Everything Before Watching Wicked (Wizard Of Oz) 

😂😂 I stand corrected!

?

Recite? Just recite... That's not enough for some of us...

What kind of powerful musical theatre gay spell allows reciting of a brand new song never heard before?!😳

And Arianators

Hollywood’s always gonna put their own spin on things but I’m sure they’ll stick to the source material

For real.

100% I would rather watch a filmed version of the Broadway musical than this film

That cast is in their 50's be fr

The way they shot the Hamilton musical is what I want for Wicked

They’ll still have many of the original songs in part 1 but it’ll also include like 3-4 new songs

I’d love to hear an updated adaption of I’m not that Girl. Idk it’s very unmentioned but I like it.

If I'm not mistaken Defying Gravity was in the trailer

Yes! The battle cry from Defying Gravity was at the end of the trailer. I don’t love this but in recent years they tend to add at least one “new” song to the film adaptations for Oscar consideration.

😂😂 Those are my favorites too and I know Ari doing some music if not her own album like B did with the Lion King

Also Elphaba is her name, Wicked Witch of the West is a title

Cause Glinda with a Gl goes “gl” not “ga”

I don’t think they have, the reference went right over their head.

@user-ys8ur2fh1i I have… I am referencing another show called Liza with a Z

@user-ys8ur2fh1iYou missed the reference.

Heck out zeeloo they have a pair that looks similar

Right? I'm a little obsessed with them. But I JUST got new glasses last week and can't afford another pair. ☺️

There also some on shein

Exactly, I don't even wear glasses but I'm currently looking for these on Amazon right now

LMAO that’s SOME commitment!

@@cinespidey i’m a passionate woman!!

I can tell 😭😭

NO GOOD DEED IS THW BEST SONG FROM THE MUSICAL

@@Coopsartsandmore. LIIIITWRALLY omg

Maybe 😈

If they are going to go cut something They should cut “something bad” or “sentimental man”

Fr they took away Damians songs, justice for damian 😭. ALSO THE BOY WHO PLAYS CADY’S LOVE INTREST WAS SUPPOSED TO SING BUT THEY CASTED HIM EVEN THO HE COULDNT SING AND JUST GAVE HIM A SPEAKING ROLE. I can’t forgive them for that 😭

@@Hjj-tp6dgthey fr cut most of meet the plastics which just made me sad

Jon M. Chu stated they didn't cut any song

@@andresmaldonado8935NOOO I love something bad 😭😭

I hope that you’re not in the United States because the rights for wicked aren’t even out yet which could subject a school to hundreds of thousands of dollars and fines. The rights are available outside of the US though for schools and community theaters.

Oop that’s illegal

@@cherry_preppy maybe. Unless they are in another country. The United States is the only country where wicked the musical does not allow amateur theaters to publish the right yet

Wellll Get the shot glasses out

Well Ariana is gon be there soooo I don’t think it’s bad

same 😅

@@Id939c it can fail at everything but at least we know we have competent vocalists present unlike in the means girl musical adaptation (this is more specifically about Cady’s actress then anyone in the cast, but seriously how is the lead the weakest vocalist in the entire production?)

It looks ass ngl, the casting is just bizarre and the set design and CGI are just like. Man. Im dreading this

I’m Gonna put some dirt in your eye 🤨🕷️

@@cinespidey 😂😅

Exactly. I only need to hear the chorus once and I'm joining in

Yes

Yes! They are 🔥

LMAO ‘idiot sandwich!’

I mean, he's probably just gonna play the same character he always plays.. himself.

this is all i thought during the preview

i mean. so did the original.

@@ActuallyHoudini the original was made over 85 years ago…

@@kb523 Yes, what's the problem with that? Everything else looks era-appropriate, why not the make-up as well? I think the limited use of make-up for her adds a level of charm that was also found in the older film.

@@ActuallyHoudini wrong. With how far make up, prosthetics and the overall budget of films have changed, so should the standards. Just because they were happy painting Elphaba green all those years ago doesn’t give them a pass to be sloppy just so you can call it charm.

ok?

Then stay the fuck home

“We need to make more money, I mean uh, we’re gonna pull from the book? I wiped my butt with a copy of the book once during a shareholder meeting, that’s the same as reading it, right?”

Dune just released their part 2, let’s see if it works for them

RIGHT?? I hate waiting for part 2 of things, so now I can’t watch part 1 until part 2 is released

Omg you're soo jealous

@@HarlowstanninAnd you’re thirsty

why is that? voice? looks? I’m not too familiar with this play

@@BrothaJ365 Glinda in the play is supposed to be a typical preppy chick. A borderline valley girl type, but still with a good heart as her friendship with Elphiba develops. Personally I’m skeptical, but who knows? Maybe she can pull it off. I’ve never seen Grande acting, so maybe she’ll nail it. At the same time, the way Hollywood casts musical movies nowadays, it definitely comes across as doing it for the name. Like James Corden and Rebel Wilson in Cats or a good chunk of Mama Mia’s cast

"you're jealous" lol, people can have their own opinions and preferences... these toxic fans are just disgusting.🤮

There’ll only be two new songs, and that’s only in the second movie, not the first

@@andrewmorgadoo4480 I’m not sure where you are getting your information. They have released the soundtrack list for the 1st film. None of them are new- so…..?

Yes they came out and said they are adding about 3/4 new songs and some of the original songs won’t be in the first movie but it’ll be in the second

It’s 2 parts because they wanted to include more from the book, so they’ll have more time so they prob won’t cut much out.

@@joshuacoldwaterwhere can I find this soundtrack 👹

Uffff, I have mixed thoughts about that…imagine if they decide to make the second part. People will rage and think they’re retconning a “beloved classic”. I mean, not everyone is into Broadway and very few people know the novels ( in my opinion).

@@andreabanuelosavila2317 they filmed both parts at the same time. Filming is done. This teaser is for both parts. Basically telling us fans that the movie is finally coming this year.

it's not even a prequel since Wicked is based on Maguire's work which is a reimagined ver of the Baum story

It's also not considered canon

@@ShadowRaider91 exactly! people saying it's a prequel for TWoZ don't even know the books are by different authors

She is gonna do so good in this!!

Alexia Khadim,, Kerry Ellis and Rachel Tucker are my top 3 favorites in west end. Cynthia is a great singer when she participated in Shoshana bean's virtual concert

Me too 😂

I saw the theater production and I have no interest in the live action film.

True like I know some people are like well it isn’t all her fault like I KNOW BUT STILL

It’s all many of us will see. I’ll wait for the video 😂

​@@immymclean133not her fault, but she had the most influence, and therefore had the most responsibility.

fr

ure weird

Well there was a bit of controversy so people didn't want to support the movie

I really love Ervio but she is almost 40 and does absolutely not look like a young college student which is what Elphaba is supposed to be. I’m really excited to heear her singing though!

And flop

Theres a big thing in hollywood of casting Africans to play Black American historical figures and its really dum

@@heresheliess would you rather have willemijn verkaik in the movie? She does have the look like Margaret Hamilton TBH

Lmfao

That shouldn’t affect how you view the movie

@@cinespidey agreed

Ha...ha...ha........ha Good one.

Um…ok? I mean one of them is still black so-

nobody cares.

womp womp

The doors right there you can leave

LMAO

I love Africana Wakande 😍😍

africana gumbandé lewks saurr good🥰

Wait, I thought she was Asian

Ariana Grande is white.

The Irony is strong with this one

Gosh it's so funny that you're STUPIDLY tryin to dodge the truth that it's all just fake accusations and it was confirmed that they were like that

surely she wasn’t a homewrecker when she was casted

Fake girl Ur delusional​@@Aiden25412

Page six backtracking their claims and admitting they lied and Lilly saying that Ariana wasn't the reason of her splitting with her husband. Before trying to bring people down at least learn IF what you're saying is correct or not

It just looks bad also. I’d rather see the musical on broadway 😂

who asked 😜💁🏽‍♀️

Preach 😂

I definitely agree with you I would rather see the live broadway . They could have simply casted Sydney Sweeney as Galinda . She fits the preppy stereo type but would be a stronger acting presence for the good witch

@@ivyyy201this comment? Ew thank you NEXT! Ya know just like she said her dead boyfriend 😂😂

she was already cast 2 years ago

@@yoongistwin i know

Imagine caring so much about a celebrity's life😂😂😂

Same. I won't watch it for that reason.

She made it better tf you talking about? 💀

ariana is an actor? she literally started off her career as an actor first then became a singer. and shes been doing broadway since she was 8 years old. shes the perfect casting.

@@aadya.kumarr yeah I know she’s an actress i grew up watching her on Nickelodeon, what I meant which I thought was obvious was that Ariana is a terrible person i wish they didn’t cast her

@@GraceOfDiamondswhat makes her terrible person? You’re not an actually sheep and believe the tabloids right? You clearly can’t think for yourself based off your original comment.

@@GraceOfDiamondsarianas a terrible person and you dont even know her...

@@annabruhdo you know her personally then?

I’m EXCITED!

You’d be surprised…there’s many people who dream for these type of movies. I’m not big on adaptations either but you never know this one may do really well

Yes, they should stop funding and creating movies that are adaptations or based on fan fiction, bc of how you feel about them and bc you wish so 💀

Yeah I think that’s the major plus of this being split into two parts! They’ll have ALOT of story to tell

You’re very welcome 🙏🏽

Oop, guess I'm nobody--

Is it? Am I the only one who remembers what Glinda’s role in the Wicked musical is? Glinda is a selfish, self absorbed, jealous character. She hates Elphie just for being different and only befriended her after she realized Elphie had something she wanted…natural magical ability. Something she could help Glinda with. Their friendship is completely self serving for Glinda. Glinda is only called the good witch in comparison to the “wicked witch” which was all a smear campaign by the Wizard of Oz. It’s irony. Elphie is the actual good witch, the one concerned about the animals in Oz, the one concerned with doing the right thing. Glinda is the actual wicked witch, only concerned with herself and her ambition, forsaking even her “best friend” to gain the notoriety and fame. Ariana is perfectly suited to play a self absorbed, selfish character who only cares about herself and has no concern for doing what’s right, in my opinion.

*Iconically bad at acting*

@@weebleflufflycakes7238 wait, what movie she been in before ?

@@osmazn5125 what a terrible spin on the old classic

@@osmazn5125ur so stupid

None

You’re welcome!

lol you’re uneducated Ariana has literally done Broadway since she was a child she was in the original casting of the 13 musical she was trained to become a Broadway star before she did pop music she’s more Broadway than pop that’s her heart and soul she has tons and tons of musical theatre background she’s one of the most versatile vocalists on the planet and can change her technique in an instant she’s also one of the greatest people at imitation so she will be able to do Kristen’s inflections perfectly paying homage to her whilst still making glinda hers she’s wanted to do this for over a decade it’s been her life long dream role she’s studied every single aspect of the wizard of oz and wicked and read every single book you just hear Ariana and think popstar without doing any research whatsoever on top of that Kristen Chenoweth has known her since she was 10 years old and has given her seal of approval from THE Kristen herself…

You know Ariana Grande started on Broadway right?

don’t think they’re trying to target the broadway audience. Gotta appeal to the masses

​@@benevans8733I don't think they do

@@benevans8733truth

they’re like in their 50s, I doubt they want to come back.

I wish this was more inline with the broadway play.

I think they are a bit too old for their original roles now. However, maybe they can show up as cameos.

@@KL-ki8db they can still be Glinda and Elphaba in the Wizard of Oz they are old enough for that

@@lukepevensie They are both in their mid fifties and Indina Mendel has already injured her voice before from doing Wicked already. I won’t understand why you think it is appropriate to cast middle aged women as young adults especially when one had been straining her voice doing the role for so long that is unless you are trying to suggest that they play the older versions of the characters. However, that wouldn’t make much sense since oldest we see the characters are right after Dorothy leaves OZ aka not that much.

Was hyped for trailer... I'd rather watch Cats in theaters again from that trailer...

Oh no not CATS 😳

everything surrounding her has been confirmed to be fake news so don’t worry. you can watch the movie peacefully

Grow up.🙄

@@alyseh9539 I'm really happy for you :)

SAME!

I agree!

Wicked released like 10 years before oz the great and powerful

It is not only a Prequel. Yeah Part of is a prequel but Part of it happens at the same time

I will forever think of OZ the great and powerful as the One True prequel 🙌

it's because this video is wrong. Wicked is a musical adaptation of a book. The book is a reimagining, a retelling, an alternative universe version of The Wizard of Oz. We see the story of Elphaba and Galinda who become the wicked witch and Glinda.

Theyre just jealous

​@@Taylor1989killsmewith that username and that take, we can tell you're 12 years old

@@TryPuttingItInRice even 12 years olds has better brain than yours....

but the trailer just came out

Yeah guys. Everyone with an opinion is jealous. Remember that okay!? 😂

K bye 👋🏽

Then why the hell you here

Not able to separate the artist from the talent huh well that’s your problem don’t watch it then Ariana couldn’t care less

please do ur research❤

@@leomessenger2559 so why do you care so much to talk for her?

@@uluvaron I did, it's my choice to not appreciate her, thanks.

Omg youre tooo jealous abt successful ppl 😭😭😭

Did you read the book? Lol

@@mwabell Don't insult my intelligence

Page six backtracking their claims and admitting they lied and Lilly saying that Ariana wasn't the reason of her splitting with her husband. Before trying to bring people down at least learn IF what you're saying is correct or not. NEEEEXT

the homewrecking rumors were dubunked. educate urself

she’s not a homewrecker

😂😂😂

Ooofff stop being jealous

she was announced to be glinda 2 years ago and recent news about her has been confirmed to be fake so dw

@@Harlowstannin She had an affair with a married man with a newborn child. Knowingly. Then wrote a song called ‘yes, and?’. It’s called being appalled at both people involved 😭.

@@succulentgarden2975 “yes, and?” is a nice lil bop but I was like is that what you really wanna say after all that mess?!

@@BrothaJ365 I do agree it’s catchy and all. It was just INSANE to only have that to say after what transpired 💀.

There’s an entire book that the musical was based off of, so I’m sure they have some more material to work with. The musical is already almost 3 hours, so I’m sure they split it up to have a more satisfying two movies as opposed to a single rushed/longer movie. I’d prefer that at least, more to look forward to. Act 1 of the musical has a very distinct note to end on as well, pun intended.

@@crystal_dlight_ Three hours can easily be condensed to two and a half by talented filmmakers. I’m also gonna guess most of the crew have never read the book. Hollywood artists don’t usually care about source material over money, so I’m sticking with my view on this. Not to mention this is supposedly an adaptation of the musical first, so the book wouldn’t be as big a factor

@@robertlauncher I’m going to assume you haven’t read the book or have seen the musical. If you did I’m sure you’d understand much more as to why. The producers have said it’s to please the fans and not cut anything. If anything it sounds like they are adding stuff from the book that wasn’t in the musical. (Ex silver slippers instead of ruby). If you’re so unhappy with it just don’t see it 😂 But obviously you care enough to complain about it.

@@robertlauncher Also, there is just such a distinct halfway point. Musically and timeline wise.

@@crystal_dlight_ Aww cute. You’re crying over an internet opinion. Maybe someday you’ll grow past that. Of course, the problem with the “Don’t watch it” crowd is that then no one is allowed to criticize because they “Didn’t watch it.” You’re really just defending your multi million dollar corporations making multi million dollar movies regardless of their decisions. Someday you’ll realize they don’t love you back

I can tell pessimism breeds on the internet
