Oh I didn't know those shoes actually helped dorothy except at the end. I totally thought she just stole some dead person's shoes cuz they were pretty lol.

I have been back multiple times, ALONE, because it holds that deep a piece of my heart.

The way I manifested Cynthia singing "Defying Gravity" YEARS ago.. she is going to ANNIHILATE this song! You're welcome folks 😭😭😭❤️❤️

im glad they split this movie into two, they don't have to squeeze the whole show into one film.

This is book + musical+ brand new moments from the broadway book writer. We will see never before seen things throughout both films. That's exciting.

Even singing Ari sounds like Kristin to me. The first time I heard Popular from this trailer I was like " Are they using Kristin's voice for the trailer as an homage?"

Kristin Chenoweth was on Glee, but also on Julie Andrews' Life Achievement Tribute, and Cynthia was there too, Ariana got a sample of My Favorite Things from Julie Andrews, Kristin was on Glee and acted with Lea Michele that acted with Ariana on Scream Queens, Julie plays the voiceover of Bridgerton where Jonathan Bailey is in...I love these iconics connections😍💗

If this does not WIN both the Golden Globe AND the Oscar for Best EVERTTHING, they have NO TASTE in what a good movie is anymore. I have not even SEEN the Broadway version, and I am excited. I DID listen to Idina Menzel singing Defying Gravity and she gave me chills and made me cry. Perhaps she can do this song over the end credits, like they did with Celine Dion in Beauty and the Beast.? DAMN this looks impressive, compared to other recent musicals (Cats) and DEFINITELY better than Oz the Great and Powerful. I like Elphaba's makeup and costuming much better here. it seems to be staying true to the story. They are not making Elphaba just another super empowered woman. She has some pain and some cracks and it seems like she FINDS her power through this. THAT is how to properly portray an empowered woman.

The “Him” that you’re trying to identify is Fiyero, played by Jonathan Bailey who we know from Bridgerton and most recently Fellow Travelers.

@@COSun25 Do you mean the old movie with Judy Garland? I try to forget that exists, because if it does Wicked makes zero sense, and Wicked is better. I say that because nothing in the Wizard of Oz movie with Judy Garland actually happened; it was just a hallucination/dream while Dorothy was recovering from getting hurt in the tornado.

i NEED to hear this Defying Gravity...its sooo GOOD so far!

I was skeptical about Ariana being cast as Glinda, because I have only seen her act in Victorious, and I think of her more as a pop star than a Broadway singer (though I know that she did get her start on Broadway). However, based on this trailer I think she will do a good job in this role. I look forward to seeing her performance!

I totally cried when I watched this the first time lol

The musical is based on the novel "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire. Then, it got developed into a musical-meanwhile he released a sequel called "Son of a Witch". So, there is a potential for this to be a franchise, cover the broadway musical, but then do something like "Greatest Showman" and just release movie musicals as sequels. All based on the books.

It's literally perfect 💚

You should read the book. It's *very* different in a lot of ways but gives a lot of context that will reshape your udnerstanding of the musical.

I was shouting, "STOP" at the screen when you put in that chloe bailey meme thing, i freaking can't LOL.. Love your reaction to the trailer by the way!

@mayadoly3576 I considered that too, but wizard and i is in a lower key than gravity, and as someone who has sung it hundreds of times, I don't know where this ahhh would sit. But I can see them extending the end of gravity from the "bring me down... bring me down... ahhh [with the riff]", especially with gravity finishing off the first film, I think they will milk it for all it's worth 😅

It's clear from this trailer that it ends with Defy Gravity, so this film is only half the story. They split the play into two movies.

I would love for you to do a reaction to Cynthia erivo at the Kennedy center honors doing Dionne Warwick’s “alfie”. That tribute is what has me really excited for wicked. 😊

I'm crying alot seeing this ❤❤❤❤can't wait to see it. 😊

I 100% agree with you, and I totally think it was on purpose. I know Kristen & Idina’s performances (due to.. ahem *legal* copies of the OBC online) like the back of my hand, and from the first teaser trailer, I knew Elphaba was very, very different from Idina’s from 2 lines of delivery alone. At first I was pretty bummed out due to how attached I am to that version of her, but now that more time has passed, I think it’s perfect. Ariana being a homage and paying tribute to Kristen & Cynthia making this role totally her own brings a beautiful mix of old & new, tradition & original.

I cant stop crying. So excited

How do you not know that Jonahtan Bailey is Fiyero? Literally one of the main characters. LOL

That is a great laugh for her character.

Regarding sequels..... We WILL be getting a "Part 2" next year as they're splitting the stage musical into two movies. I can only assume that the split will be placed at the end of Act I, IE after "Defying Gravity." That being said, the Wicked novels DO have three sequels but none of them have been adapted into any kind of visual medium yet. Personally, I would love to see them, perhaps as a Netflix or Hulu series, a la "The Handmaids Tale" SPOILERS AHEAD.......... In the original Gregory Maguire novel, "Wicked: The Life and Time of the Wicked Witch of the West," Elphaba ultimately ends up dying at the end of the book, just like she does in the original story, after Dorothy tosses the bucket of water on her. In the musical, Elphaba fakes her own death and flees Oz with Fiyero. We don't yet know if the movie will adapt the ending of the book or the musical. That being said, Elphaba also has a son in the books named Liir, and eventually a granddaughter named Rain who both serve as the protagonists of some of the sequels.

Wicked is actually going to be separated in two parts because they couldn’t fit all of the musical into one movie !

I have only watched clips of the musical (dont worry i found a slime recipe in youtube will watch the musical this week), but i love the book, read it in middle school for the first time, have read it 3 times more since then, i get emotional watching the trailer, it is what i read coming to life in the best way, i remember every scene from the book, cannot be more excited from it. So ready for thanks giving to see this.

This had me psyched!

I don't comment much here, but you are literal perfection and I love you. The little things you catch in everything you react to are perfection

I, too, would love to know about the origin of the hat given to Elphaba by GA-linda. It might be in the original book.

So I was watching Ryan McCartan's reaction and he seems to think that all the music is a "trailer version" of the actual music, because it is so different.
