all the main characters.
@@hanonondricek411ugh I wanted to like it but I didn’t love it 😭 I thought his execution was a little too pop-y/whiney at some points but maybe I need to rewatch the scene
You're so right about Ariana, I saw it at the IMAX theater last night and there were moments that I forgot I was watching a movie, she was just all around me and doing so well. She embodies that role so fully. I also loved the actress who plays Nessa, it was such a sweet performance from her and her facial expressions were perfection! I knew Cynthia would be perfect so I am not surprised that I was right about that but even knowing that she blew me away. I'm also glad they brought Pfannee and ShenShen back from the book, they were great additions to the experience!
I also sat there for 15 mins after the ending. Sat through all the end credits and I felt bad for the staff who kept coming in to try and clean the theater, and then stepped out to give me my moments of reflection and healing.
Saw it last night. It was AMAZING!!!!!! When it was over, the entire crowd screamed and clapped. I've never seen that in the movie theater before. It didn't feel like 2 hours and 40 minutes at all.
Why just Ariana Grande? I’m starting to notice an emerging pattern of people being a bit more impressed by her than Cynthia Erivo. Is it because she is kind of surprising people more? Because she’s more well-known as the singer, even though she has done acting in the past?
@@Rosannasfriendcynthia is not getting that best actress nomination, the oscar race for best actress is very tight and competitive versus the best supporting actress race which is more up in the air. they both did great, but ariana has more of a chance getting a nomination
Ok so I normally don’t cry during movies but “I’m not that girl” REALLY hit a nerve and then the club scene with Elphaba and Glinda dancing together took me out. Just bawling in the movie theatre 😂
was shocked by just how good this movie was, i'm already planning to see it again! glad you loved it as much. (matt palmer is wrong about dancing through life though, it's the best!)
The fact that Ariana had singing lessons shows how much she wanted to nail Glinda’s voice and style. She was my MVP. I was surprised and floored by her performance
Now I'm dying to see this!!! I've never seen the musical, I know, and really only heard the major hits so was excited to see what I've been missing. Y'all sold me on it wow!!
This movie was being expectations. They managed the perfect balance between respecting the original broadway show and elevating it into a full cinematic experience
I'm Not That Girl didnt phase me in the show, but it hit me HARD in the movie. Also Jonathan Bailey was having so much fun in Dancing Through Life I wanted to be him haha! The talent in this movie was absolute next level and I'm so glad I'm in the generation that saw OG show and now gets the payoff of an amazing movie adaptation!
I saw it last Monday- Nov 25- and agree with every thought ,feelings etc you just emoted.The relationship and love and respect that grew between Galinda and Elpheba was “it”.Period.The authenticity is overwhelming.and when Galinda places the pink flower behind Elpheba’s ear,shivers.That was the acme moment when Elpheba really thought she was beautiful.I have to see it again because there was so much I know I must have missed.Love,love,love it.💓💓
I watched it earlier today (Nov 23) and my party all stayed in the theater through the credits just talking to each other about it. We all enjoyed it, and we had a _range_ of Oz/Wicked fans. Loved it. Thanks for the review! 💚💖
I loved it! I took my 12 year old and 3 of her friends to see it and they were obsessed! They are already trying to convince me to let them skip school next year to see part 2!
I just watched it yesterday… and am blown away. I can’t wait to watch this reaction. Absolutely loved the movie and Ariana really surprised me… she’s so funny and did the character justice. Cynthia’s amazing and Jonathon… wow what a freaking cast!!!! Superb. I hope they win everything and Cynthia gets her EGOT! 🤞🏼
I listen to dancing through life a lot when I listen to the album because I love to sing the Boq and Nessa parts. the story, the emotion, the drama, the wording! I'm obsessed with wicked 😭
Saw the show with my family and they were like "that was fun" and i was like "ARE YOU KIDDING THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!" so i came here to obsess eith my people. 😆
I feel like I've been waiting for this movie for a decade. I know and love all the songs. My standards were unreasonable, and yet, they somehow surpassed them. The acting and singing were so on point. The film just oozes charm and charisma. I got chills SO many times from just the perfection of the choices they made. I was fighting back tears seeing Idina and Kristin show up--and get to sing! I thought this movie would be overhyped, but I was so utterly charmed. I can't wait to go back for a singalong version.
Exactly my sentiments too! I would’ve been so disappointed if the talk wasn’t true and it didn’t turn out that great. But… I’m so happy with the result. I also expected a lot and … it totally delivered
Hands down INCREDIBLE. Every single person. I agree that wizard and I was def top tier for me. And also dancing through life..Jonathan Bailey 😍😍 the man is talented and I just love him. Cynthia anytime she opened up her mouth to sing..a puddle. Ariana…comical genius. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Give them all the awards. I’m ready.
The moment they’re about to jump off the building hit so hard bc Glinda was actually about to jump with Elphaba but the guards pulled her away 😭 the story was THAT close to being completely different
You don’t know how many straight cis white men I had to sift through in order to find y’all. I NEEDED this perspective on the review of Wicked!! Keep doing what you’re doing ❤
Wow what a great review. I definitely can't wait to see it in the theatre. And that you say how" defying gravity " was so stretched because it's such a good song you never want it to end, I can't wait to see. Im watching it multiple times probably. Will you guys watch the hyped bio of Michael Jackson next year? The will have at least 30 songs by him . I can't wait for more music and cinema combined.. it will be awesome. Thanks
The one thing that annoys me is that for the soundtrack they cleaned the audio so it doesn’t have the sound effects from the film. I need the feet stomps and everything else that are in the movie! It’s like missing the percussion beat. And the mixing or something is off. Am I crazy???!!!
Cast by fans? No one had even remotely thought about mentioning Cynthia and Ariana for these roles when it was announced. Even right up unto the day it started opening did people start saying how great they are. Fans were actively against both of these amazing women being anywhere near the show. Trust the man with the vision... Speaking of The Wizard and I, did you not notice that the birds she disturbd were Bluebirds? All fitting in with the rainbow...
Shoutout to the lady behind me in the theater who didn’t know it was based on The Wizard of Oz until Elphaba got the invitation from the Wizard. She yelled “Oooooooooh” and I’ve been laughing about it non stop.
LMAO I didn’t have anyone that clueless in my showing unfortunately. The prospect of someone having no idea of the connection is so hilarious
@ Right? Even if she went to the movie not knowing, there are still numerous Wizard of Oz references before that.
I saw someone today who walked out because she didn't know it was about witches. She thought because Ariana was wearing pink it was about a Princess. 🤦♂
@@SeeJay81 I’m giving the benefit of the doubt and hope she’s sarcastic because there’s no way you miss all that promotional materials showing Elphaba prior to watching
That's hilarious! Not thr munshkins on the beginning, not the bubble, not the green skin but the wizard being mentioned 😂😂😂😂
This movie did not feel like almost 3 hours?!?!?!

I hope he wins all the awards! He’s fantastic and played this part so well. Charming, cute, hunky, deeply talented, and just amazing
Swooning over the Dancing Through Life sequence. Jonathan can exude hotness fully clothed. Haha
Sometimes being fully clothed is even sexier
I love how freshly excited you two are because that was how I was. What a triumph of a musical movie. Cynthia and Ariana deserve their Oscar noms.
No pressure but I’m going to need a full 2 hour review from you guys. Love you!

Dancing Through Life is THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL song in the show in terms of sending everything in the direction that determines the fates of all the main characters.
I have never liked Dancing Through Life until this movie and Johnathan Bailey.

@@RosannasfriendI think it is because she surprised a lot of people, she really did play Galinda to perfection!
her oscar loss will be penance for years of blackfishing. only then will she be free from her curse.
My showing is in 4 hours AH IM SO EXCITED
Have a great time !
I LOVED ITTT
I saw it last night and when I tell you the theater was PACKED!!! I loved every single moment of it!
Ok so I normally don’t cry during movies but “I’m not that girl” REALLY hit a nerve and then the club scene with Elphaba and Glinda dancing together took me out. Just bawling in the movie theatre 😂
Yes! When Cynthia was crying… I did too.
was shocked by just how good this movie was, i'm already planning to see it again! glad you loved it as much. (matt palmer is wrong about dancing through life though, it's the best!)
The fact that Ariana had singing lessons shows how much she wanted to nail Glinda’s voice and style. She was my MVP. I was surprised and floored by her performance
Same 😂😂😂 she’s so freaking funny as Glinda. Her toss toss of the hair, every little foot kick, her face when she frowns. I was pleasantly surprised
The joy you both have is positively infectious!!! ❤️❤️❤️
The visuals during the climax of "The Wizard and I" also felt like a foreshadowing (just like the lyrics) of her future in Oz
Now I'm dying to see this!!! I've never seen the musical, I know, and really only heard the major hits so was excited to see what I've been missing. Y'all sold me on it wow!!
Feel free to come to England in the UK to recreate the cliff scene. That cliff is part of the real White Cliffs of Dover here in England 😊

The running in the field during The Wizard and I reminded me of the Sound of Music.

I saw it last night! Loved it! Haven’t watched this channel for a bit and was looking for Matt Steele in the ensemble the whole time lol
I loved it! I took my 12 year old and 3 of her friends to see it and they were obsessed! They are already trying to convince me to let them skip school next year to see part 2!
Give cynthia and Ariana their EGOTs for this masterpiece
I just watched it yesterday… and am blown away. I can’t wait to watch this reaction. Absolutely loved the movie and Ariana really surprised me… she’s so funny and did the character justice. Cynthia’s amazing and Jonathon… wow what a freaking cast!!!! Superb. I hope they win everything and Cynthia gets her EGOT! 🤞🏼
I went yesterday and I want to go again ASAP!!!!!
MEEEEE
Ok fine... I'll go see it by myself because now I can't wait LOL
I listen to dancing through life a lot when I listen to the album because I love to sing the Boq and Nessa parts. the story, the emotion, the drama, the wording! I'm obsessed with wicked 😭
The movie was fantastic but the last number was just breathtaking I had goosebumps I left the theatre SPEECHLESS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If this film doesn’t rack up Oscars
It would be a devastating tragedy for real
watched y’all’s reaction to Eternal sunshine and here i am again for wicked! what a year
Jon M. Chu directed In the Heights too!
He should win for this movie!
Saw the show with my family and they were like "that was fun" and i was like "ARE YOU KIDDING THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!" so i came here to obsess eith my people. 😆

not only that, but also if the balloon had escaped!! her first instict was to go w/ Elphaba, if the balloon had left with them, she would've
You don’t know how many straight cis white men I had to sift through in order to find y’all. I NEEDED this perspective on the review of Wicked!! Keep doing what you’re doing ❤
New subscriber here. You two are FABULOUS!
Please do a full review on the soundtrack!
Maybe because I’m seeing them everywhere, but I definitely know who is the Elphaba and the Glinda between you two 😹
Matt you could’ve been Boq’s brother in the movie, if he had one lol (I mean this in the best way)
Seeing the trailer, my initial reaction was “why Ariana Grande?”
But I was so wrong.. she delivered! 👏🏽
Wow what a great review. I definitely can't wait to see it in the theatre. And that you say how" defying gravity " was so stretched because it's such a good song you never want it to end, I can't wait to see. Im watching it multiple times probably.

I already saw twice and i cannot get over it. it was so emotional and perfect, and as an arianator i am realized 💚💚💚💚💗💗💗💗
Im not into musicals but I did go watch Wicked and omg CYNTHIA AND ARIANA ATE DOWN 🤌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The Wizard and I was beautiful
I have seen it twice already lol
Give th Ed m both their Oscar’s. Grammys, and golden globes!!!
It was so incredible.
The one thing that annoys me is that for the soundtrack they cleaned the audio so it doesn’t have the sound effects from the film. I need the feet stomps and everything else that are in the movie! It’s like missing the percussion beat. And the mixing or something is off. Am I crazy???!!!
Ariana for the Oscar!!!
Ariana and Cynthia killed it!
Loved it!
... it was prefect🥺
ITS SO GOOOD ❤😢

Cool, we're finally getting a real life "men on film". like the old sketch from "in living color", just not as mean 😃
Haaaaaated it!
6:43 you need to hold space?
GIVE THEM THE OSCARS ATP
O cara enrola, enrola, cheio de caras e bocas, e do filme mesmo , nao fala uma coisa que sirva .Enfim, dois chatos.
