100% disagree. Should have been a quick cameo like Schwartz or Holzman, their extended cameo, references to their previous portrayal of the characters, and meeting and literal caressing of Ariana and Cynthia took me completely out of the movie. My suspension of disbelief completely shattered in that scene, which is really sad, because I love the stage version of One Short Day. There is not a single world in which Idina should have done the Defying Gravity climax.
@@frederalbaconand I disagree on the extended. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the movie, I guess for my personal lack of enthusiasm towards both Grande and Erivo.
@@fureyizeyeah it’s just you sorry bud like literally atleast 99.5% people who disagree with you not being rude it’s just this movie is such a huge step up!
I liked that they briefly showed Dorothy, alongside the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Toto, walking along a yellow brick road. This is contrary to the stage show, where she's entirely off stage, and from what I remember, not mentioned by name.
There's ALOT of direct references to the wizard of Oz in the movie. They could not directly use Dorthy, the red shoes and apparently ALOT of references in the original stage production because shortly before opening lawyers from MGM tore the script&set production apart due to copyright laws.
@@karaygeousheartswas there an actual reason why he wasn’t affected? I thought it was because he shared her beliefs in the moment about caring for the animals and since her powers are based on her feelings it didn’t affect him but was there more? I know he becomes the scarecrow but his future curse shouldn’t have affected this right?
I had to stifle a screech when I saw Idina and Kristin's cameo. Everything about this movie was perfect. They made it with such love and care and respect for the musical.
India and Kristens cameos was my favorite. When kristen covered aris mouth when she was trying to sing was my favorite part of the song i was was bursting out laughing. But defying gravity and popular are still a top faves.
'Wicked' has always been asking to be adapted as a film. I saw it yesterday, and the magic of CGI/Practical really brought the world of 'Wicked' (and Oz) to life.
I like how the extra bits in 'One short day' with Idena and Kristen that when you listen to it first, you do think the prophecy is talking about Oz but once you see what happens afterwards and then listen afterwards you then know who it's really talking about and also showing their future as well
Dude that scene with Dorothy, the Scarecrow, Tinman, and Cowardly Lion on the yellow brick row I just start balling my eyes out. I have so many memories of this movie as a kid its just really emotional and I know I'm not alone crying over the nostalgia!!
They left out the green glasses in One Short Day... which the Wizard makes everyone wear in the book... fundamental in showing the power of blind devotion to the Wizard and the illusion of the Emerald City 👓 💚💚
Not a fan of Ariana, but love Cynthia. Hadn't seen many previews, so I went in expecting to say "it was okay". I was SOOO wrong. This movie is breathtaking and beautiful💚
Glad to hear they expanded the Animal rights angle for the movie. When I finally saw the musical, I was disappointed that they just seemed to pick up and drop the story thread when they felt like it.
Last night I enjoyed a visually stunning and spectacular experience and I am ready to go again! OMG!!! BEST movie I have seen in a long time. Cynthia is a powerhouse performer and she OWNS this role! Her voice is incredible and her emotional depth make her character both sympathetic and fierce. I get the feeling Ariana is playing herself but there is no denying her own impressive vocal range that harmonizes with Cynthia's so beautifully and she was very suited to the role of Galinda. I loved all the references to the Wizard of Oz 1939 movie, which is one of my favourite movies. Admittedly I've learned so much from watching these RUclips reviews, otherwise I would have missed a lot! That's why I need to see it again! The sets are magical, lush and expansive, the costumes were gorgeous, the choreography, the songs all brilliant - Defying Gravity gave me chills and made me cry it is SOOOOOOOOOOO extraordinary! Those words: "Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly! And if I'm flying solo At least I'm flying free." Loved, loved, loved it and cannot wait for Part 2!!!
The movie was incredible!!! Seen the show 5 times on Broadway. From the minute that downbeat of the Overture hit to the end, I was bawling, So awesome in the way they expanded a lot of things plus taking bits from the book. Loved hearing all the Wizard of Oz easter eggs. They did it so well!!! There was applause after every song. Now I cannot wait to get my ticket to see the film again, going for ROUND 6 to see it again on Broadway!!! Kristin and Idina's cameo...... goosebumps!!! The Poppy spell on the classroom was really cool. So different vs. what people know from the stage version. In the stage show, "Elphaba" casts a full spell that causes all the students and everyone in the classroom to have Seizures in saving the Lion Cub's life.
I was thinking the same thing! He has his whole line of, "He saw green and thought it meant go". I was kinda bummed that line was cut from the movie b/c they met in a different way.
I kind of like that the movie establishes that he's less judgemental of Elphaba from the outset. He's more or less instantly drawn to her, even if he goes after Galinda -- and he only does that because she makes the first move.
Has anyone mentioned that they totally did away with the Clock of the Time Dragon? It was a weird element in the book and the big backdrop for the stage musical. I never really fully understood it and I was glad that they skipped it for the movie.
5:13 No, in the show Fiyero and Elphaba meet when he almost runs over her with his carriage. He makes a joke about how the driver saw green and thought it meant ‘go’. Been that way since the mid-late 2000s.
Well the play is 2 hours and 45 minutes long and part one of the movie is 2 hours and 40 minutes long so there was bound to be a lot more things added in.
Ms Coddle might not be in the book, but every women who attends Shizz is required to have a "nanny". So I saw Ms Coddle as a reference to that since the play removed that entire aspect of the school rules.
Actually, #6 is in the stage musical...sort of. It wasn't in the script when the show opened on Broadway, but that meet-cute scene was added to the stage version in 2006 when the West End version opened. The circumstance was a little different, and the way Fiyero ribs Elphaba about her skin color is a different joke ("Maybe he saw green and thought it meant 'go'.") Nonetheless, the meet-cute before the Ozdust scene is in the stage version.
I won’t lie, I loved this movie. But there is a change I didn’t agree with: Boq’s last name. In both the book and musical, it is a tragic surprise who Boq becomes, that builds up over the course of the story. And considering Boq was originally a separate character in the original Baum books, it works as a surprise. Honestly if they had just gave Fiyerio and Boq more scenes showing their friendship, it would actually lined up better for Part 2.
Tbf, unless you've watched the musical I think it would've flown over most people's heads. I watched the musical and even I didn't catch that foreshadowing until I saw this video.
I did not see this info below in the comments, and you didn't include it in the video: Stephen Schwartz, who wrote the songs for the original Broadway show, and additional for this film, was the guard in OZ who said: "The Wizard will see you now!"
Not true about Fierro not meeting Elphaba till the ball. He bumps into her and makes a joke about it in the school courtyard when he arrives in the musical
I LOVED how they did Dancing Through Life! I loved everything about it except for ... oh dear ... the end of Defying Gravity. I didn't get the 'bang' with her so softly saying the "nobody in all of Oz", she just sounds so forbidding. But I just LOVED the full dance numbers. Another detail that I don't know how many people notice but it has been YEARS since the title 'unrolls' across the screen at the beginning of the show - as with the "To Be Continued" at the end. It was really the norm for so many years with the musicals so it was a nice touch.
It would have been cool if you had done the video of 10 ways Wicked the movie is different from Wicked the musical and the novel which John M Chu pulled from both of the sources to make this phenomenal film.... I really hope that Part 2 really has some dark themes like the novel but keeps the Broadway essence.
I hope they plan to go the extra mile and cover the rest of the story. ** Prequel The real story of the Wizard arriving in Oz-something more authentic than that 2013 film. - When sentient animals still roamed in abundance, as mentioned in Wicked. - Explore the drought that Elphaba referenced. - Include hints or even an actual encounter with the Nome King as he harvests emeralds for his city. ** Dorothy - A remake of her tale with added perspective from what we now know through Wicked. ** Witch of the East With the limited portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the East in the original film, there’s plenty of room for writers to expand on the events leading up to and following the tornado. A whole new conversation may take place here. Or even the event may differ - Were they all already in Munchkinland, engaged in some kind of argument or conflict before the tornado struck? Or did Elphaba arrive after the incident, drawn by the news of what happened to her sister? as depicted in the old film. - Imagine the moment when Elphaba sees a young girl wearing the slippers-her sister’s only tangible legacy. Stricken with a mix of anger and guilt, she demands the slippers back, insisting they’re useless to Dorothy and that only she knows how to wield their power. Yet, beneath her fury lies a deep, sentimental attachment to the slippers, tied to her grief over Nessarose’s loss. However, with no real understanding of the larger situation and given her young age, Dorothy would understandably be terrified. She might misinterpret Elphaba’s intentions, seeing her as more threatening than she truly is. ** Return to Oz (Sequel) The invasion of the Nome King. With the Wizard overthrown, the Nome King reclaims the emeralds stolen from his land. Is the Wizard still in Oz, perhaps in exile? Will Dorothy, now older and more mature, get the chance to meet the real Elphaba? What of the Scarecrow? Is he still turned to stone, or did he leave to stay with Elphaba after the fall of the Emerald City? 🙇🏻♂
Not knowing anything about Wicked besides the broad strokes, I'm curious how people felt about Ariana's take. I loved how Galinda came off as someone so utterly blindly naive, born with so many gifts and yet jealous of the one she doesn't have. She never feels malicious or truly mean, however, more like a person who means well but has never had to actually *think* about what might be the right thing when it isn't spelled out for her. Is that consistent with the character?
@MsMojo You should do: Top 5 Underrated Animated Disney Channel Couples - 5 - Leo & June (Little Einsteins) 4 - Dipper & Wendy (Gravity Falls) 3 - Star Butterfly & Marco Diaz (SVTFOE) 2 - Kim Possible & Ron Stoppable (Kim Possible) 1 - Phineas & Isabella (Phineas & Ferb)
On stage, the Defying Gravity scene takes place directly in the Emerald City. The actor undergoes wireshooting training in order to set up the wires necessary for flight. In the movie, it takes place on the planet’s moon, using real broom flight capabilities
this video is so full of half truths. the stage musical does show Elphaba meeting Fiyero in the exact same way except its a cart not a horse. they certainly meet well before the oz dust
Loved the play. You can NOT replace Idina and Kristen. Loved the movie. Cynthia and Ariana did an amazing job. Most of the things mentioned in this "Top 10 Ways The Movie differs from the Musical" aren't accurate. The movie did an amazing job filling things that can't be done on stage. However all of the story line concepts in the movie were definately present in the stage play. I've seen the play half a dozen times in several parts of the country with several different actors. I've seen the movie several times now, and absolutely love them both. But, Idina and Kristen made these parts what they are. Can't wait for part 2
I really didn't enjoy this movie at all. Everyone seems to love it, but I suffered watching it, no joke. It was so freaking long. I didn't buy the friendship between the two women. I don't know. I don't know why I didn't enjoy this movie at all while most seem to think it was an amazing movie. I just really, really didn't enjoy it.
I am totally psyched to see this movie. I loved the musical. And I absolutely HATED The Wizard of Oz, because of the ending. I had to remind myself that Wicked is referencing the original Wizard of Oz books, NOT the movie. In the book, Oz was real. In the Judy Garland movie, it was all a dream/something she imagined in while knocked out from the tornado. Wicked the musical/this movie doesn't make sense in the context of the Judy Garland movie, so you really have to forget it exists.
it's never confirmed it was just a dream. it's left like that because how else is dorothy supposed to explain any of that? easy, make her think it was a dream. we dont know how time works between kansas and Oz so maybe the shoes brought her but only an hour or so had passed in kansas. You're assuming it was a dream, but it's definitely not a fact. could be true, might not be true.
The political salience of the narrative is so heartbreaking. I cried in the theatre thinking of the people that the country I live in is helping to murder en masse in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran… and anyone who speaks up against this can lose their jobs, is painted as an antisemite (even when they are Jewish)… it’s so depressing that this is the world we live in. I saw someone on instagram relating elphaba to Kamala Harris and even Jon Chu said something like that in an interview and I was so disgusted. This is the same woman who said “I’m speaking” over Palestinian activists and then made it a branded catch-phrase. Americans need to wake up and realize that BOTH parties are “the wizard.”
Dont worry there is a cease fire that will stop all those poor innocent Palestinians from being attacked..... Oh wait there a a cease fire on Oct 6th of last year too and something happened? What was it again?
I'll be honest, never seen the musical. Didn't know it existed. So watching this movie, I knew there were going to be some things that they would try to link to that I would not completely know. Having said that, this movie leaves a lot to be desired. Actors did well with the script but the plot gutted the movie and the sequences from one scene to another were very rigid and some which made no sense at all. Why is there a wizard school? What does it matter who elphaba and her sister are? Why is there a prince who came to school for about 2-3 days? Did they even make it clear that there are other countries in the land surrounding Oz? Why, in a world of talking animals, munchkins (who weren't small), bizarre looking people of all shapes and sizes and a GREEN EMERALD city, would anybody be shocked that someone has a green skin when magic is a key element to this world? It would have been better to have Elphaba be known for a great unexplained calamity in her childhood which would be a catalyst as to why people feared her.
I am like the shortest distance between 2 points. I have to say I can’t get enough of Bowen since I saw him on the show with Akwafina I laughed so hard he’s truly hilarious.
I like the added scenes with Elphaba and Galinda actually rooming together, as well as the added bickering in What is this Feeling
Ever see the play?
Yes I was getting Wednesday vibes from these scenes
@@neilskywalker783you won’t believe what i’m about to tell you

hey nice profile picture, I played mal in that production
And the closest we actually come to seeing Dorothy is in a silhouette of her pouring water on the elphaba
I think Dorothy will appear in the 2nd movie, and will have a song. Schwarz did mention that there's 2 new songs in Part Two
There's ALOT of direct references to the wizard of Oz in the movie. They could not directly use Dorthy, the red shoes and apparently ALOT of references in the original stage production because shortly before opening lawyers from MGM tore the script&set production apart due to copyright laws.
@ though the original wizard of Oz book used silver shoes
7:30. That tiny cute “yea” baby Nessa chirps. 😂 I find that hilarious for some reason.
When Elphaba & Fiyero meet for the first time, Elphie tells him to “get stuffed” as she walks away IYKYK
Fiyero is also the only person not impacted by the poppies, just like a certain character in The Wizard of Oz.

Well considering the movie (2:40 hours) is the equivalent of the first act of the stage version, I'd be surprised if it didn't.
The director did in the heights!! He needs to be doing all movie musicals
@@elise6970 He also did Step Up 2 and 3, and Crazy Rich Asians. Dude is destined for this movie.
Literally when Idina did the defying gravity note I died, it was funny and beautiful at the same time
I like how Elphaba was uncomfortable as she was walking through the palace, and Glinda felt at home, almost behaving like a princess.
I had to stifle a screech when I saw Idina and Kristin's cameo. Everything about this movie was perfect. They made it with such love and care and respect for the musical.
Agreed! And I would add with such love and care and respect for the Judy Garland movie - all those lovely "Easter eggs!"
India and Kristens cameos was my favorite. When kristen covered aris mouth when she was trying to sing was my favorite part of the song i was was bursting out laughing. But defying gravity and popular are still a top faves.
What could possibly be a more character-appropriate reaction to having someone steal your spotlight.
'Wicked' has always been asking to be adapted as a film. I saw it yesterday, and the magic of CGI/Practical really brought the world of 'Wicked' (and Oz) to life.
7:00 I like that it reflects Fiyero's respect for animals.

Okay, but

I like how movies can do what's limited on stage , like magic and flying . 😊❤
Props to whoever that cast Cynthia and Ariana. They were born to play Elphaba and Galinda.
Glinda
Agreed which makes the film 100 percent better than when I saw on stage each production has its own merits I just think the film is higher quality
Even though I strongly dislike both of them I have to agree. They are perfect....

She's not really that nice. Just wants to appear nice and get applause.

** Prequel
The real story of the Wizard arriving in Oz-something more authentic than that 2013 film.

- A remake of her tale with added perspective from what we now know through Wicked.
** Witch of the East
With the limited portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the East in the original film, there’s plenty of room for writers to expand on the events leading up to and following the tornado.
A whole new conversation may take place here. Or even the event may differ
- Were they all already in Munchkinland, engaged in some kind of argument or conflict before the tornado struck?
Or did Elphaba arrive after the incident, drawn by the news of what happened to her sister? as depicted in the old film.

I know right the movie for The wicked musical adds a lot more to it than I thought it would
@MsMojo You should do:
Top 5 Underrated Animated Disney Channel Couples -

4 - Dipper & Wendy (Gravity Falls)
3 - Star Butterfly & Marco Diaz (SVTFOE)
2 - Kim Possible & Ron Stoppable (Kim Possible)
1 - Phineas & Isabella (Phineas & Ferb)
Apparently Cynthia did an interview with some kids and one was called Dorothy 😂
I KNEW THAT I HEARD FIYERO'S VOICE IN #1!!!
Mrs Coddle looks more like Madame Morrible from the play
The movie was so good, everyone clapped at the end of the movie
I’m so excited!!!
Why is Defying Gravity done in about 6 or so sections, is reminded me of LOTR Return of The King ending.
On stage, the Defying Gravity scene takes place directly in the Emerald City. The actor undergoes wireshooting training in order to set up the wires necessary for flight. In the movie, it takes place on the planet’s moon, using real broom flight capabilities
Neat, whoever is cast as Elphaba must be truly courageous, and not mind heights.
what 😭
@@TheRoyalsWasTaken The planet has a moon
in the movie it takes place in, and around, the castle in the Emerald City
*edited for spelling
@@ser132 The moon
Toss, toss....
a rare case when the movie version improves upon the source material
Cool but Why did they change the iconic bubble dress?
You mention the cameos in that bit then totally forget to mention the creator of wicked appearing seconds later lol. Sorry Stephen, they forgot you!
The song Wonderful is missing from the movie
That's in Act 2, so it will be in Part 2.
I almost the watch it really interesting ❤❤❤❤
I enjoyed the movie; saw the musical like 12 yrs ago so i dont remember it. I love the focus on animal rights, especially bc cynthia is vegan.
Comparing a stage musical to a cinema is ludicrous…it’s like comparing radio to television.
Er Elphabas father is the wizard
this video is so full of half truths. the stage musical does show Elphaba meeting Fiyero in the exact same way except its a cart not a horse. they certainly meet well before the oz dust
One thing that's the same is that I won't see either one
The movie is twice as long as the first act of the play
6:33 hello Ethan your fellow students Japanese yakuza game I’m playing kiryu on Xbox one
Loved the play. You can NOT replace Idina and Kristen. Loved the movie. Cynthia and Ariana did an amazing job. Most of the things mentioned in this "Top 10 Ways The Movie differs from the Musical" aren't accurate. The movie did an amazing job filling things that can't be done on stage. However all of the story line concepts in the movie were definately present in the stage play.
I've seen the play half a dozen times in several parts of the country with several different actors. I've seen the movie several times now, and absolutely love them both. But, Idina and Kristen made these parts what they are. Can't wait for part 2
the movie is so good
I really didn't enjoy this movie at all. Everyone seems to love it, but I suffered watching it, no joke. It was so freaking long. I didn't buy the friendship between the two women. I don't know. I don't know why I didn't enjoy this movie at all while most seem to think it was an amazing movie. I just really, really didn't enjoy it.
I am totally psyched to see this movie. I loved the musical. And I absolutely HATED The Wizard of Oz, because of the ending. I had to remind myself that Wicked is referencing the original Wizard of Oz books, NOT the movie. In the book, Oz was real. In the Judy Garland movie, it was all a dream/something she imagined in while knocked out from the tornado. Wicked the musical/this movie doesn't make sense in the context of the Judy Garland movie, so you really have to forget it exists.
it's never confirmed it was just a dream. it's left like that because how else is dorothy supposed to explain any of that? easy, make her think it was a dream. we dont know how time works between kansas and Oz so maybe the shoes brought her but only an hour or so had passed in kansas. You're assuming it was a dream, but it's definitely not a fact. could be true, might not be true.
Can’t wait to see it
The political salience of the narrative is so heartbreaking. I cried in the theatre thinking of the people that the country I live in is helping to murder en masse in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran… and anyone who speaks up against this can lose their jobs, is painted as an antisemite (even when they are Jewish)… it’s so depressing that this is the world we live in.
I saw someone on instagram relating elphaba to Kamala Harris and even Jon Chu said something like that in an interview and I was so disgusted. This is the same woman who said “I’m speaking” over Palestinian activists and then made it a branded catch-phrase. Americans need to wake up and realize that BOTH parties are “the wizard.”
Dont worry there is a cease fire that will stop all those poor innocent Palestinians from being attacked..... Oh wait there a a cease fire on Oct 6th of last year too and something happened? What was it again?
Wicked the play and musical is also based on wicked the book
The book is a LOT darker and has some major changes.
Why do you keep calling her Ga-Linda? She gives up that Ga-Linda crap in the film, its simply Glinda.
THANK YOU FOR USING THE CORRECT PAST TENSE OF PROPHECY, PROPHESEID
I HATE IT WHEN AMERICANS SAY PROPHESISED
im this videos 700th like
Social Media from Kappa Kappa Kappa County says that "El Fa Ba Should Be White"!!
Not green? That would change the whole story.
cooool
💚🧹💖🪄
Miss coddle was the worst decision ever made. And I loved the movie 😅
My sister just saw this movie and thought it was okay although she loves the soundtrack.
for me it was amazing, one of the best movies I've seen
Madam morrible more like madam horrible
Uhhh...I'll just stick to the stage version, thank you very much.
The movie is amazing
I'll be honest, never seen the musical. Didn't know it existed.
So watching this movie, I knew there were going to be some things that they would try to link to that I would not completely know.
Having said that, this movie leaves a lot to be desired. Actors did well with the script but the plot gutted the movie and the sequences from one scene to another were very rigid and some which made no sense at all. Why is there a wizard school? What does it matter who elphaba and her sister are? Why is there a prince who came to school for about 2-3 days? Did they even make it clear that there are other countries in the land surrounding Oz?
Why, in a world of talking animals, munchkins (who weren't small), bizarre looking people of all shapes and sizes and a GREEN EMERALD city, would anybody be shocked that someone has a green skin when magic is a key element to this world?
It would have been better to have Elphaba be known for a great unexplained calamity in her childhood which would be a catalyst as to why people feared her.
How many times can you milk remakes of wizzard of of
Are you kidding me? Even one of the actors said everybody in Oz is gay, including the chickens
Bowen was a poor choice. Can we get better representations of gay men that aren't queens🙄
Oh Grow Up That’s Your Opinion and your Opinion only as people Genuinely don’t care
I am like the shortest distance between 2 points. I have to say I can’t get enough of Bowen since I saw him on the show with Akwafina I laughed so hard he’s truly hilarious.
