Hi, before you comment that we shouldn't have paused the trailer so much, please understand that we have to in order to avoid this video getting copyright claimed! We understand that it chops up the trailer, but that's intentional! And we get too excited to share our thoughts :) But thank you for the love on this video and keep sharing your thoughts on the trailer in the comments! - Sam
nahh they didn't copyright shit. if they really want to copyright claimed, just by showing a glimps of the trailer should make them have the ability to do it. watch the whole thing and share your thoughts later.
"He's bipedal on Broadway, but he's on four legs here...Interesting choice. But that's how goats work, so...that makes sense." 😅 Ryan said that without irony, a smirk, or any reaction from Sam. Hilarious 😂
Your headphones are fabulous, no matter what Ryan says! PS. Why complain about you guys pausing too much, when this is a reaction video and the entire trailer is out there to watch without any pauses or comments? Just saying.
@@christophromano why would she lie about that lmfao, and they didnt copyright shit because they were careful lmfao ppl did get copyrighted on yt, just look it up. just watch another video if u didnt like it.
I will never understand why someone would comment with that. It's a reaction, so it's expected that you would pause and give your comments throughout. If people want to watch it uninterrupted, they should just watch the trailer lol.
I respect how Chu has managed to pay tribute to the show, the book, the original book and the original film. There’s pieces of all four and they all seem to go together.
Wait… I read the book by Gregory Maguire in 2005 and I’m rereading it again now. What is “the book” vs “the original book”?? There are two books? Not including sequels? Edit: Hold on. I’m an idiot. The book is Wicked and the original book is the series by L. Frank Baum, right?
Yeah John Chu already said that Defying Gravity was one of the main reasons they decided to split it into two movies. It was very hard for them to directly follow that song up with the rest of the story without some sort of break.
I have a feeling the marketing is similar to how they marketed the Dune movies with Timothee Chalamet, because the first was marketed as just “Dune” but the second “Dune Part 2”
That is exactly what they’re doing. Because putting a ‘part one’ in will detract some people who don’t know it’s a musical in two parts from seeing the first movie.
I would be so happy if they do that! it being in parts would be amazing and also make sense since it is a movie based on the wicked musical that has acts like all musicals do.
If I may…it doesn’t merely “look” so good. It PLAYS. It FEELS. It (as Ryan sez) GIVES. Like the BARBIE teaser and trailer, there’s much that’s deeper than just looks in this project and that’s why I’m so appreciative of Universal and Jon Chu.
there’s a popular theory that part 1 will actually start with the fab 4 getting their mission to melt the witch and we’re gonna see the hat on the floor with the steam and that’s how we’re gonna go into nomtw (i doubt they’ll show the actual bucket of water being thrown, but just a glimpse)
To me this could be the first Movie Musical to either Hit 1B or Come pretty close. This will be the Highest Grossing Movie Musical of all time. It will be Nominated for 10-13 Oscars. I'm calling it now.
I’m sure it will make a ton of money, but aside from production design, hair and makeup and a few other technical awards it’s not going to be nominated in any of the big Oscar categories.
@@MorningStarScorpiowhy do you say that? I believe CYNTHIA is coming for that Oscar. She has Tonys. Emmys. Grammys. This could make her an EGOT. So just STOP with the negativity. Those among us who are STOKED don’t need this BS on this thread. Please. Please. Stop.
And maybe add some positivity to movie musicals again. Lately, people have talked smack about movie musicals and production tried to hide it at first. I feel this and Speilbirg’s West Side Story brought respect to them again.
The money thing, yeah, maybe. But oscar? It’s not that I don’t think the movie will be good, but you just have to know what the oscar voting body favor and it is not movies like wicked.
I feel like Ariana Grande being in a movie musical is not as concerning to me as other pop stars being in movie musicals. I feel that because 1) she has a history with musical theatre and a long standing love of it, 2) she was an actor before she was a pop star. Taylor Swift in Cats immediately made me not confident in the movie because as far as I know she doesn’t have a background in musicals and theatre. But Ariana does. Not to say Taylor Swift is what made cats horrible by any means cause there were a lot of things wrong with that. But this in clearly just made and acted by people who understand and have an appreciation of theatre.
Ariana Grande is also a Wicked Fan since she was a child. And it was her dream role. In a childhood video you can see a wicked poster in her childhood house bedroom.
The opening reference absolutely works! Long before 2012 I knew a movie was inevitable, and I'm so excited it's finally almost here! Great insights on Elphaba's realization about the Wizard and the effigy burning. I'm happy they're using the movie-style bubble, too - I never thought the mechanical bubble of the stage show was meant to be literal (though I could be wrong). And Cynthia and Ariana's harmony on "With you and I defying gravity" keeps giving me the shivers!
I'm so excited but it's sad for me. My friend who was obsessed with Wicked and introduced me to it died in Feb right before her 36th bday from a heart attack. I will definitely see it in theaters in her memory.
Re: "Trailer Popular" vs "Real Popular" - I think the vocals sound excellent, and very reminiscent of Kristen; it's just murked up by trailer-score backgrounds vs the actual orchestration that we'll get to hear (and which may not have even been completed yet). It gives off a similar vibe to movies like the Star Wars sequels which, instead of using old scores from the OT like the prequels did, gave us this weird "trailer-style" rendition of themes that would never be heard in the movie. I think they're being generous in teasing with the vocal tracks, but even those could have been recorded specifically for trailer purposes. I don't think we'll truly know what anyone sounds like until November, BUT I think we have evidence that Ariana and Cynthia will sound fantastic, and the rest of the cast seems fine as well (Jeff Goldblum as the sleezy cornfed hick wizard? Yeah, checks out.)
To me, the musical numbers in the trailer are like they're giving a sample taste of what's to come if you see it Like if you see an TV ad showing clips from a musical to advertise the show, sometimes what they show without giving it all away can make the audience want to come and see what they can expect and more That's how I felt when I first saw a trailer for Wicked the musical when it was coming to where I was living and the moment I watched it, I was hooked into seeing because it looked and sounded so interesting and amazing that I wanted to see it for myself And let me tell you, this trailer here is like reliving that first time I saw the musical trailer for the show that got to see and fall in love with the show even now
Ryan is correct on all fronts regarding this film, it ain't broke, lets not try and "fix" anything. Die hard fans know there will be a lot pulled from the book, but for the love of all thats holy, please let "Ari kill this. When I fist saw Ari waving around her want At Elphaba, all I heard was Kristen's voice saying, "ball gown!" And Ari started with broadway as a child, so I was nervous yet excited for this role. She so far is giving me Glinda and not Ari, which is good. Also, Ryan is STUNNING.
I read the book and listened to the music but was never able to see the Broadway play. I been eagerly waiting for someone to do a movie for over 20 years now. I cried when i saw the trailer a couple days ago. I had no idea they were making a movie, i thought they forgot about it. I'm so excited for this! It looks like they chose a great director plus actors who can dance and sing. :)
I saw the one where Katie Rose Clarke was G(a)linda and listened to the soundtrack and loved it even more. Then I got the book and I still have yet to finish it.
The moment that brought tears to my eyes was the look on Cynthia’s face when they embraced. There was such a story there of someone who is starved for friendship and affection.
At its core, what it’s giving, IS L. Frank Baum! He was a lot more politically minded than I think people realize. Sometimes for the good, other times, not so much…, but I think the Wicked series novels, and in turn the musical, and now these films will definitely bring to the forefront!!
As someone who has seen wicked when it comes to our country every time, it's such a special musical and your inputs are so accurate and appreciated. I think this is going to honor the theatre show and stick almost word for word and that makes my heart so happy. Brilliant analysis and reaction.
100% convinced that was Kristen Chenoweth at the beginning - happy to be proven wrong but just sounds so much like her. Also if they haven't asked Idina Menzel to be Elphaba's mother in the flashbacks then they've missed a trick. Also the news from Stephen Schwartz that there are four new songs in the film - 3 brand new and one that was cut from the show.
I'm sure it's ariana. I mean she has very good impression skills. I'm sure she is just taking inspiration from Kristen Chenoweth's Glinda as ariana even got to meet the actor who played glinda when she was young.
at the end when you said "something's coming", i immediately went to "something bad ... happening at the stage door. EXCEPT AINT NO WAY THIS WILL BE BAD. more like something good!
I've never clicked on a video so fast. I really need to somehow see the play, but I have never been more excited for a movie premiere. I was hesitant about Arianna playing Galinda, but seeing the trailer and the "passion project" video my opinion is changing.
Showing Elphaba as a child makes a lot of sense because as you guys mentioned, Jon Chu is unifyng every realm of the story, and mini Elphaba is in the book. I was actually really hoping they would include some of her childhood from the book because it is very interesting.
Hearing you talk about the political nature of the story in Wicked makes me remember the time in a comment section about a Broadway Show (maybe Hamilton?) Talked about how they wished Broadway would get back to being non-political and used Wicked as an example of a non-political show and I was like What???? I am so in love with this trailer - I think I’m going to cry throughout this whole movie.
I've read most of the book and quite a few of the chapters deal with Elphaba's childhood so I'm glad they added it. I have seen the musical live (for a birthday present) and I've seen it on UA-cam so much that I've memorized it. The trailer made me so happy. I was impressed.
@The Stage Door Thank You for clocking Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard! Out of all the reactions I've seen to this trailer, you are the only ones to notice him and comment on him! I didn't know anything about this movie going into the trailer; didn't even know it was happening. When I saw Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard, my jaw dropped. I was like, "Well of course! He's the perfect Wizard!" Jeff Goldblum has made a career out of playing charlatans and eccentrics on the big screen. And now he's been cast as the Ultimate Eccentric Charlatan! Full Disclosure: I haven't seen Wicked on stage. I may have to before I go see this movie. I am familiar with the songs, though. I mean, who doesn't know "Defying Gravity"? I am, also, of course, familiar with "The Wizard of Oz." (again, who isn't?) I have a feeling this movie is going to be nominated for many awards. They may wait until Part 2 releases before nominating it. Whichever year they get nominated, I predict they're going to win all the awards they're nominated for.
I love both his and Michelle Yeoh's "understated" presence in these scenes. They are definitely choosing not to play these as over the top, cartoonlike villains and it works really wonderfully.
@@happyclam1266 I didn't even realize that was Michelle Yeoh until one of the reactors mentioned it. I was like, "WHAT?!" If this movie ends up actually being good, this could, very well, be the performance of her career.
As soon as I watched this I was excited to see your reactions 🥲 the DP for this movie also did in the heights and tick tick boom! So she is ABSOLUTELY the person to do this movie and you can see it in the visuals 💚💗
Hahaha! You would have made a great film Fiyero, Ryan. But movie producers/directors often default to "bankable" film stars that audiences know, so that people not familiar with the movie, will go because that star is in it, so they can make back their $$. I'm SO stoked! The casting was genius. And finally we have a black Elphaba. Finally. Given the themes, it should have happened before. And I'm also so excited about them not shying away from the political aspect of it, because it is SO important in these times. Even more than it was when Wicked was written. Counting the days. Thanks for this, you two!
The movie is supposed to include more from the book, so hoping the shots of young Elphaba will be scenes from the book. Also, I have heard the first movie will be called Wicked and the second movie will be called Wicked: For Good
From what i understand - Ariana closely studied Kristen as Glinda to make it as authentic as possible in her portrayal of the character! Its amazing how much she actually sounds like her
Your Wicked content is some of my favorite & I remember thinking a while back Ryan would be such a great Fiyera for the movie. Oh, well. And Sam, love your Glinda tiara & enthusiasm.
I’m sure Jonathan will do great, I’ve not watched anything he’s done but everyone seems to love him. But now KNOWING that Ryan auditioned, it hurts even more because he’s always been Fiyero in my dream cast list for the Wicked movie. That said, I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a movie, now having seen the trailer as I’ve been somewhat nervous since the news broke of Ariana’s casting. I’m still not 100% convinced on her vocals in this trailer but her acting choices and line delivery in this trailer have completely swayed me. Mostly, I just can’t get over how absolutely stunning this looks visually. And when Defying Gravity came in with those slow piano notes, I genuinely got goosebumps. Besides my Eras Tour show next month, this movie is going to be the best thing about 2024 for me.
Seeing the movie adaptation was coming out, I wasn’t hopeful, but the trailer alone gave me chills, so I know the movie will give me full body goosebumps
I've already watched the movie and is INSAAAAAAAAAAAAANE. I was busting out crying in the theatre and I stayed in my seat after the movie, trying to process everything I saw. Siento que todos los theatre kids no pararemos de hablar de esta película, los siguientes meses.
I’ve been waiting for this film since 2003. Wicked was the first musical I saw live and made me fall in love with musicals. I cannot wait! This better be good…
My goodness! What the heck? I feel that I’m seeing the whole first Wicked movie. It’s not always in chronological order, but still. Whatever I saw of this trailer, the movie looks fantastic!
YALL WAKE UP THEY’VE POSTED :D Story time :p I was on a school camp just a day ago, I had finished one of the activities and a teacher from the other group who was doing an activity next to mine called me over so I come over and she showed me the wicked trailer on her phone🤩
I think defying gravity will sound like this first riff, I think she will do that instead of “it’s not her” or after the big riff there will be a line form someone else and then as she flies off that will be the riff
its smart marketing to not reveal that its a part 1. people who dont know anything about the film dont want to go in knowing that they wont have a clear ending and that they have to commit themselves to waiting another year to get the real ending

Yes. And was exactly what I am hoping for.

Edit: Hold on. I’m an idiot. The book is Wicked and the original book is the series by L. Frank Baum, right?
@@rhigan7622 yes
Reading the Wicked book in preparation. The original Wizard of Oz was one of my first books.
I am SO excited.
If this movie ends with defying gravity in the same way the show ends act one, I will lose my tiny little mind
From the looks of it, it will
Yeah John Chu already said that Defying Gravity was one of the main reasons they decided to split it into two movies. It was very hard for them to directly follow that song up with the rest of the story without some sort of break.
I think u will lose ur mind
In an interview he said it will
It did and it was so magical
The scoring of “No One Mourns The Wicked” and “Defying Gravity” gave me chills!
Wouldn’t it be wild if Cynthia and Ariana did a 4 week stint in Wicked! That box office would be shut down 😅
honestly i see it lol they've kinda been teasing going on broadway together, imagine if it's actually wicked
The box office would die and never recover
I have a feeling the marketing is similar to how they marketed the Dune movies with Timothee Chalamet, because the first was marketed as just “Dune” but the second “Dune Part 2”
good point!!

sam’s in her element i love this 😭😭
Three days before the trailer they released “passion project”
And they showed more of the musical numbers.
Sol?! Qué haces aquí?!?!
If I may…it doesn’t merely “look” so good. It PLAYS. It FEELS. It (as Ryan sez) GIVES. Like the BARBIE teaser and trailer, there’s much that’s deeper than just looks in this project and that’s why I’m so appreciative of Universal and Jon Chu.
Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if a brief glimpse of Dorothy was the last thing the first movie ends on.
there’s a popular theory that part 1 will actually start with the fab 4 getting their mission to melt the witch and we’re gonna see the hat on the floor with the steam and that’s how we’re gonna go into nomtw (i doubt they’ll show the actual bucket of water being thrown, but just a glimpse)

Really? Did she spill any tea about what the scenes are
Couldn't seem to stop focusing on the fact that I see ACOTAR and Fourth Wing behind Sam 😅

they lost once with mean girls and then won times 1000 (hopefully) with wicked

As soon as I watched this I was excited to see your reactions 🥲 the DP for this movie also did in the heights and tick tick boom! So she is ABSOLUTELY the person to do this movie and you can see it in the visuals 💚💗
It’s giving everything I wanted and never got from the School for Good and Evil Movie. I’m so excited for this.
i was wondering if we’d get a trailer reaction today! thanks guys!!
yes its two parts! i think the general idea is that part 2 will pick up after defying gravity like the musical!
Hahaha! You would have made a great film Fiyero, Ryan. But movie producers/directors often default to "bankable" film stars that audiences know, so that people not familiar with the movie, will go because that star is in it, so they can make back their $$.
I'm SO stoked! The casting was genius. And finally we have a black Elphaba. Finally. Given the themes, it should have happened before. And I'm also so excited about them not shying away from the political aspect of it, because it is SO important in these times. Even more than it was when Wicked was written.
Counting the days. Thanks for this, you two!
The movie is supposed to include more from the book, so hoping the shots of young Elphaba will be scenes from the book. Also, I have heard the first movie will be called Wicked and the second movie will be called Wicked: For Good
From what i understand - Ariana closely studied Kristen as Glinda to make it as authentic as possible in her portrayal of the character! Its amazing how much she actually sounds like her
This is the reaction video I was waiting for 😊
Your Wicked content is some of my favorite & I remember thinking a while back Ryan would be such a great Fiyera for the movie. Oh, well. And Sam, love your Glinda tiara & enthusiasm.
I want to see Ryan get that breakout star turn. He just needs one for major box office draw and then he will get all the roles.
I loved the trailer, it looks amazing!
Aww Sam has her own Glinda crown💚
So excited for November so we can watch this masterpiece!
I hope this is amazing. I have been waiting for this since 2006 when I first saw Wicked on stage!🤞
yay mom and dad!! been waiting for this 🙌
My hunch is they're following the naming conventions of the recent DUNE movies. The first one was simply DUNE, the second was DUNE: PART TWO.
Love the trailer!! Looks like Universal, the director and the entire cast have a BIG HIT on their hands!! And I have to say...Ryan is really CUTE!!!
I actually REALLY appreciated the pauses. I love having a breakdown of thoughts instead of missing something!!
Ryan is the most talented and handsome man I’ve ever seen
i am so excited for this movie omg!!!!
I’m sure Jonathan will do great, I’ve not watched anything he’s done but everyone seems to love him. But now KNOWING that Ryan auditioned, it hurts even more because he’s always been Fiyero in my dream cast list for the Wicked movie. That said, I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a movie, now having seen the trailer as I’ve been somewhat nervous since the news broke of Ariana’s casting. I’m still not 100% convinced on her vocals in this trailer but her acting choices and line delivery in this trailer have completely swayed me. Mostly, I just can’t get over how absolutely stunning this looks visually. And when Defying Gravity came in with those slow piano notes, I genuinely got goosebumps. Besides my Eras Tour show next month, this movie is going to be the best thing about 2024 for me.
Me just realizing that this is Ryan, my JD and favorite Fiyero😂
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!
i’ve been waiting for this since the trailer dropped omg
Seeing the movie adaptation was coming out, I wasn’t hopeful, but the trailer alone gave me chills, so I know the movie will give me full body goosebumps
I read the book and saw the musical twice i am not ready for how amazing this movie will be.
This trailer gives me chills every time!!!! I’m so excited!!!!
Great Reaction Ryan and Sam I’m Super Excited For November 💚🩷💚😁😁
I've already watched the movie and is INSAAAAAAAAAAAAANE. I was busting out crying in the theatre and I stayed in my seat after the movie, trying to process everything I saw. Siento que todos los theatre kids no pararemos de hablar de esta película, los siguientes meses.
I’ve been waiting for this film since 2003. Wicked was the first musical I saw live and made me fall in love with musicals. I cannot wait! This better be good…
My goodness! What the heck? I feel that I’m seeing the whole first Wicked movie. It’s not always in chronological order, but still. Whatever I saw of this trailer, the movie looks fantastic!
jonathan bailey as fiyero just MAKES SENSE. he can sing and he's hot. i can't waittt to see his performance
YALL WAKE UP THEY’VE POSTED :D
Story time :p
I was on a school camp just a day ago, I had finished one of the activities and a teacher from the other group who was doing an activity next to mine called me over so I come over and she showed me the wicked trailer on her phone🤩
you guys are adorable ...great to see such passion for the source material :) Subbed
I’ll be seeing this movie in theatres at least 10 times.
I think defying gravity will sound like this first riff, I think she will do that instead of “it’s not her” or after the big riff there will be a line form someone else and then as she flies off that will be the riff
It was so much fun to see Ryan at the state thespian conference here in Ohio! I love your guy's videos so much!!! Keep up the good work :)
I think it will start with Dorothy from the teaser, we'll see elphaba melt, and then have it go right into "She's Dead" from No one Mourns The Wicked.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
My prediction is that Wicked Part II will be a new Wizard of Oz, with a new Dorothy to sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Im so freaking excited
I can’t wait to see the show in New York
The movie trailer looks so amazing
Also i want to note, i don't normally watch trailers for anything, but i had to watch your reaction 💚
I was waiting for you two to react to this. I am so excited to see this movie.
All I can say is… “SAME”! Loved this thanks.
I’m so so ready for this movie!!! I couldn’t be happier!!💚💚
AHHH IM SO EARLY!!! I love you guys so much!!!
its smart marketing to not reveal that its a part 1. people who dont know anything about the film dont want to go in knowing that they wont have a clear ending and that they have to commit themselves to waiting another year to get the real ending
Mom and dad!!!
I'm so freaking excited, Wicked is such a big part of my life...
I’m so excited for this movie, I’ve literally never seen wicked on broadway but im literally going to hunt it down now and watch it cuz OH MY GOSH
One of my closer high school friends is Nessa Rose and I couldn’t be more excited for this to come out!
