Fun fact: those 9 million tulips are not VFX.
damnnnn
I would not want to be the gardener responsible for that omg lol
Yeah some directors just want real flowers. Like the cornfields in Interstellar and Man of Steel were also 100 present real.
@@Jarcovancapelleveen and the Boeing crash in Tenet, no cgi. Nolan is next level
@@nef4588 Same lol
They're definitely doing 2 parts, a year apart. The Director (or writer) evidently said that they didn't want to cut anything out, and wanted to divide it with Defying Gravity. They felt like it needed to break there.
I'm so glad that they won't be cutting anything out, I think it would be an absolute shame if they did!
I'm not convinced that they really needed to split it in two parts to not cut anything. The play is not much longer than a conventional movie anyways.
@@user-dg4qm2bl4b the play is in two parts, it has an interval between part one and two, plus with the movie they will be able to add more to it from the book, that the play doesn’t have a chance to do
@@user-dg4qm2bl4b I think, from what I understand, that they may be pulling parts from the book as well.
That being said...I really wanted a Live Cast Recording, like they have done for Newsies and Hamilton.
Just make a three hour long movie dammit.
We got book accurate Dorothy shoes, and the OG Glinda, Billie Burke pink bubble dress. We got OSCAR WINNER MICHELLE YEOH, as Madame Morrible and Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard.
And we are getting Two “Acts”.
This movie is the Super Bowl for the girls, gays and theys.
As a straight man who loved stereotypically "girly" things and wasn't afraid to express that despite the bullying I got from it this movie means so much to me
@@bojurie Same! Though I am actually on the ace spectrum.
@@ragabashmoon1551 that's awesome! Honestly so hyped to revisit Oz again!
As a straight girl not tuning into this shit. Arianna is a homewrecker. Also isn't this series old? This for the grandma boomers and their adult daughters.
in other words, outside the beltway, an UNmitigated '💣'!!! 👎
Jeff Goldbloom as The Wizard is just amazing.
literally just his role from Thor Ragnarok
@@melleen629 Which is just Jeff Goldblum playing himself. XD
They are in fact doing two parts, because 1) they don’t want to cut anything from the stage show, and 2) Gregory Maguire wanted to include more of his original novel into this film adaptation, since his book was always supposed to be made into a movie.
That makes sense because the book is loooong! I wonder how much they'll include from the book though, it is certainly a lot more...dark than the musical had space for nuance to include. I read it as a teen not long after the musical started up and yeah...not really the most appropriate maturity wise for all teens. I probably should have been a few years older for the first read. So there's likely some of those more intense elements that won't make it into the movie simply due to the producers probably wanting to keep a PG-13 rating at highest. I'd be very surprised if they go for an R. The musical I wouldn't say is great for really young kids but it's fine for teens and pre-teens and I doubt they want to cut out that audience group.
I REALLY didn't like the book, but I think it was mostly his style of writing that bothered me. I read it way back when it was first published, and I remember thinking the idea was cool, but the execution sucked. If they do put more of the book in, I hope they get a great screenwriter to collaborate.
1) The stage show is only about 2 1/2 hours without intermission, so they could've made the movie 2 1/2 hours (or even 3 hours) without cutting anything. 2) I haven't read the book but I hear it's way darker and some important plot points are different, so I hope they don't fundamentally change Wicked the musical in order to be faithful to the book.
@@MusicSparkleStar09I did the same! I saw the musical with my family when I was in 7th or 8th grade, and I was so excited to read the book. I did not realize how explicit and graphic it was going to be lol. I was like oh I am definitely not telling anyone I’m reading this right now.
@@ferosha99we’re getting more content with two parts, stop complaining. it’s not meant to be a shot for shot remake of the stage play.
Remember when Ariana did a duet with Mika that sampled Popular and now she's playing the character that sings Popular?
I remember that!😂
lmao i was obsessed with that music video where they poison everyone at the dinner party - this was my first introduction to ariana grande altogether
Shut up I swear I thought I dreamed that song 😂
She sang show tunes with Seth McFarlane a few years back.
She’s actually mentioned Glenda being a dream role a good while before she was cast
I love how every actress that plays Elphaba and Glinda brings their own specialness to the characters with inflection and different riffs to songs. They make them so unique and different to every show and that's one of the things I love about live theater. It's different every time.
fun fact if there are those who don't know. Every Elphaba "black" dress is different. All are made from the same collection of fabrics but they are each put together with those fabrics in different ways. Also every Elphaba hat is different, mostly in the curves of the brims so it becomes each Elphaba's "signature".
I also had the same aprehension about Ariana and i am pretty much cured of it. That shot of her saying "youre green" i just thought "thats Glinda!"
I could watch it over and over i love it 😅
i was kinda not of fan of ariana's casting. but after these leaked footage when i saw the dress and her version of no one mourns the wicked they got me there! So SO excited.
Ariana is classically trained and one of the best vocalists of all time what are you on?
@@allthingspage1498and Kristin Chenoweth personally mentored Ariana to her audition for Glinda's role so I'm sure she will give justice to Glinda's character.
@@allthingspage1498lol
@@allthingspage1498not everyone knows this and just because she’s classically trained she’s still known for her pop career. I think many were just expecting a different direction for casting.
@@allthingspage1498 Acting is also important and she hasn't acted in a while, and her background was Disney channel so it's reasonable to have doubts about her current ability.
I kind of felt that way about Ryan Gosling as Ken. “Hes too old to play Ken now!” I said. Then I saw the movie and realized he is the only person to play Ken. He made the movie. I understand the same sentiment about Cynthia but I have a feeling she will wow everyone and make it her own.
I also think Ariana will do a great job. She is obviously really talented but she is very versatile as well. I saw her on SNL and she is an amazing impressionist. She can sound exactly like so many singers. If you haven’t seen it then watch it and you will be amazed. I have a feeling she will be able to embody that Kristen Chenoweth cute and funny version of Glinda very easily
shes near 40. she is way to old to be playing a college student
@@SoulKnightKing she looks older than a college student but she doesn’t look 40 to me. Also I think casting for realism when it comes to age seems a little silly because how realistic is a character with a green face? 😂
It’s pretty common to cast older actors in high school or college age roles. Just watch Saved By The Bell 😉
@laurenmichero9003 have you seen Ari? She looks dolled up but still very believable for College aged. Cynthia comparivtely does not. OK, she's green? But Cynthia is just a straight miscast. Aside from the fact ger voice is too pretty and will blend too well with Aris Glinda, when Glinda and Elphaba by design are vocally designed to contrast with one another when they blend.
And yes he still looks old
@@SoulKnightKingAriana does *not* look college student aged. All the surgery she’s had has made her look older and worse than ever. Come on now, you don’t have to lie to put Cynthia down.
@@xxxmaysilssss690just saw ariana appear on SNL today & ppl compared her to when she was on SNL in 2014 & she looks the same..
screaming surgery and providing no proof while she looks the same ..
I honestly hope that in the movie they show the supporting cast like nessa, boq, etc, transform into their wizard of oz characters. When I saw the show it was so cool to see how they got their stories leading up to the characters everyone knows from the wizard of Oz. Like how Nessa got the famous slippers from her father in the first place and how the lion who got released is probably the lion grown up. It’s just so fun to see these little connections!
Yess I've always thought this would be super cool to see! There are a lot of hints in the show that tell us who these characters eventually become but it's never fully shown.
YES. I’ve seen the stage show 3 times and the horribly loud CREAK of tin man’s first steps were so CHILLING! Everyone was absolutely breathless!
I’m also super excited for Nessa. Major underrated character. We were robbed on the soundtrack not getting “Wicked Witch of the East”.
@@tesstucker3311they didn’t include wicked witch of the east on the album because it contains too many spoilers
I think so! I’d imagine 4-5 hours of wicked altogether with part 1&2, they did this intentionally. I’m gonna keep my hopes up.
The lion is the Cowardly Lion as a baby. He even gets his own book: A Lion Among Men.
Also, please watch Mamma Mia 2, I’ve been on a kick from your video and watch both twice already 😅
😆 filmed and coming next week!!
@@HannahBayles Thank God, I was about to comment 100 times about this, guess i won't need to :).
@@HannahBayles YAY! Can’t wait to watch it ❤️
@@HannahBayles YESSSS!
hannah: "if they do change core things, i hope they change them for the better"
me: I DO BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN CHAANGED FOR THE BETTERRR
Omg I did the same thing!
I came looking to see if anyone else did this!
Because I knew you I have been changed for good
Saaaammmeee
Because i knew you..... i have CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGED.... for goooooooood
After "The Color Purple (with Halle Bailey)" came out, I decided to listen to songs from the Broadway musical with Cynthia Erivo singing so I had an idea what "The Color Purple" (the musical) sounded like and to educate myself in how she sings. After I listened to "I'm Here" and "The Color Purple" (the song) and her version of "When You Wish Upon a Star" for that "Pinocchio" movie, I was blown away by her vocals. I thought, "Dang! She's got some insane vocals!" It's no wonder that they decided to cast her as Elphaba. When I saw this trailer earlier this week, when I heard Cynthia's battle cry, I got goosebumps all over.
John Chu wanted to incorporate more from the books and really show the friendship between Glinda and Elphaba. Also Stephen Schwartz has written two new songs for part two that aren't in the original musical. So there is also that.
Well did you know that Kristen Chenoweth has known Ariana Grande since she was very young. So her playing Galinda is absolutely perfect. I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this.
THANK YOU for saying Galinda instead of Glinda. That made my heart so happy!
@amyarmenta6707 that was her name, right?
@@sharonmortimer3843 YES!!! She changed it from Galinda to Glinda later on to make Fiyero happy. (Wicked is my favorite book of all time)
I would love to see you dive into some of Cynthia's more recent live performances! There's a few from the Kennedy Center that are INSANE! The cover of "Alfie" from Dionne Warwick's Kennedy Center Honors, as well as the cover "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Prince from Next at the Kennedy Center! Both some of the best performances I have seen from her, and I have seen just about everything she has done. She only seems to be getting better, which I didn't even know was possible! Would love to see you analyze them!! 🩷
I got chills when listening to Alfie! I even made my parents see it -even though they don't know her-, because she was amazing!! I listened to her performance so many times!!
@@sophielem59 OMG SAME!! My family is so tired of me talking about her at this point 😅 If you have't yet seen her concert at The Royal Albert Hall, I recommend watching it! Her cover of "I (Who Have Nothing)" is literally out of this world!! There's a recording of the entire concert here on youtube!!
Yesssssss
Omg that performance is in my video on Friday! 😂 I just had to squeeze this one in when I saw the trailer.
Her performance in the Royal Albert Hall in my opinion is her best live performances. I've watched many of her performances, but her performance there made me a fan. I'm begging you lol, please react to it
When I tell you I SCREAMED!!! My husband started laughing at me but y'all... I'm 41 and have been wanting a movie for literally HALF MY LIFE. LOL I am SO EXCITED!
I am both excited and terrified for this movie.
Wicked was the first musical I remember seeing live and inspired my love for the genre so having it on a screen huge and powerful is hopefully going to be a dream come true. But that is also what makes me nervous, like if the changes they make have no relevance to the story and end up being a distraction (like in Matilda). I would love to see more hints about the big story moments - eg. the epilogue ending - being layered throughout and not just jump scare types of plot twists which really only work for live performances and not TV.
So I am calling my mood cautiously optomistic. Thank you for attending my ted talk x
the film was split into 2 so that they could include cut details from the book not featured in the stage show. im sure everything will be well thought out and adapted to film adequately
@@thenextbestamericanrecord That is the dream outcome. Fingers crossed 🤞
the movie is split into 2 because they didnt want to cut anything from the story. the stage show is alr vague enough as is so they are adding a lot of content to truly round out and complete the story without making any sacrifices :) side note i hope we get a more galinda focused teaser since the released trailer is ofc very elphaba centered (the book ofc is mainly abt elphaba so it makes sense, but i would still love to see a galinda teaser)
Me too!! A Glinda trailer with a glimpse of Popular would be iconic 🥺
IM SO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE! And I am so happy that we are getting so many new videos from you! Keep up the good work, Hannah! ❤
i was definitely scared when they said they were making this movie. i specifically remember saying “they should’ve just filmed a proshot like hamilton and just be done with it” LOL but as the casting was announced and i saw how much passion and love Jon M Chu has been putting into the project i gradually started to love the idea more and more. i’m definitely nervous about them changing too many things but i’m so excited for the soundtrack and the big sets, musical numbers, the development of elphaba and glinda’s relationship and the addition of things from the book that didn’t make it into the stage version!
Supposedly the author intended all along for it to be a movie anyway?
@@robertmiller5516 He did! That's part of why the movie is split into two parts, so they can add in more from the book.
@@robertmiller5516 yk what i didn’t know that! this makes it even more special
Agree 👍 ...
It’s definitely still in 2 parts. The second part is out the end of next year!
I can’t stop being excited about the wicked movie, so many things remind me of it all the time and I start fangirling out of nowhere
The real test for this movie's success in my eyes is if they can capture the HEART of the stage show... vocals, production design and writing aside, the ACTING is what will make or break this for me. But I'm optimistic!!
yes, their chemistry is KEY!
They are breaking the story into two parts because of multiple reasons. For a start, they don't want to sacrifice any of the songs in the adaptation. Your typical Broadway show runs three hours in length, and has a breakneck pace, meaning that when you take it for adaptation to film, you usually have to cut the songs in order to get it to screen. A two parter won't have that issue. Second, they are taking more elements from the original Wicked novel. When it was brought to the stage, they cut a lot of the characters and subplots, and having more time with the movie gives them a chance to bring those story back into the narrative.
Also there’s a very good reason to break it into 2 parts. That’s called Defying Gravity. How can you not use Defying Gravity as a climax? How can the biggest song in the movie only be halfway through? Makes more sense to stop it there, and come back at Thank Goodness.
I remember reading the novel and thinking, “oh! Oh my! I’m sure that got cut from the musical, there’s nooooo way they’d include that,” for very specific scenes…
Yeah it's a long ass book and they cut so much that the second half of the musical barely makes sense. I think it will be better as 2 movies, especially if they go back to the book.
So happy that Jonathan Bailey is getting recognition! I used to watch him on Leonardo back in like 2011, so it's so cool that he's being recognised! ❤
I agree, it really is strange that it doesn't say Wicked part 1 or anything like that. It does make me think that maybe it will only be one movie now.
it 100% will be 2 movies. this teaser was for the overall franchise and im assuming we will get another teaser that focused more on the first film closer to its release. it would be a 4+ hr film otherwise. my guess is that this teaser was to get the film on peoples minds since it was shown to the millions of people watching the super bowl.
nah its still 2 and my guess is they're splitting it at Defying Gravity that's probably where it will end I feel like it kind of makes sense cause Act 2 is WAAAAAY darker especially if they're bringing more of the book in
It will not. Dune was not called Dune Part One. Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse was not called SATSV Part One. It was not called It: Chapter One until the END of the movie. This is the current trend of hiding the fact that a movie is one of two movies. Of course Wicked fans and people who follow film news know, but they're counting on most casual moviegoers not knowing.
My cousin worked in the costume department for this film. I am so excited to see it!
That's so cool! What type of work does your cousin do (in general)? If you don't mind me asking. Costuming obviously consists of a lot of people.
That sounds like an incredible job. I'm sure it's difficult but rewarding AF!
@@its-MK... She was Principal Truck Supervisor and in Matilda she was head of principal costumes, so she is looking after the costumes and delivering them to cast trailers etc. She works very long hours and the work isn't consistent, but she loves it.
@@helentait6727 That sounds really interesting. I understand why she enjoys it (although I'm sure she deserves to be paid more!)
The cinematography goes crazyyyy in this teaser 🤩
Ariana did a cover of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” on set a while ago and I feel like her vocal technique is going to be somewhere towards that style. Very classic, operatic vibes with clearer diction. It felt very Judy Garland-esque and of that time. It was so different for her, and I’m so curious to see what you think about it!
I can’t wait for Cynthia Erivo as Elpheba!!!
We've been so spoiled with the number of videos you've been putting out recently 😍
I was skeptical when they said they were splitting it into two movies, but judging from the trailer, I think they're incorporating stuff from the book that was left out of the musical. They've definitely already filmed the whole thing, so probably teasing both movies.
I get teary eyed every time I watch the trailer. I have never watched wicked and yet I feel so attached to it already.
SO GLAD YOUR BACKK I LOVE WATCHING YOU YOU’RE SO LOWKEYY🤩🫶
I'm seeing Wicked for the first time this coming Wednesday; I've listened to the songs for so long and I'm so excited to see it on stage!!
The SpongeBob slander 😂😂😂 I’m here for it because I went to high school with Arianna’s ex husband !
omg really?
Her ex husband is SpongeBob?
We missed you, Hannah!! 💕
I’m so excited! This was a perfect teaser and introduction to great things ahead on the big screen.
Hannah, thank you for your videos. I appreciate your knowledge, your humor and your smile!
So, idk what leak you watched but there is another one in which Ariana hits the "No One Mourns the Wicked" alternate ending note, which is a sustained E6 with vibrato
I screamed during the Super Bowl when this came on. SO EXCITED!!
So excited! I have seen WICKED so many times on stage and could honestly watch it over and over. Such powerful music with a powerful story to match! Cannot wait!!
Side note: did you film this pre having your hair done or have you started growing out your fringe already?? Hairdresser in me had to know, lol!
Love your videos!
yesss i have been waiting for this!!!
It looks STUNNING
The 2nd part has 2 new songs in it. 1 for Glinda called 'The girl in the bubble' and Elphaba has a song called 'Theres No Place Like Home' You're Welcome 😁
Happy Valentine’s Day Hannah 🩷🩷🩷
I have those same glasses but in gold. I was excited when I saw those in the trailer!
It looks magical I honestly can’t wait
Oh my gosh i was also worried about Ariana as glinda but i do think that she will be good!
you’ve been feeding us so good this past week!!!
I could be wrong, but what I've heard from the grapevine in regards to the reasoning for the 2-parter (which is still happening) is because the creatives felt they couldn't continue the story in a smooth way after Defying Gravity, which I somewhat agree with. DG marks an end to one of Elphaba's character arcs and, after the intermission, there's a big timeskip where the characters are going through new and old struggles based on the events of Defying Gravity. It doesn't help that past musical movies have failed to bridge the gap between the first and second acts.
As for how I feel about the movie, as a long time HUGE Wicked fan, I am definitely cautiously optimistic. There's some cool elements (at the very least its got great aesthetics and color), but I need a lot more than a trailer to convince me that this cast is gonna work. I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt Cynthia looked a little too old to be playing what's supposed to be a college-aged Elphaba (though I'm sure she's gonna be amazing), and I'm glad that I'm not alone in regards to the skepticism of Grande's casting. Will she sound good? Yeah, definitely! She's a talented singer! But outside of her few broadway credits and staring in a Nickelodeon show (both when she was a lot younger than she is now), I worry she might not have the acting experience to display the nuance of Glinda's character. Glinda makes a fair amount of choices in the play that, if not played right, can come off as super shallow and unsympathetic. She's supposed to be someone you recognize to be as flawed but also, in some ways, sympatheize and root for her because you know she's capable of MAKING good choices. So fingers crossed. I do hope it's good, but it's hard to feel excited when the past few musical movie adaptations haven't been very good. I worry I'll be disappointed if I raise my hopes too high.
It looks spectacular. Cynthia is gonna kill it and I have a feeling I’m gonna be crying through the whole hing 😂
I'm excited about this, though after hearing Ariana slay The Wizard and I at that Wicked celebration a few years ago (I think you reacted to it) I was kind of expecting her to be Elphaba when first announced. I'm hoping by having 2 parts there will be a lot more included from the book! Can't wait, keeping my expectations low so I won't be disappointed!
Your reactions are literally my reactions! I am sooooo beyond excited for this! 🩷💚
I'm seeing the musical in April! Soooo excited!
As far as I know from what I've heard and read on the internet, there are gonna be some changes in the movie to the show because they will try to be a little more book acurate by taking a few book characters and incorporating them. So there could be a few changes surrounding this but I hope they won't be too big as the show is 99% perfect as it is (the 1% in my eye is that they are obviously gay, but many people are not ready for that conversation)
i know that two parts may seem annoying but i feel like it's for the better (or should i say for good sorry i couldn't help myself) because to me this means that the people creating this care so much about this story and making sure nothing gets lost because it is built so beautifully and if two parts means it will be better translated to screen then im more than okay with it because we have seen too many musicals messily put up on a screen and ended up in the dumps
I saw wicked on broadway a few years back, let me tell you it was LIFE CHANGING
I started screaming, crying, throwing up, all the things when I saw the trailer during the superbowl cause it was the first i’d heard of it
I AM SOOOO EXCITED (also hannah gets chills at everything but i swear she’s not kidding this time wicked it really that good)
What an amazing impression! Loved this!!!! I can't wait, as a musical theater nerd, Arianator, Wicked Stan, this movie is evrythinggg for me
Jeff Goldbloom makes me nervous as the wizard. Other than that…when does the soundtrack drop? Is it November yet? 😂 You should read the novel…waaay different then the musical
Hiii I love Cynthia Erivoo ❤
i am super excited!!! Wicked is my all time favorite musical and i really hope it is as good as the trailer looks.
“Change them for the better” 😂😂😂 She said it.
about ariana’s voice: i understand the fear that bc she’s a pop star she only sings a certain way but if you’ve paid attention to her over the years you would know she has an incredible vocal agility (as shown by her amazing celebrity impressions) and a role like this is not something she took lightly. she took acting and vocal lessons just for this. we know that in the past she CHOOSES to sing musical theatre in her more stylized/pop voice, but when it comes to doing it right she CAN and that’s all that matters (:
exactly that
U get it
As a fan of Ariana since the days of '13' and singing karaoke covers on her bedroom floor, I have no doubt she'll nail this role. I'm so excited that she was cast as Galinda! ❤🎉❤
I have waited so long for this to come out Hannah. I saw this on broadway in New York and my mind was blown away by the trailer. I was more excited about the trailer than the Super Bowl LOL!
God I can't wait till Thanksgiving now. I wish my mom would have lived long enough to see it too she loved how I use to tell her about it and used to love when I read her stuff out of the Grimoire book from the show. Cynthia Erivo is going to OWN THIS. I literally cried when I watched this trailer so I right with you Hannah!
As soon as I saw this I KNEW you’d react to it 😂 the way my soul left my body seeing these shots and hearing the snippets of defying gravity 😭
Because it’s a teaser it’s not gonna have part one on it yet. The main trailer for part one will probably have it in the title.
And yes, it needs 2 parts because the world of wicked is beyond the musical and it’s exciting to see more of the book come to life!
I saw Wicked on Broadway in 2006/2007 & Elphaba rising up at the end is etched into my brain forever. The whole thing is just so damn good. Also, the movie has an actual wheelchair user playing Nessarose & I cannot freaking wait to see her 😍❤️
My best friend her 6 year old watched the trailer and her jaw dropped and she looked on in amazement. I’m soooo excited!!
I was wondering when you'd do this 😍
The boat was practical and it will be in two parts.
Look, my bar for movie musical adaptations is currently very low (I mean... you just have to be better than Cats. Just better than Cats. That's all.). And Wicked is one of my favourite shows (have seen it 30 times in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Las Vegas). So I was very wary when this was announced. But Jon Chu has a good track record with adapting material... and each time I watch this teaser trailer, it grows on me a bit more. So I am cautiously optimistic. I agree that the LOOK of the movie is pretty incredible.
I read an article just the other day explaining why. They're basically merging the book and the musical, and expanding on important characters that didn't get all of the attention that they should have in the musical (i.e. Nessarose). If you've read the books as well, I promise, it makes sense why they're doing it this way. Don't give up hope; it's extra world building and character development that just didn't make the cut in the final Broadway production.
I am a hardcore Broadway Wicked fan, and I'm so excited that they're expanding it with more of the book material -- I am assuming that there will probably be extra songs that were likely cut from the original stage production due to time constraints brought back for this two-part rendition.
Nessarose deserves her moment. (Also, kudos to the casting director for casting an actress who is an actual wheelchair user! We love authenticity -- 🎶Everyone deserves a chance to SHINE!🎶)
Happy Valentine's Day young Lady! Have a great one
Honestly, I would love to see the original Broadway run with Idena Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth. I am somewhat excited about this, but I don't think it will live up to the original.
True.
I’ve watched the Super Bowl in Germany with German commercials, I wish I could have seen that during the Super Bowl
I have those same glasses in pink, so when I saw Elphaba wearing them I got SO excited 😂
I was one of those people that did not like her battle cry at the end. I saw you reviewed "I'm Here" and raved. I went to watch your video and let me say, you changed my mind about her being Elphaba. Thank you!
I hope they’re able to work in a little more of the social commentary from the book. Not too much just a little more as I don’t think the stage musical really hammers home how awful the wizard really is as much
what happened to the bangs 🥺
Wicked is the only show I have ever been able to see a production of. I saw the Broadway Across America version at the Boston Opera House when I was in seventh grade with my afterschool program and I cried like a baby. I knew most of the music because I was a huge theater nerd but it was one of the most magical moments of my childhood. I also have a lot of history with "For Good", and sang it with a friend at another friend's funeral so I sob every time I listen to it.
I can't wait for Wicked to come out. Also, I also just watched Wicked live in November. Such a good show and the movie looks amazing.
Something within me just doesn't agree with Ariana's eyebrow color... is it only me? 😅
No your not alone, they should be a little darker/ not that much bleached
*I don’t see many people saying this, so I’ll say it 😢 : I DID NOT LIKE THE RIFF AT THE END OF DEFYING GRAVITY*. It sounds like she’s struggling to hit the notes, it fell flat, and the riff takes away from the emphasis of it being a “cry” . It should be pure, sustained and direct, think Jessica Vosk’s version or even Alyssa Fox’s version (current Elphie on Bway). And did they REALLY have to give away the most epic part in the trailer? Such a spoiler!* 😢
Btw, I have seen Cynthia sing and she has a lovely warm tone. Very talented! So I’m not saying she isn’t capable of this music, what I’m saying is, as a Bway nerd, I’m really ticked at whoever gave her the instruction to riff Defying Gravity. Just no.
@@samsanchez8247 Its a battle cry, chile
Every elphaba actress on Broadway has sang it their own way. And I think this one from Cynthia is so good. It'll all make sense when you hear the full defying gravity audio
I personally agree! It threw me off. It's such a beautiful song ending, needed no riffing or adaptation. But I will survive 😂
I absolutely felt the same, and it really threw me.
I did not like it at all either. I am sure Cynthia has vocal chops (I don't know anything about her), but that part sounded incredibly rough. I was already majorly on the fence about this movie because of the casting of Ariana as Glinda, and now after hearing that riff, and hearing that the film is apparently going to be split into 2 parts... mehhhh. Probably going to give this movie (or movies) a miss and just go and see the musical on the West End again.
Literally SAME reaction!!! I'm so excited!!!🫠
I'm very excited for the movie, but I'm very concerned about Ariana Grande. Let alone the drama, I'm not sure about her acting. Her expressions aren't really here. She has a beautiful voice yes, but same as the Hairspray live, her voice was good but her acting was kinda off.
Cynthia Erivo is amazing, I understand the concern there could have been about her age, but I believe Jessica Vosk was around the same age (maybe two years younger) when she played Elphaba. And I think she's one of the best Elphaba, so age wasn't really one of my concern!
Agreed with Ariana’s acting 😭😭. Ariana’s voice is phenomenal and she can do anything with her voice. But her acting has never been great and she’s cannot emote emotions as well with her expressions and dialogue.
Cynthia I don’t know as much about but her voice sounds so amazing and her acting looks pretty good actually
matter of time to see it, if the work she put on with broadway and acting couches really paid off.
Ariana's acting was terrible in Hairspray. I hope it's improved.
The drama surrounding Ariana Grande is going to overshadow the movie. I think she's severely miscast.
I agree I don't know how i feel about that casting choice i love ari but idk she is just not giving glinda
Same
@@avamcgrath4601Yeah. I think she has it in her to be a good actor, but she isn't Glinda.
She literally just got a number 1
I mean her voice is amazing her acting tho has always been rough and idc about the drama
Oooo I'd love to hear your official review of Wicked after finally seeing it for the first time!!!
The way I screamed "WICKED!!!!" after I heard "something has changed within me." My kids were so concerned for my well-being haha.
Shouting “WICKED” is a fitting statement of excitement for this haha
I just saw the movie poster online a few weeks ago and honestly, that had me REAL nervous. But every once of nervousness or skepticism left me when I saw this. This looks. INCREDIBLE.
I was so sceptical at first because of that war cry but I listened to I'm here and I cried
I've never seen Wicked before. But I know the songs pretty well. And this trailer's got me hyped!
I cannot wait to see (and listen to obviously!) Jonathan Bailey('s) Dancing Through Life. I literally SCREAMED when I spotted him in the trailer!
right i feel like everyones talking about as long as you’re mine but dancing through life is going to end me
I have never heard of this, but this video made me excited as hell 😂
Hi hannah i love your content , I'm an aspiring theatre actress from ireland who has been in theatre since 4 any tips on how to be a stronger singer and deal with nerves ? Love your videos and would absolutely die if you reacted to the songs from hazbin hotel ❤ can't believe I'm this early , you are an absolute queen 👑love you oxoxo
Found you due to Wicked trailer, and YES we need to talk about it! We were in NYC on 2004 and had a hotel across from the sign and was right down the street from the theatre. We were on a tour and debated skipping something to get tickets and see Wicked but we didn't as we didn't know anything about it except it related to the Wizard of Oz, which I loved as a kid. We didn't get to see the musical until 2015 when in was in a theatre a city away. It was fantastic! I can't wait for the movie!
I'm all in for this. Can't wait!
Ok but “I’m Here” doesn’t have a single F5-F#5 which Elphaba uses all the time. That famous de-FYI-ing gravity is an F5. And according to her vocal profile, and I quote, this is the register where her “upper belts around her passagio can be improperly placed resulting in thin, pushed, distorted sounds between F5-F#5. Her modal mix between F5-F#5 is too chest dominant.”
Go listen to her F5s in other songs & compare them to like a Jackie Burns on the F5 in Defying Gravity. One is strained & throaty and the latter is buttery smooth & effortless. Im telling you, this is a miscast.
Also mark my words, that whiny tinny nasally resonance on those witchy notes (is-ever-gonna-bring & will i dooooooo) that Broadway Elphabas use, i guarantee Cynthia either can’t or won’t do it. And without that, it’s simply not Elphaba.
I am sooooo excited!!
