They don't give Fiyero a happy ending. Fiyero isn't even in the musical, it is just Avaric with Fiyero's name, and the name alone is the only resemblance of Fiyero.
Parents need to note!!!! Book is not child appropriate. Make sure your child is old enough to understand adult themes. I loved the book and read it before seeing the musical.
Just from the tidbits ive seen of the musical, i hate how they changed Nessa's disability, fiyero's race, and they gave the guy that had a major crush on Galinda in the book a COMPLETELY different story. I was very disappointed
When watching any movie VS the book, do not expect the movie to do justice, most of the time the movie will fall short. With no expetitions you will not be disappointed.
@rubygivens7670 i normally reign in my expectations but if you read the book you would see its almost a completely different version. Hell, the ending isnt even the same
Seen Wicked once on Broadway and twice with traveling cast, and I've never felt truly satisfied walking out of the theatre. I really miss the political and expanded story that the book presented.
I’ve only read the book, but it broke my heart. Still all these years later. It is like a woman that puts everything on the line to stand up to a machine of war… up to those final moments when the machine heartlessly crushes her under its treads… i just… i can’t bring myself to watch a lighthearted pastel-colored version of that…
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I agree that Wicked could have explored the book's deeper themes and complex philosophy, much like Les Misérables did with its source material. The musical took a lighter, more accessible approach, focusing more on friendship and redemption than the political and social commentary found in the book. It's an interesting idea to imagine how Wicked might have resonated differently if it leaned into those heavier themes. What elements from Les Mis do you think would have translated well into Wicked?
Barely talked about the differences, and you think a deep dive is 15 mins. Well, thanks for posting this, now I know not to watch anything else from this channel!
is the first 8 mins you repeat the Same thing over and over.. I turned it off. I actualky wanted to know what was different beyond ones a musical and there's a book and it was streamlined. And the guy was not necessary he was annoying.
The musical is the better way to learn from the story. The book is just absolutely horrible. It's not enjoyable enough to be entertainment and not intelligent enough to be 1984. It's not worth it.
The book helped me A LOT. I read it before my daughter was born without arms... really phocomelia with shoulder fingers. Nessarose was pretty comforting as a character that my girl is not fragile, helpless or strange. Getting magic shoes to help her with independence, described as beautiful hiding her missing limbs under the shawl, and very big in her faith. I have never met or seen an armless person in my life but reading about one before I had my own helped to lessen my fear. Then the more I learned about armless people... I became even more proud of my girl as being adaptive and motivated.
"A way better way to learn from the story"... What?? There is very little to learn from the musical compared to the original story; it is simply a friendship story with almost nothing to say about the complexities of life that create the relationships and outcomes that arise...
@@squidmcg does it take game of thrones level crudeness for you to learn anything? There is plenty to learn from the musical. They made it gentler, but anyone that can read between the lines can learn from it.
@@strsocerplaya9 No, crudeness has nothing to do with learning a truly rounded take on reality. Many (actually I'd say most), do not "read between the lines" because they have no concept of things outside of their own personal experience. If you got all you wanted from the musical, great! But to say you can learn more by learning less is disingenuous at best.

This is clearly AI
im trying to figure out if it was at first.. but it clearly is. geez this channel is trying hard.
Wait for real? Are the voices AI?
@@kayleeblisschannel that, or real bad hosts. If you close pay attention, the conversation is very circular… they keep repeating the same thing.
Right…right

Wow, AI can vocal fry now!!!

As a compromise, please look into the pop up book that follows the musical. It will be more familiar to your kids.

I love the musical but I personally think that it could have been closer the philosophy of the book if it was similar to Le Mis

I hate ai podcasts, don’t you have friends?
The musical is ass
