The fact that they actually BUILT the world of Oz instead of just having a bunch of CGI is astounding. In my opinion it is one of the biggest things that sets this movie apart and makes it truly magical.
@@MsDana-mo9fpI did not know who Cynthia was either which surprised me with her highly expansive and impressive career. As far as Ariana, she’s of Sicilian descent (I am too and I’ll be damned if someone calls us latinas lmao) let’s start there and separate the art from the artist, maybe?
This movie not only raised, but REDEFINED what it means for future movie musical adaptations. No woke contents, no changing storylines, they respected the original source with instense research and knowledge on the subject. THIS is what makes movie adaptation amazing
With how much story is packed into the Broadway show, I like that they're making it two movies. It gives things more time to breathe and because they did actually create the world they have time and space to include more things or explanations that otherwise wouldn't be in the musical. Plus there are two acts in wicked so there's a great stopping point where you can do the first half of the musical and then the second half...both of which easily fit into two movies. I really like the idea but I'm sad I'll have to wait a year for "For Good" which has been my favorite song for over a decade.
Thank youuu, Cynthia, Ariana, and all that made this movie possible so my little boy can see this love and unity; so he knows he’s not alone in anything he feels whenever he feels disenchanted or confused. 🙏
What the world needs is for people to pull their heads out of their asses and truly wake up. Hollywood and Broadway cannot create happiness and peace. That comes from people choosing it. And most of the world have become so dependent on governments telling us that we have gotten completely out of control. But hey humans will be humans. I do agree with you to a point just don't think this is the way
Omg her tears!!! That moved me so deeply. I read the book but never found time to see the play. I’ll be seeing the movie this weekend and I’m so excited!!!❤ And this country NEEDS a story like this right now. So very much🥲
I watched the wizard of Oz on repeat as a child and skipped around my living room in ruby slippers. Seeing Wicked for the first time was incredible. I saw it again quickly after and earlier this year was lucky enough to see it again, whilst sitting next to my niece and seeing it blow her mind. I’m so excited for the movie. Watching the interviews and BTS has only made me more excited for it. These characters do mean a lot and I’m grateful the people playing them understand that. Ariana saying she was going to take care of Glinda ❤ And Cynthia was made for this. I fell in love with her in El Royale.
@@Jasmin_c00l the movie wicked is not out yet but will be at the cinema. I saw the stage show, which is what I’m talking about. The movie is an adaptation of the stage show
I saw it in the West End of London with Edina Menzel. I also saw it in Finland! It is an amazing musical and absolutely stunning and a joy to watch. I cried both times. I can’t wait to see the movie. The casting seems to be perfect for the two female leads!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just incredible!! What they did with the sets was amazing... it was so detailed and over-the-top fun. Amazing. And THEN you put Cynthia & Ariana on the top of it all...with an out-of-this-world cameo....I. Can. Now. Die. Happy. ❤... until I saw the "To Be Continued"... second thought - I. Cannot. Die. Yet.
@cherrysIushie omg no way lol it's hard to even meet people here since I'm in the middle of nowhere now. I'm actually close to Kansas so at least it's on theme 😂
I’m going to see my second favorite musical with my mother next week and it’s autistic straight girl who was often believed to be a lesbian because she showed affection differently. This movie about being who you are unapologetically yourself. Regards of how the world labeled you. I know it’s going to mean so much to me and I sincerely hope that I can cry when I see it.
This was such an amazing adaptation. I know Ariana Grande had a good voice but her voice in this was insanely good. Cynthia’s voice blew me away. The emotion she portrayed was simply incredible.
I thought the casting of Cynthia was terrible when she was first announced, mainly because I really just hate that shaved head ring in nose look and couldn't project what she might look like as the witch--also because of some of her utterly needless "woke" stuff over the vastly improved fan poster design and such--but she turned out to be kinda perfect once they made her ironically look and act more "normal" [just green]. In my opinion she might wanna learn something from that--not that she will. Anyway, I really enjoyed the movie and honestly thought they cast pretty much every character perfectly and nailed the look perfectly of all the costumes and sets too. And the musical numbers were all spot on. Definitely looking forward to Part 2 now.
This looks so great! I can't wait to see it. PS Would you possibly consider changing the title to add Cynthia's name after Ariana's? She deserves it. Thank you!
And that is the reason Ariana got picked. She didn’t see it as a role she could win. She saw it as a character and wanted to take care of her and do her justice.
‘We are all deserving of kindness’ oh cynthia, does that apply to the fan you dressed down for their completely harmless edit of your boring as poster?
I think it was an overreaction, the person who did the poster wanted it to be like the original theatre poster, there was no malice at all. And it was taken down immediately.
@@markgee5967 who are yall to tell another person that their feelings are invalid? she has a right to feel however she wants to feel about it. as it is her face on the art to began with. little do people know that cynthia got to add details about character to embrace the BEAUTY of black women. messing with her lips, removing her freckles and even changing her hair.. it was purely disrespectful. and imagine if it were you. imagine you took a picture of yourself and someone decides to make ''adjustments'' to your face and go on to say ''i fixed it'' ..
Imagine getting cast and giving your all for a starring role in a big Hollywood film…only to have fans hide your face on the poster. It wasn’t harmless, it was hurtful and thoughtless. We have to take a moment to consider that just because we can…doesn’t mean we should.
The lady was just having a human moment and she has also expressed that she probably should have just called a friend. Let’s leave that to rest. She hasn’t continued to go on about it. Haven’t we all had one such moments in this human life of ours and we’re not so proud of our reaction? Yes, Cynthia is a star but she’s human first ❤️.
It's not bad ! But being Green can be mean. Slow in pacing Bitchy Roommates and Witches going different ways. Visuals and Sets outstanding. But it gets 6.5/10 Part 2 must be far better
Actually impressed by what I see from Ariana Grande in this video I was gonna skip it but I will watch it cos I think she may surprise me... never liked Cynthia sorry don't come for me
literally variety and others major media are predicting that ariana could be relevant in the next awards season, including the oscars.. but according to you who haven't even seen the movie she's a bad actress? 😂
@@simpar3097 first of all, victorious and scream queens were a decade ago ☠️, and she literally received praise from film critics saying she should be nominated for an emmy for snl, I think u don't even know what acting is lol

When I say that part right there is amazing 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
absolutely outstanding ❤
From the original Wizard of Oz to this, this franchise is continuously upping the game for the film industry 🙌

the physical set designs are amazing. the biggest thing since harry potters sets
Both of their reactions were pure gold, so humble, so sweet, so amazingly talented, just incredible!!!!!!
Love that they used practical effects rather than just CGI for everything
I hope that this raises the bar for future movie musical adaptations. They took it back to the MGM set building!

“I love her so much, I’m gonna take such good care of her” - Ari you are so beautiful and sweet.
I have never been so excited for a movie…it’s going to be very hard to wait more for part 2
Especially with the cliffhanger at the end!
Yea they know exactly what they are doing $$$$

that whole set might be one of the best production sets i’ve ever seen i hope they make a wicked park or something
Yesss
Oh they absolutely are. It’ll most probably be at the Universal Epic Universe park
Cool idea! 👍🏼👍🏼
It truly is vital and urgent at this moment. The world needs this beautiful, magical, powerful story.

They should relocate those sets directly to Universal and create an Oz Land.
Can you imagine that? They should really do that!
With all the divisiveness in our world today - this movie is right on time - a breath of fresh air. Thank You! 😊
Not me crying during some of this BTS! Its going to be so wonderful and I can't wait!
Omg her tears!!! That moved me so deeply. I read the book but never found time to see the play. I’ll be seeing the movie this weekend and I’m so excited!!!❤

I watched this today and it was so gooddd. Absolutely magical. All of us in the theater ended up clapping in the end
2:33 omg Ariana’s acting is impressive! I can see why they cast her.
Saw it yesterday for an early screening, it was so beautiful and emotional. Definitely recommend you guys go and see it when it comes out.
I literally cried watching this like I am so filled with joy! Can't wait to finally see it💚💗

This was such an amazing adaptation. I know Ariana Grande had a good voice but her voice in this was insanely good.
Cynthia’s voice blew me away. The emotion she portrayed was simply incredible.
Building the set, okay good. Building the train, seems a bit excessive for just one scene but okay. But planting actual tulips? Crazyy
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE
Tickets for the 23rd.
Sooooo excited!!!
I’ve seen Wicked off-Broadway and it is so amazing!!!
How was it?
This is amazing. 👏 👏 👏
Of course im led to see such a remarkable project🤢🤗 thank you Jon❤!
so exited
I can’t wait!!!
Maybe a 3-D version or IMAX sometime in the future?
Is it still going to be a two part film?
Yes
I am forwarding this post
hahahahaha lord jesus why im i crying!!!
Llevo como 10 años esperando esta película, desde que se anunció
Is Cynthia Erivo even human? How does she exist? ❤
I just read that this movie is only part 1 - they don’t make that very clear. Part 2 is not even filmed yet 😡🤨
I want to see this film so bad but unfortunately for me I’m to sick… I’m sure it’s wonderful
They all sang love for the movie too
0:00
there I was again tonight
Forcing laughter faking smiles
i wanna know why does cynthia use american accent instead of british accent in wicket?
Ariana 🥹
'Magic' . . . 😎

I hate misleading thumbnails
Maybe Hollywood finally got a musical right. It’s been 40 years of disaster after disaster.
Ariana’s voice sounds so different on the screens
What has happened with the set now? Has it been dismantled or can be be repurposed into a lifetime joy Center?
I'm crying and I haven't even seen the movie yet! I'm taking a lot of kleenex..
Omg I can't believe they actually made Cynthia fly irl this is actually crazy
It would be more interesting if Erivo and Grande switched roles.
It's a shame great Eva looks better dressed as a witch then in regular clothes. Who is her designer, HELP😪😪😪😪😪
I hope they don't ruin it
They definitely didn’t.
Just because you rebrand evil as "different" doesn't change anything
‘We are all deserving of kindness’ oh cynthia, does that apply to the fan you dressed down for their completely harmless edit of your boring as poster?

I’m trying to figure out why they cast a 31 year old and 37 year old to play young adults. Doesn’t fit in my opinion.
I was thinking the same, but the second half is set during the events with Dorothy, so they may have been casting for that
Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth were both in their thirties when did the original on stage.
lets be honest Ariana is a bad actor... but im sure her voice will help a lot :)
