Get this: The costume designer said that Glinda's bubble dress was the most difficult in the entire movie to make, yet there are cosplayers on RUclips replicating it perfectly! Just goes to show: never underestimate the ambition of a superfan with a budget and a lot of patience!
I discovered the other day after taking a look at the land in the UK that they filmed _Wicked_ at on Google Earth, there's one particular angle you can find that actually shows an under-construction Munchkinland. What's insane is they actually left the _Wicked_ sets abandoned for two months during the strikes and they only returned to dismantle them. Wouldn't that have been wild to take photos at?
When they first announced her as Elphaba was the first time I'd seen her or even heard of her. I thought she looked too old for the role tbh, as I was remembering ppl saying Idina & Kristin were took old to do it for a movie some years prior. She looked plenty young enough for the part in the movie though.
@@donnasilvio3974 I agree, even seeing the press -she’s lovely, but I can tell that she’s a mature woman….seeing her look so much younger in the film really was a surprise
**looks dramaticly holding eatchothers hands with tears threatinging to fall** i...your so right **in wiched interview fashion they look at eachother romanticly** ( in wiched interview fashion)
My participation in a high school musical production caused a dramatic weight loss to my person. My mom oft recalls having had to alter my costume 3 times before opening night. These women seemed to have put much heart and soul into playing these characters. A great actor often channels the character. Problem is they rely on the audience perception and reaction to measure their worth. Must admit the price of worldly adoration is quite high and sometimes an impossible reach.
As for Cynthia and Ariana's appearance, filming wrapped months ago on _Wicked._ Granted, the press tour was grueling, but their bodies should have bounced back unless they're maintaining themselves that way.
I think it was irresponsible for the doctor to comment on their bodies without knowing anything about their true health and making assumptions based off what they see. Sadly, I expect the general public to talk loudly about things they don’t truly know, but the professionals should know better.
Cynthia has openly discussed two things: she is vegan and she ran a marathon immediately after filming Wicked (so had to train during filming). She looks like any other marathon runner would look. She is an experienced runner who knows her body, her diet and how best to train. She ran a personal best! Doc didn’t need to comment other than to say they both had a lot going on and were monitored as all actors are on movie sets (because insurance requires it).
Girl i watched the bts vid the prosthetic of the ear is to make her earrings not hurt because she has so many ear piercings and she never said she was hurt
@@megal7500 Judy Garland who played Dorthey Gale was forced to starve herself so she could keep a "demure" figure, had to alter her face as well. SA'd by some of the actors playing Munchkins as they tried to reach up her dress. Judy was only 17 at the time. Margret Hamilton who played the original Wicked Witch of the West had an allergic reaction to the green dye and was injured in the filming of a few scenes. The actor playing the Tin Man was also allergic to the makeup and actually almost died. The actor playing the lion had a costume made of REAL lion skin which weighed over 80 pounds and he was always overheating. The dog who played Toto got her paw broken. The snow in the poppy field scene was actually asbestos, a carcinogen. There's LOTS of You Tube videos about it and I've just barely scratched the surface.
Cynthia looks much healthier than Ariana and I don't eat meat I'm a pescatarian I don't look like skin and bone and I eat plenty of protein. I eat a lot of plant-based protein a lot of eggs. I'm very healthy I'm 33 years old and I have a 2 year old daughter and I only weigh 110 lb and I'm 5 ft 2 but I don't look like skin and bone like Ariana looks like she's going to disintegrate
I've never met a vegan with protein deficiency .... All my vegan friends ate athletes and muscular. So was more likely stress and emotional trauma that caused them to lose weight 😢
That's because vegans who have protein deficiency stop being vegans. When you are passing out all the time because you can't absorb non haem iron, and your hair falls out because you struggle to absorb plant based protein, then you start eating meat again. That's how it works. Of course, then you have to deal with self righteous vegans saying " BuT you DiDn'T dO It RiGhT". No, bitch, I have a serious gastro intestinal condition. There are dozens of health conditions that make being vegan extremely difficult and expensive or outright impossible. Honestly I'm sick of the ableism and racism that comes from the vegan community.
Oh yes, please have the 'doctor' talk about nutrition as though he has any any idea of what he's talking about, it sounds like he has never met a vegan in his life and has literally no clue and is just speculating. What a joke.
Pain? That was her choice, they clearly said that they gave her the choice, she chose to go for the painting instead of the CGI, she already victimized herself too much with the photo shop of the movie poster, so don’t even make it more dramatic!

Or never tell people that is a piece of cake, let them think you created a miracle.
Finally somebody talking about the costumes, I wish they had a museum with the costumes and the munchkin city they built

omg imagine a Wicked museum tour after part 2
There is a museum!!
😊
1:58 i love just how she’s on her phone while getting painted green
I will say that having hair really made Cynthia look a lot younger
lol that's kinda funny 😊
And the freckles

E for Elphaba AND Erivo & G for Glinda AND Grande, now that's cosmically deep!

@@IconicBlinkk😂😂😂😂
I thought her name was Cynthia? x
@@lifewmiaa0Erivo and Grande are their last names.
@@lifewmiaa0They are addressing to the actors last name, since she's Cynthia Erivo
Can’t wait til wicked 2 is out💚🩷
Wait they are going to make a second one. 😆😆😆😆
@@GuineaPigGirl-111 Part 2, so yes.
What makes me so impatient is the second film's already wrapped and likely close to finished already.
I’m so exited
Release Nov 25th 2025.

Thank you for sharing this💖

The budget for wicked was nonexistent 😭💝
And us fans are thankful for that!
@@xx-jn3nxrealll the movie was so good🩷💚
The costumes and hair was amazing. I loved Glenda's dress in the first scenes.
I love how they took elements from wicked and oz
The 1939 film, you mean?

The wizard has no powers😂
9:39 has anyone’s noticed that it says Chynthia is Glinda and Arianna is Elphaba
Cynthia's smirk she had all the way until the train popped up reminds me of a RUclipsr...
The toxic gossip train
twin flames or soulmates?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I did think ariana looks a bit too skinny, but as long as she is healthy, that's ok.
Are they TRYING to emulate what happened behind the scenes of the original Wizard of Oz?
what happened?

ARINA GRANDE?!!
In the play the tin man died from the matalic powder

Dude what is your problem
Im 5 foot too (lol🐰 my joke is so funny)
I mean, they said vegan diet, but yeah, a vegan diet is really easy to manage🌱
Well and all of this and it still doesn’t even compare to the wizard of oz
I've never met a vegan with protein deficiency .... All my vegan friends ate athletes and muscular. So was more likely stress and emotional trauma that caused them to lose weight 😢
Your personal experience is irrelevant and the facts that a large number of Vegans suffer serious nutritional deficiency including protein deficiency.
One of my best friends has been a vegan for DECADES. He's a body builder and built like a tank.

Yeah
@@matt38191that’s why u have to be on top of thing if ur vegan but its really not that difficult
coool
Looks like Shrek.
Edit: I guess that's not the costume.

Also if they don’t win the Oscars, it’s rigged
REAL

Why have tattoo your body for a movie! It is a life journey not like putting your kids names on your body!.. i find it Hollywood stupidity!
Ariana didn't have to go through any of the pain that Cynthia did and Cynthia is the highlight of the whole show
Pain? 😂
poetic 😳
Pain? That was her choice, they clearly said that they gave her the choice, she chose to go for the painting instead of the CGI, she already victimized herself too much with the photo shop of the movie poster, so don’t even make it more dramatic!
Isn’t wicked beautiful? 😊
Yes💖
