I worked in the film industry for 35 years before I retired. Towards the end, I had become so jaded about film because I felt like filmmakers had become focused on profits and were no longer passionate about storytelling. Wicked has brought back that love and awe I had for film when my career first started. This is that magic, that escape, that emotion. I’ll treasure this film forever.
@@Dennhunt1 While I have never worked in the industry, I have been watching films for probably 70 of my 75 years. I feel the same way about this film. It’s restored my faith. Film, movies, moving pictures has been my safe place to go escape an often challenging world for a long time and then it became the embodiment of greed. The care and thoughtfulness that went into absolutely EVERYTHING in this film is, in itself, magical. I have seen it 8 times already and it will become a part of my film library.
I also worked in the industry as a makeup artist and I have felt that way. But this movie is so beautiful. I have been the ugly duck or misunderstood. This movie makes me love me❤❤❤❤
Just beautiful 💚💖🖤 I tear up at least once with every video, interview, clip that I see. This production feels as close to perfection as possible. And I feel like I can barely wait almost a year for part two! I’m actually a newer fan. My mom has loved it from the start. Going to see the movie was our Christmas gift to each other 🥰🤩
This movie was a perfect storm of good source material, talented people who were passionate about it, and a studio making everything they needed to happen, happen. I expected this movie to be a disaster, but it turned out to be one of the best movies I've seen in years. This is what people go to a theater to see.
The way I actually gasped a loud „NO!!!“ when they shows the big wizard head. Never in a million years would I have thought that they built an actual working prop that huge. Oh my god. I’m in love.
I saw Lena, Cynthia's girlfriend, standing behind Jon when he said, "That's a wrap." I felt a certain way about it as well, the wrap bit! Now, I understand why Cynthia and Arianna cry so often. This film will be a part of film history.
Everyone’s always talking about Ariana and Cynthia’s friendship (which I also love), but it seems Ariana and Johnathan have a pretty cute friendship as well. Their interaction at 8:23 is adorable!
It was a surprise to me too! I’m not sure if Idina and Kristen are going to be in Part 2, but I have heard that some other “former Glindas and Elphabas” will be. I’ve heard Louise Dearman (first actress to play both Glinda and Elphaba), Helen Dallimore (first Glinda on West End), and Kerry Ellis (technically the second Elphaba on the West End because Idina actually played the role in the UK for a bit when it opened; she’s also the only actress, besides Idina, to have performed as Elphaba both in the US/Broadway and UK/West End). I hope they include at least a few more of the really iconic Broadway actresses; like, I’d love to see Shoshana Bean, Stephie J. Block, Megan Hilty, and Brittany Johnson (the first two played Elphaba, and the last two played Glinda). I even think some cameo from actors who played other roles would be cool to see. For example, I’d love to see cameos of some of the “former Fiyero” like the OG Broadway actor, Norbert Leo Butz, or some of the more notable replacements like Aaron Tveit, Taye Diggs, Ryan McCartan, etc.; or cameos from Christopher Fitzgerald and/or Alex Brightman for Boq!
Someone made a cool theory or thought that the post credit would involve both the og’s receiving a script titled wicked . Implying galinda knows deep down and wanting to spread the true story of the wicked witch through song. I honestly think it’d be a perfect medium to those that hoped galinda knew she was still alive and also keeping it low key to not ruin the tragedy
i’m genuinely so impressed with the makeup department bc the green skin on cynthia genuinely feels real like if i had never seen her before and you told me she was born with that green skin i wouldn’t doubt it
So cool that they got the writers to appear in the movie too. This was a wonderful movie, 10/10 for me. Cynthia and Ariana were truly perfect casting. Very talented women.
I love that Ariana and Cynthia both have their dogs with them during makeup. Just so sweet, almost like Toto is there in spirit through their own dogs. 🩷💚
I've never seen a Broadway show, knew nothing about this movie other than it was a Wizard of Oz prequel and even that I wasn't sure of. Saw this movie with some of my family a few days ago and was immediately drawn in and was blown away by the end. It was FANTASTIC! Great story, wonderful music, perfect cast! I'm now a big, new fan!!! Absolutely LOVED IT!!!! Can't wait for part 2 (which I know nothing about story wise)!
As a longtime "Wicked" fan, I'm so happy you enjoyed this amazing movie adaptation of one of the best musicals on Broadway and that this movie has been able to bring in so many new fans to it. I can't wait for next year when you can see all the surprises in Part 2. However I would be careful online to avoid spoilers for Act 2 of the musical if you want to see Part 2 the movie completely blind
I always liked Jon m. Chu but never thought he would ever make a film like this, not that I had doubts or anything, I was just a big fan of step up and just thought that would be his thing like forever lol he has totally slapped me in the face with this cuz this movie is so damn good!!!!
7:13 I have no idea how I thought they filmed this scene but a guy in blue spinning Cynthia around while she’s on this funky contraption in the air was not my first guess lol!
I'm so in love with Glinda 💝 Ari did such a great job with that character ✨👑🩷 I can't stop watching and crying again and again with the emotional scenes 🪄 It's just like magic, Cynthia, Ari and Jonathan were just perfect 💝
The work they put into this movie shows. It feels so real! Amazing quality work. I love the musical and I was blown away by the movie. It was incredible and I can’t wait for the second part!!
Amazing thank you so much! Can it be imagined what it must be like to live a life at this level of beauty, talent, clarity of purpose, artistic execution and fulfillment - this level of focus, discipline and collaboration...not only having great talent but the talent for having that talent - knowing how to use it...how to direct it, and the ability to attract the right people/collaborators/mentors into your life to support you in the realization of and fulfillment of your artistic dreams not just for yourself, but for a larger good. Just Wow! I hope I can be at this level in some lifetime. They are so inspiring! 💖🥰💖
Oh wow! The co-writers are in the movie, too! How special! How spectacular! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 This is very emotional because they put so much passion and thought into EVERYTHING...every single detail! Wow😊
I am really happy with this newer generation of legacy famous people. No one is really a jerk anymore. Everyone looks like they're having a lot of fun and understands they are where they are and how lucky they are
Love this!! In Ariana’s interviews I love that we kinda got to hear her real voice. I know she speaks in a higher placement to preserve her voice but it’s nice when we get to hear her
I saw this movie in theaters and I absolutely loved it. This is a masterpiece and I bought it on prime video and I’ve watched it at least five times and I’m probably gonna watch it over and over this movie is a master piece. The whole cast is brilliant. This movie deserves Oscars.
Cintha's work is impressive in all aspects, that together with Ariana's support and involvement makes this film brilliant. Great job by the entire team.
TO THE STAGE! This pop career hasn't shown her talents near enough. She's said her next dream roll would be Guinevere in a movie adaptation of Spamalot. Could you imagine??
Wow glad to See Everyone get a part in Wicked & I may never see the Movie, I'm grateful for You Tube so I can see bits of the movie I want to See, it's made me want to get lost in the Original cast recording CD out again, once I can find it. Thank you it's BRILLIANT
I was blown away by this film. it was exactly how I had imagined it, this is how remakes should be. other remakes pale in comparison to this, the Broadway was fantastic, this was absolutely phenomenal.
Great movie! Ariana Grande is talented and fun to watch. The ending was dramatic & emotional, I was so moved holding back tears for hours, after the movie. I highly recommend.

I am addicted to wicked😅
Aren’t we all 😅❤
Yup yup yup 💚💖💚
I’ve only seeing it 5 times , going again today
Same I always have defining gravity or popular in my head
I can't tell if it's caused by a spell or my pre-existing fangirl condition.
The way I actually gasped a loud „NO!!!“ when they shows the big wizard head. Never in a million years would I have thought that they built an actual working prop that huge. Oh my god. I’m in love.
After I first heard the voice from that huge head, I was like oh no I had to pause the movie for a second
I saw Lena, Cynthia's girlfriend, standing behind Jon when he said, "That's a wrap." I felt a certain way about it as well, the wrap bit! Now, I understand why Cynthia and Arianna cry so often. This film will be a part of film history.
I have q wicked keyboard
Good to know kalac
That laugh after "its good to see me, isnt it?" line its so pretty
I'm sad they didn't add the ' No need to respond, that was rhetorical "
@@deance997RIGHT?! It was great😂
I could not get past that part lol I was like oh awww
Everyone’s always talking about Ariana and Cynthia’s friendship (which I also love), but it seems Ariana and Johnathan have a pretty cute friendship as well. Their interaction at 8:23 is adorable!
The cast chemistry of the movie is fantastic!!
Right!! All 3 of them have such great chemistry on screen and off
Idina Menzel and Kristine Chenoweth were a surprise cameo 2 me. I LOVED this movie, and I hope they get another cameo in part 2.
same here! when i first saw them in theaters, my jaw dropped!
It was a surprise to me too! I’m not sure if Idina and Kristen are going to be in Part 2, but I have heard that some other “former Glindas and Elphabas” will be.

I want a Joel Gray cameo please!
@@jamiegduboisThat would be so cool to see the stage performers as extras and whatnot. Fingers crossed it happens.

Now give us 5 hours of this
Fr 😭
Lol yessssss
Frrrr
Asap
So cool that they got the writers to appear in the movie too. This was a wonderful movie, 10/10 for me. Cynthia and Ariana were truly perfect casting. Very talented women.
But… NO Gregory Maguire!?!
@@jolynnscott5274Gregory Maguire is the guard to whom Elphaba gives the letter!
I love that Schwartz allowed Chu to add unique touches rather than just being a scene for scene remake of the stage version ❤
Super humble guy!
I love that Ariana and Cynthia both have their dogs with them during makeup. Just so sweet, almost like Toto is there in spirit through their own dogs. 🩷💚

Same boat as you! I only really tuned in because I am a really big Ari fan and now I am totally in love with everything!!!

So glad you got to experience the movie!!! I hope this trend of making high quality musicals more accessible continues!!
Cynthia’s mom asking if it’ll hurt when they take the ears off 🤣 my mom would ask the same
the joy and magic that was on set comes through the screen
I always liked Jon m. Chu but never thought he would ever make a film like this, not that I had doubts or anything, I was just a big fan of step up and just thought that would be his thing like forever lol he has totally slapped me in the face with this cuz this movie is so damn good!!!!
Jon also directed a musical called In the Heights which you might like!
I cried when I watched Wicked and now I'm getting tears in my eyes again 🥹❤️
10:10 Thé crazy animatronic head being practically done is INSANE 😅
I like the one at 10:02 more but it didn't make it into the movie.
I love how they have the writers acting in this movie as well as the original Elphaba and Glinda actresses, it just makes this all so special 💖
I'm glad that ariana grande is finally back again and she play her character as glinda💗
Love seeing all the behind the scenes stuff. This movie did us Wicked fans proud! :)
Damn, the way Jonathan Bailey dances is just so mesmerizing!
Whoever thought of using Venetian architecture for the school setting is genius. The colors and design work so well together.
i NEEDED this video
ugh 11:53 part killed me.... im sobbing, i love this musical sm😭💖
They did such a great job on Elphaba’s makeup.
7:13 I have no idea how I thought they filmed this scene but a guy in blue spinning Cynthia around while she’s on this funky contraption in the air was not my first guess lol!
I can watch the movie over and over again.
Same!
Samee!
Sameeee
cynthia's british speaking voice is so satisfying to my ears haha
wicked is everything i needed in life & more. i’m obsessed, & everyone is just so talented
I'm so in love with Glinda 💝 Ari did such a great job with that character ✨👑🩷 I can't stop watching and crying again and again with the emotional scenes 🪄 It's just like magic, Cynthia, Ari and Jonathan were just perfect 💝
The work they put into this movie shows. It feels so real! Amazing quality work. I love the musical and I was blown away by the movie. It was incredible and I can’t wait for the second part!!

THE fact that they only put ariana in the caption but not Cynthia..
No seriously. Why do they keep playing with her😢
Because the video featured a set visit with Ariana…. But I agree! They should have at least mentioned Cynthia in the caption
@@sunna8965 there was also a set visit with Cynthia
Yeah it’s unfortunate that this is still happening :/
Cynthia did better, anyway 🎉
Oh wow! The co-writers are in the movie, too! How special! How spectacular! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 This is very emotional because they put so much passion and thought into EVERYTHING...every single detail! Wow😊
Can’t wait to watch the sing-along version with on Monday. It will be my 9th time seeing it.😊
5:13 the woman in the backs reaction to her dress is so real 😂❤
Why the hell am I crying 😭💕
me too like what is going on 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're on the Wicked press tour
How can someone look so good being green!
It’s not easy being green! -Kermit
Me when idina came out “ITS ELSA” because she was my childhood!
I am really happy with this newer generation of legacy famous people. No one is really a jerk anymore. Everyone looks like they're having a lot of fun and understands they are where they are and how lucky they are
These two iconic women made the film what it is! Bravo Cynthia and Ariana 💚❤️💚❤️
It’s such an old fashioned movie with real sets and stage props and not overwhelmed with CGI.
Lol imagine if they used a green screen when Elphaba’s flying? VFX guys: umm…. Jon, we have a problem
Lmao
Im a musical theatre kid and i could se how this would be the most fun thing in your life. My new favourite movie.
Ariana and Cynthia are the best duo! 💚🩷
There's sooo much love in this cast and production. That's why the movie resulted magic!
Love this!! In Ariana’s interviews I love that we kinda got to hear her real voice. I know she speaks in a higher placement to preserve her voice but it’s nice when we get to hear her
I saw this movie in theaters and I absolutely loved it. This is a masterpiece and I bought it on prime video and I’ve watched it at least five times and I’m probably gonna watch it over and over this movie is a master piece. The whole cast is brilliant. This movie deserves Oscars.
“I know you wrote this…however”😭😭😭
Beautiful....💚♾️💗
When they threw the books a part in me died😭❤
"What's your name?"
"James"
"Okay, thank you, Ariana Glinda"
I’ve watched this movie 4 times and might watch it again tonight 😂
"You guys are weird..." and we're happy this way.
So ein hammer geiler film komme gerade aus dem kino❤❤❤❤
I love how the cape magically grew 5x
Obsessed with Wicked! 💖💚
Because Cynthia is such an amazing artist it never dawned on my that she also changes her accent throughout the movie 5:35
“We’ll get to part 2 in a moment” he says. You lie! I’m still waiting… 😂
As soon as i saw wicked i loved it so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was by far the best movie of 2024.
Cintha's work is impressive in all aspects, that together with Ariana's support and involvement makes this film brilliant. Great job by the entire team.
Cynthia belting out Defying Gravity when she's being flown and tossed around by a big mechanical arm is soooo impressive
Gonna break records
Nobody else could play Galinda except for Ariana lol
TO THE STAGE! This pop career hasn't shown her talents near enough. She's said her next dream roll would be Guinevere in a movie adaptation of Spamalot. Could you imagine??
So excited for wicked to com out🎉🎉❤❤
I LOVE WICKED Good work guys ❤👑🧹
Saw the movie last week and i ❤️❤️❤️ it soooooo much. I hope to see it again net week 😍😍
This is amazing
I want to see the entire movie being made behind the scenes lol
Wow glad to See Everyone get a part in Wicked & I may never see the Movie, I'm grateful for You Tube so I can see bits of the movie I want to See, it's made me want to get lost in the Original cast recording CD out again, once I can find it. Thank you it's BRILLIANT
Oscar is calling!!!
with that set, I swear they can do a new wizard of oz movie
Idina and Kristian’s cameo they wanted to be true the og fans and new fans
I was blown away by this film. it was exactly how I had imagined it, this is how remakes should be. other remakes pale in comparison to this, the Broadway was fantastic, this was absolutely phenomenal.
This review should’ve been millions😆💛
I had never heard of the musical so am in love with the movie!
I love the video and I also love Cynthia. I go Ariana Grande.
I got so surprised I really like that can you please make a part 2❤😢 I really like the witch when she singing deadly
What a good movie. I’m not a musical guy. At all. But this movie blew me away. Part 2 can’t get here soon enough
Love it 🩷💚
they both have their dogs awwww
I love that they included all the people who were a part of the making of Wicked in the movie.
I love how just like Ariana and Cynthia, Idina and Kristin are really close too 🥹💚🩷
I wish we could get like 5 hours of bts footage
i am obsessed w this movie
tHaTs wAt Im TaLkInG aBoUt -🙄✋ got me rolling on the floor
I loved the song of: Defying Gravity
...to see this movie for the third time at the cinema - seems to be the question of the day. ;)
8:25 “you guys are weird” I can’t
Great movie! Ariana Grande is talented and fun to watch. The ending was dramatic & emotional, I was so moved holding back tears for hours, after the movie. I highly recommend.
I love wicked soooo much ❤
Wicked is the most creative and the best film I have ever seen I also dident expect any of this
“A new.. little diddy” 1:05 I CAN’T PLEASE
Thank GOD I’m not the only one who n o t i c e d t! I swear I almost choked on my oxygen
You do know what a 'little diddy' means right? Very common term..
@@ilikespaghetti4458right? why are people being immature of this?
when do we get a VFX-Breakdown? They were amazing
I’m in love with wicked
Did anyone else get the “love love love” reference from Mac’s song 3:25 .. aww Ari 🥹
girl… you know it’s not that deep
Omg you can hear Ariana's real voice 🤣
