@@kasity Sure, but hearing Cynthia and Ariana singing at the top of their lungs for 2 minutes straight gave me enough context clues to know the characters im watching on screen are the ones doing the singing.
I don’t think we should underestimate how beloved this musical is because it’s been running forever but also this film playing in cinemas across the world will finally allow access to all of those who couldn’t afford to see the show on stage!
@@EnterpriseGeek idk even with the popularity of the musical, an uncanny valley cgi Cats with James Corden was always a hard sell. Nevermind the fact that Wicked is an adaptation of one of the most celebrated & iconic stories of all time
Grace, love you but I do have an honest question, why do you bring up Cynthia Erivo PAST situation on every video? is it really relevant to regular movie goesrs?
One thing to understand about Grace is that she basically sees herself as a movie handicapper, in other words like a person who makes Gambling betting lines. She is always looking for the deep angle that she can see making a movie not make a lot of money. If there was a service that put real money on box office predictions Grace would either run it or be addicted to betting on it.
I think what we are missing is that Grace is an Inside scooper and professional reviewer. This makes her privy to information that most of us don't know unless we too are on the inside. However, some people in this channel know the tone of Hollywood. If it does not interest you or skew your opinion of the actor/movie, just ignore these little tidbits.
This show has been running since 2003. It stands the test of time because of the Score and story. The book series is still a best seller... this movie will break records
I think its feally unfair and uncool that Grace keeps mentioning Cynthias past. Because honestly, ive never even heard of it and the only person who brings it up, seems to be Grace. This is a woman who claims to ve femenist and all about the girls, yet keeps reminding everyone of cynthias past... Leave her alone. This movie will be outstanding and it just seems like grace doesnt -want- it to do well, for some reason. I think shes vastly underestimating how beloved wicked actually is.
I agree. Like she’s trying to be an ally but it’s just coming off performative and it’s super weird because she’s literally tearing down a talented Black actress.
Grace I really think you’re underestimating how popular Wilded the stage musical is. Millions of people have seen the stage play. It’s a pillar of broadway and a touring behemoth.
They're still not playing up the 'Part 1' angle and the fact that this movie is planned as a 2 part release. This could frustrate a lot of fans who go into it expecting the full movie. Unless Universal has backpaddled on this but they haven't said that's the case.
@@amrit4167 And that’s really the only issue I can see hurting this film. Universal should put the Part 1 in the marketing. However, given the recent Horizon situation putting Chapter 1 in the title could also backfire. I believe this might turn into a “damned if you do/don’t” situation. I think the movie just has to be good. I think it looks amazing, but it really will have to be to get the wide audience invested in even the idea of a second part. TL;DR They should focus on making certain that this is an amazing movie and then the rest should fall into place.
Um not really , if you are a wicked fan and knew that they were making a movie then you would have read that its in 2 parts. People especially grown adults shouldn't need a number to state the obvious about this musical
This is the best woman/woman friendship musical ever made. To be clear it is about female friendship, not lovers, friendship and that makes it one of the most endearing plays of all time. Very excited.
God this movie is absolutely stunning. This trailer was amazing. I hope it performs well, but it could go either way. I do think the performances are going to be fantastic though.
This trailer was just absolutely everything I could've asked for. Music? check, we hear several parts of Defying Gravity, the showstopper number. Visuals? check, since the teaser we knew it would be beautiful but the level or ornate detail that they have shown was actually real and built for the movie continues to astound. Acting? Check, it really seems like all the actors are giving it their all and committing, and even adding more dramatic elements to make this very whismy musical and story feel very real and relatable. also I think that rumor mills saying that the most recent cut of the film is excellent helps with general chatter about the movie plus that PG rating definitely helps win families over who may think something from Broadway may be a bit too much for kids
This is going to blow everyone away. Long time wicked fan and it’s perfect. Absolutely perfect. Grace I’m so excited for you to experience this story, I wish so badly I could see it for the first time again.
I think what's wild is this trailer basically has shown us the climax of Part 1 almost beat for beat. It's obvious the movie is ending with Defying Gravity. And now we basically have seen snippets of the finale from all angles.
I was just thinking the same thing. I think it’s a testament to how iconic and well-known the original musical is (at least among theatre fans). They know that a huge portion of the audience is going to go into this movie already knowing what happens, so they don’t necessarily feel the need to keep the plot a secret.
@@madtitanangelo5079I absolutely love the musical. I know every film adaptation makes changes but I hope they at least keep the spirit of the musical in this film
Wicked is actually a really beautiful story about sisterhood. They’re not even playing up Nessarose, Elphaba’s paraplegic sister and the impetus creating the Silver Slippers so she could walk.
please, this is going to make SOOOO MUCH MONEY if it gets good reviews or not. i do think there’s enough people who love the play enough to make this a success.
As someone who never got the chance to see this on Broadway I cannot wait for this! The first full trailer worked its way into my head and has been there rent free since it dropped always popping up with that tease of Defying Gravity and now this trailer gives us a bigger piece of that amazing number and I am just… PLEASE let this be as amazing as it looks so that it can be legit competition against Moana 2 and prove that Disney does not have to dominate the Holiday corridor no matter how much affinity I do have for them. If Jon M. Chu can deliver the goods on this and Cynthia and Ariana show up to play, which it looks like they surely are, we could witness Universal giving birth to a brand new IP for themselves. I’m talking look for Elphaba and Galinda to start showing up at Universal Studios! How exciting would that be?! 🤯 Just imagine if this movie could blow up that much to put Elphaba and Galinda on par with Disney Princesses!
Sooo excited for this! As someone who went from seeing movies every month pre-Covid to just one movie each of the past few years, I'll be seeing this MULTIPLE TIMES in IMAX!!
I'm getting more and more excited for this film. I do think the trailers show more than they should for people who don't know the story but it's very much for people who know. I think it's eing seen as underrated right now because the marketing isn't really going that hard and even the product lines seem like they held back on things. I hope it's amazing, I hope it has something for most people and I hope it does good.
Love the shirt Grace, I know it's a little thing but I always notice the effort you make in terms of your clothing, and I have to say it just makes me appreciate you even more❤❤
Thank you so much for the WICKED coverage Grace! I fell in love with this musical in 2012 and Ariana Grande is my favorite pop star of all time 🩷💚 I literally can’t wait for this movie!
This looks fantastic, I would love to see it multiple times!! I wonder if many people who can't go to see the broadway version will take the chance and see this one!!!
Wicked is an incredible musical. If you know the musical then all the trailers were fantastic and gave me the “chills”. If you don’t know the story of wicked, you will absolutely fall madly in love with the story. Trust me. It’s funny, it’s moving and it’s spectacular. With Cynthia and Ariana….this movie(s) will be a blockbuster HIT! People that don’t like musicals will find this movie relatable in many ways. The questions that you may have had in the original Wizard of Oz will be answered in this sorta “prequel”. Although I haven’t seen the film, I can almost guarantee this film will be as fantastical as the original. I know ALL the fans of Wicked and Ariana will see this during this holiday season. I also know those that go to see movies as such during the holidays will definitely see this as well, and I believe with word of mouth, this may be a huge hit. I can’t wait!
There’s also an international trailer released which is fantastic as it gives more of the subplot to the movie. Which I wish we got. Cuz it also has newer footage. But what’s interesting with this trailer is the new line readings compared to trailer one. So I’m keen to see what we’re getting in November
Unless they are changing up the story, which the trailers haven’t implied to me, this really does show all of Act 1 of Wicked. And Wicked Part 1 is just Act 1 with a few expanded areas (I expect part 2 will be expanded much more, and it needs it). But there will be so many Oz-movie fans and Wicked-theatre fans that this movie probably doesn’t care/feel the need to hide the story.
Always loved Wicked, but it kind of made no sense to have a biography of the Wicked witch, when the whole thing was a dream. The tornado broke a window in Dorothy's house and the window knocked her out.
It's not technically a dream. In the Wizard of Oz film, they turn it into a dream, but in the original Wizard of Oz and Wicked books, Oz is a real place. Dorthy didn’t dream it up. Jon M. Chu said they're pulling from all different Oz lore from cinema and both book series, and I've seen a lot of easter eggs from book-accurate descriptions in the wicked movie trailers, like how the Cowardly lion is a real lion and not anthropomorphic. And Nessa has silver slippers like she did in the original book. The movie changed it to ruby slippers because of the technicolor. Even Ariana’s slight southern twang in some scenes is not only a respectful homage to the original Glinda actress in Wicked Kristin Chenoweth, but also because in the original Wizard of Oz book. Glinda was the Witch of the South, not the North. The Witch of the North was a completely different character and the 1939 movie combined those two into one.
I’m so excited!!!! I know they’re not coming out on the same day anymore but I might try and see this and Moana 2 on the same day. That would be so much fun.
That is one gorgeous trailer. I never saw the musical and wasn’t interested in it, but with Cynthia Erivo in there and Ariana the singing is going to be spectacular. I’m definitely in.
If you thought Mean Girls was a good musical this will probably blow your mind. This musical is the superior one for sure. So much that even Arianas ass as Glenda won't stop me for me seeing it.
Family friendly musicals usually do very well, especially during holidays. Beauty & Beast, Greatest Showman, Wonka…Wicked is family friendly until it gets to the second act AKA Part II. I’m sure this first film will do fine, also the CGI looks better than all the recent Disney Live action remakes combined!
I am SO STOKED for Wicked! It’s gonna be my first movie in cinemas since… gosh, The Green Knight? Gonna wait a bit to see it, though, when the cinema isn’t as crowded. (The joys of no one masking anymore and being high-risk and us being in a huge covid spike…)
Grace! You have to watch the Brazil Wicked Trailer 2 video! It’s so much better than the 2nd trailer they released here in the states! It sets us up more for the story of the film!!
They aren't hiding that its a musical, but they are hiding that its Part 1!! Part 2 is in a year
They sang throughout the entire trailer idk what else they could've done to show its a musical! 🤣
@@wvan1174show the characters actually singing
@@kasity Sure, but hearing Cynthia and Ariana singing at the top of their lungs for 2 minutes straight gave me enough context clues to know the characters im watching on screen are the ones doing the singing.
Right because they need to say it because Part 2 will be crucial to bring everything together
But I'm wondering if this movie is part one or is the entire trailer they're showing is both part one or part two.
I don’t think we should underestimate how beloved this musical is because it’s been running forever but also this film playing in cinemas across the world will finally allow access to all of those who couldn’t afford to see the show on stage!
Exactly. That's why im seeing it. Never done Broadway
I said the same thing about the Cats movie lol
Yes! I have been wanting to see Wicked for so long. I can’t wait to finally see it in the cinema. 😊
Well Cats was/is still the most popular stage musical worldwide, always sold out on tour.....never would i have thought it would flop that hard...
@@EnterpriseGeek idk even with the popularity of the musical, an uncanny valley cgi Cats with James Corden was always a hard sell. Nevermind the fact that Wicked is an adaptation of one of the most celebrated & iconic stories of all time
dorothy going john wick on the wicked witch is actually an interesting pitch! lol
Toto was actually a bad dog, so I actually sympathize with the woman bitten, but as a child I sympathized with Dorothy and the dog.
In all due respect, Cats is in a league of its own. Nothing could ever get near that film again, thankfully.
That was just a bad thing to adapt.
I disagree, Grace. I hate musicals, but i really want to see this movie.
I am a freaking hardcore Wicked fan. This story means the world to me and dying to see this on a premium screen.
Grace, love you but I do have an honest question, why do you bring up Cynthia Erivo PAST situation on every video? is it really relevant to regular movie goesrs?
I have only ever heard about that controversy through Grace, never seen it on social media or in mainstream news or anywhere
One thing to understand about Grace is that she basically sees herself as a movie handicapper, in other words like a person who makes Gambling betting lines. She is always looking for the deep angle that she can see making a movie not make a lot of money. If there was a service that put real money on box office predictions Grace would either run it or be addicted to betting on it.
Good question, because I never heard of the controversy till she mentioned it and she keeps mentioning it. I think we should move on from it
I think what we are missing is that Grace is an Inside scooper and professional reviewer. This makes her privy to information that most of us don't know unless we too are on the inside. However, some people in this channel know the tone of Hollywood. If it does not interest you or skew your opinion of the actor/movie, just ignore these little tidbits.
@brorican1 you're right, but if it was that serious, then she wouldn't be getting roles or be invited to events
I have no connection to the musical but I teared up when Glinda tied the cape around Elphaba, this just looks so good!
In the musical is even more powerful
@@rocknroll20024 idk i think the film will do a better job since we can see their close up shots
If this does well… can you imagine an OZ land in a Universal Park???!!!
That would make me so happy, you have no idea
oooo
Saw the stage version twice and loved it. Both actresses seem to have truly bonded on/off camera. The film looks beautiful. Can’t wait!
The movie's been on broadway and london for twenty years.I'm pretty sure there's a lot of fans
Cats was one of the most successful Broadway and West End musicals of all time, like, anything could happen with Wicked….
people from outside the english sponken countries want to know what the story is about.
@KristophersKorner I mean the VFX isn’t great either, this one is looking kinda Netflix production. Still kinda excited lmao.
@@pablovalenzuela6138 Had the same reaction. Love the play but the VFX here do look a little Netflix-y.
@pablovalenzuela6138 They could have did Cats better, the production choices and casting really sunk it.
OMG the Wicked Witch theme at the end from the OG movie was amazing!!!! can’t wait!!!!
Great catch!
This show has been running since 2003. It stands the test of time because of the Score and story. The book series is still a best seller... this movie will break records

And yet she’s been bringing it up for YEARS despite it having no impact anywhere
small detail that i love is them incorporating the original wicked witch theme in the music towards the end 😊
Seems A lot of people are seriously under estimating this film I really think it’s gonna be amazing
GRACE NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE CONTROVERSIES FROM CYNTHIA! Please 🙏🏾
Yea they do. Blk folks didn't forget.
@@hsaitoh9790People in USA doesn't know what happen.
Only people in UK knows
We do.
@@hsaitoh9790maybe you should forget it because whatever it was nobody cares about it except for Grace and maybe 100 other folks

Not all of us. I'll wait for the reviews first !

“Don’t be afraid to show the singing”
Ma’am….they sang through 75% of this trailer
They didn't. The songs played but they were not performing it. I doubt the movie is them acting while songs play.
U cracked me up with that John Wick Dog reference 😂
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS! AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM

CATS WAS SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks very very good, im so excited. Chu never misses, from the cast to the special effects.
I can guarantee this will do well. From Wicked to Ariana fans, this movie will succeed objectively.
2 days this trailer came out already... I know it's only 2 days but that went fast 💚

I can’t wait but having it in two parts will be interesting 🩷🩷💚💚 the soundtrack is going to be everything
I wonder if they’ll release the soundtrack in two parts too?
Every gay man in America is going to this opening night. We’ve been waiting 20+ years!
So the film is going to flop at the box office
everything looks stunning, epic and magical. i can’t wait to be blown away!
CATS WAS THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“She wore a crown and she came down in a bubble Doug!” that meme sold it to me before this trailer did. Ngl I'm excited
Ecstatic to go see this movie like 5 times!!
"This is a way better trailer than the first one"
The trailer literally was like 15 seconds in! 😂
Looks amazing! Can't wait. Super excited!
"Dorothy needed to go all John Wick on her" 🤣 priceless
Wait. I think they convinced me to see it in theaters
Grace, you should definitely try and go see the show by lottery/discount tickets before you review. For research!😄
Sooo excited for this! As someone who went from seeing movies every month pre-Covid to just one movie each of the past few years, I'll be seeing this MULTIPLE TIMES in IMAX!!
CATS IS IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN!

Grace!!! I was literally typing in youtube saying I Hope grace has a new video and then my phone notified me you uploaded this!!
Never saw wicked and not very into broadway but I want to watch this movie. This looks like an instant "classic"
LOL CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wicked plays right into the wizard of oz, both acts circle the events we are used to seeing but it’s done very seamlessly!
She is pure hearted...misunderstood... And super powerful. Is that it? Hopefully her character is more layered.

The vocals, the cinematography, well done. My most anticipated film this holiday season
