Ariana seems like she’s gonna be a great Glinda. Erivo isn’t hitting for me but I think it’s a directing issue. (Why is SHE surprised she’s green? She was born green!)

This looks absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait. I wasn’t sure how they were going to split it into two parts, but I am very intrigued by the flashes of the additional scenes. Heart and female friendship are the core of Wicked, and the trailer gives hope that they did those justice.
And I simply cannot wait for Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba. Her voice is one of my very favorites. And is that a different riff for Defying Gravity than the one we heard before?

I think sometimes the issue with translating a stage musical to a movie is that, acting on a stage play is supposed to be âbigâ. Whereas in a movie, it can come across as over acting.
I *love* Wicked. Itâs my favourite musical. But, Iâm nervous for the movie.

I’m surprised at the lack of part one/part two marketing going on here at the moment. Feels like something you’d expect to see on a poster/trailer that is carrying the advertising to the general public on its shoulders.
Also, all I could think about while watching this was those two brother who got into a fight about whether Glinda is a witch or a princess đ

Thanks to that long-ass trailer, I’ve basically already watched the movie and therefore can save my money.
But seriously, visually it looks beautiful. I think Ariana is really going to hit this out of the park.

This looks fantastic, Iâm so excited. This also erased any fear I had of Ariana. My biggest being sheâd play too far into the ditzy side of G(a)Lina, which Iâm so happy that she doesnât. So Iâm thankful that this trailer erased that.
Popular looks like a lot of fun. And Iâm happy they arenât hiding that itâs a musical.
The sets (which are practical) look fantastic and I canât wait to see them on the big screen.
I wish they didnât show the entire basic plot in the trailer though.

I canât lie, visually it somehow looks both colorful and washed out/muted simultaneously. Iâll wait to pass final judgment until I see it on the big screen

im not a big theatre girlie so i am only vaguely aware of the plot, kinda sold on the friendship chemistry alone. Looks like a good role for Ari, I can see the Cat Valentine DNA in there but yknow fun and more Mature. Excited for both Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum too.

Im honestly surprised how much Ariana changed her voice for the character, I love it. Definitely see
how much she is emulating Chenowith.
I think the movie looks amazing so far.
Though are they taking scenes out of Dancing Through Life? Because the hat scene is supposed to be a part of it.

them not promoting this as Part 1 is pretty dumb
Cinemascore voters don’t like that

I hit play but there was a mad max trailer right underneath this post, so I watched Wicked with Mad Max audio. It worked somehow đ€Ł

Wow, Iâm so excited to see this! Ngl I definitely teared up a bit watching. Any misgivings I had about this have been washed away.
I figured theyâd divide the two movies up in the same way the musical did, and end part one with defying gravity, with part two picking up from there.

That was… the entire movie. The whole thing.
