    I think the whole thing with Dillamond being an actual goat goat rather than a people goat could also be them almost tieing back more to the original Gregory Maguire novel and how there wasn't meant to be any distinguishable features between Animals and animals, except that Animals can talk, and maybe going more into that angle of things potentially

    I think that while this trailer does seem to show all the major plot beats, it’s wanting to build suspense on the music, so we got a taste and we can see where all the musical moments are, but they want to surprise us with how it actually sounds, but they really wanted to show us the world building and stylization. Honestly, I think it looks really good and I’m really excited.

      I agree, I think the musical beats we hear in the trailer serves as a fun teaser of what's to come. Fans of the stage show, the Wizard of Oz and Ozian lore in general will know that this is a musical.

    i think the trailer comes off as giving everything away to ppl really familiar with the stage show, like we know how everything slots together. i've seen a lot of ppl who aren't familiar not be able to figure out the plot.

    ALSO 8:20 she’s in a pink dress because it’s pink in the original wizard of oz!!! Glinda comes down in a pink bubble in a GIANT pink ball gown :) Silly goose :p everybody wandered/questioned why it was blue on stage in the first place

    In the earlier trailer/behind the scenes that was released they have some glimpses at dance numbers including what I believe are from “what is this feeling?” Or “dancing through life”

    Okay, so I wanna ease one of your fears hopefully.
    The whole reason the movie is split into two is because John didn't want to cut anything from the films while also adding 2 new songs.
    If you watch the passion project video they released before this it actually gives you a lot more footage of the musical performances and some clips from the trailer are actual musical scenes like the chandelier swinging and high kick are from popular. Some people have speculated that them running in the classroom is part of loathing you and bo staff fighting is either popular or loathing you as well.
    As far as the pink dress it is to match the MGM version more as you know. but there's an actual blue dress she wears seen in the leaks for this movie which I'm gonna assume is in part 2 or even later in part 1.
    I also disagree that they gave everything cuz they didn't especially since they're adding more elements from the book as well. Add that and the passion project clips I know they didn't show us everything they just needed everyone to know what a part of the main storyline is about.
    I hope this helped and I hope you watch and react to the passion project video!

    • @EllieTalksTheatre
      @EllieTalksTheatre  Місяць тому

      I'll definitely take a look at the behind the scenes video (probably in my own time though)
      I think that cutting things can be equally as important as adding sometimes though. Obviously, I trust Jon as he has a proven track record thanks to his fantastic work on In The Heights but I think it'll always worry me a bit until I see how they approach it.

    So this trailer dropped when I was ironically at work in a theatre and I've just been through this with you. It looks like they've brought a decent adaptation judging by this. Lots of potential to do great things and surprises. Design wise its looking great. We've waited so long for this and now is the time to start getting excited.

    Ellie, Im not a WICKED fan, but I thought Id help you out, you said at 17:37 "Marilyn Morrible, who''s actress I need to look up actually, because I have forgot her name, it's Michelle but I can't remember her surname" the part wrong in this sentence is Marilyn, her name is Madame Morrible, not Marilyn Morrible, the name that sounds close to that is Marilyn Monroe, it's ok, easy mistake, I made that mistake too when I was younger, Ilysm Ellie!! #ChaoticTheatreGangForLife ✌✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧

    Might be my weird brain but my take on all the broken glass was a metaphore for smashing the glass ceiling. I know they're windows not a ceiling but trying to overcome barriers and low expectations of her is definitely an Elphaba thing, so that was why I thought it was so emphasised in the trailer but who knows 😂

    I'm pumped for this film, I am definitely getting tickets for opening night. I am very intrigued to see what they give to Michelle Yeoh for Madam Morrible; a far more compelling villain in the novel. As bad as the Wizard is, Madam Morrible is the real puppet master of Oz, and I really want to feel her malignancy in the film.

    They are not trying to downplay its musical component, to be honest I don't get where you got that from....it is a trailer - in musical movies of time gone by you have never got a full length song because as said trailers give you snippets just like this is.

    • @EllieTalksTheatre
      @EllieTalksTheatre  Місяць тому

      It's more so the lack of showing the actual footage from musical numbers. We only really see hints of Popular in this one.
      Obviously we're not going to get a full song in the trailer, that's ridiculous and very clearly not what I'm asking for however it has been a real trend that musical films have been trying to hide their musicality. This is not the worst for it as we do get the hints of Popular and Defying Gravity that make up for it - and typically it's just marketing teams and doesn't have much effect on the actual film so it isn't the end of the world.
      I wonder if they'll show or tease more if we do get another trailer.

      @@EllieTalksTheatre Well as you say we do get hints it is a strong possibility they are just holding back that more longer sequence of a routine for a final trailer e.g. probably most of what this was, but then that tiny added new bit. Or even as a final promo piece shown at some event as get nearer to Thanksgiving. Can't see it being a final trailer heavy with new stuff as this one was certainly filled but it packed a punch and far as trailer goes was perfect no way you can see that and not want to go see it. Its huge assets alone are its stellar cast Ariana Grande alone in a musical would pull in its own legion so this has so many advantages going for it either way.

      Because Act 2 is the second film. We won't see footage from that for a good while. Because of that fact, this trailer walks us through the plot of the entire first film.
