Back in the month of January 2019, my parents and I went there at the Pantages Theater for the red carpet premiere of Wicked. I really enjoyed that show. I also saw Kyle from ZOOM for the backstage tour back in 2005.
Immersive the clear answer to me. The director spelled out that you were meant to feel like a part of the world. That’s the definition of an immersive experience
800 question is far too specific. Also, this category assumes the players have seen the stageplay before - which is a bit of a reach for a section. A well designed section should allow for two approaches to an answer - see the Literary Video Games category for an example.
The only clue that assumes familiarity with the musical is Popular, which is one of the 2 or 3 most well-known songs from the show, which is a smash by any metric.
disagree. you can learn all of this by cultural osmosis. Popular is the most famous song from the musical, next to Defying Gravity, it came out in 2003 & has stayed popular since. It was too easy. the L Frank Baum question, you only need to know who wrote the original Wizard of Oz. the onyk question that was stupid and shouldn't have been included was the "immersive" question, as that is just guessing what the director said in a clip and has nothing to do with anything, no actual knowledge of any subject really. the "you're green" line, is also in several different Wicked movie trailers that have been out for a bit now.
Jeopardy is fun except for their questions. Whoever is writing the questions now, suck. The questions are worded so weird its a task in itself just trying to figure out what the heck the question is even asking. Or, the question is so odd and specific that nobody even knows it. You need new people writing your clues. It's just not fun anymore.
I love ❣️ this 💕 category, "Wicked." As for their upcoming musical 🎼 movie 🎥. I can't hardly wait 💗 to see 😀 that 💖 movie 😍. It's gonna be popular. 😊❤🎉
I thought the solution to the first clue was "cinematic" but maybe the marketing uses the actual solution.
They might accept that, there have been times where an odd answer has been ruled correct later in the game.
Jesus the first question was ridiculously specific
Is it bad that it is? I'm not from the West and it's my first time encountering Jeopardy
I understand how the clue hints at it, but it does still feel really open to other answers
“Immersive” doesn’t even sound like a word after Jenny Nicholson’s Galactic Starcruiser video, anymore.

1). Wicked (Broadway category with Alex Trebeck)
2). Wicked (Movie category with Ken Jennings)

Got all but the first (which was way too specific 😂🤷♀️)
"Wonderful" has 9 letters - give Paul the points!!!
that first clue could’ve been either “cinematic” or “spectacle.” bonkers
Yeah. It's just a movie, it's not like it's presented in Smell-O-Vision or something
I thought wonderful was perfect! Reference to wonderful wizard of Oz and his song from Act II
I love Wicked, but wish these clues were better (esp #1!)
You’re going to be perfect 😂
cringe answer lol... and she looked so confident with that answer
What shoes to wear, how to fix your hair, everything that really counts to be perfect
So interesting seeing questions about the film with Ken but when Alex (RIP) was around, they had the stage production!!!
Just saw Wicked yesterday and it was awesome.
oh we all know Paul saw the broadway show
“Wonderful” was the perfect guess for that dumb first question.
Immersive the clear answer to me. The director spelled out that you were meant to feel like a part of the world. That’s the definition of an immersive experience
If Happy Holidays was good enough for Bing Crosby, it’s good enough for everyone.
I got 4 out of 5.
What is half to wait a full year for all the good stuff in movie number two for 1000 Alex
I love how the first guy looks like Ethan Slater lol
Damn. This is top tier marketing!!
the Wicked promo is EVERYWHERE, quite literally everywhere.
JEEZ -- talk about applying a double standard: Any other time, saying only the last name in a response is sufficient to score.
The $1000 would have been a $200 in an Authors category without the reference to Elphaba.
1:25 Hey. Don't mention it. Just don't push it. Stay focus.
Why did she guess "perfect"? If you don't know the show well enough to know that iconic song, don't buzz in.
💖💚
I thought it might be based on the book
I got one 😂

this advertisement for the major motion picture, wicked, looks suspiciously like the television program, jeopardy
What a terrible $800 clue

I don't mind these promotional categories generally, but this one was trash.
This was a terrible category, even for a sponsored one.
I hate when they use Jeopardy to promote movies.
They do it for a reason, and that's due to sponsorships.
Come on man, this not the Wizard of Oz in any way shape or form.
(and it's better for it)
It’s a prequel.
Yes, Wicked is a retelling. As such, creative liberties can be made
Did they ever say it was?
No.
Could they have picked an uglier Elphaba?
My wife thought the same before she saw the movie. Afterwards, was absolutely in love with the choice.
Elphaba is not supposed to be gorgeous I mean Idina Menzel isn’t a supermodel either. She’s supposed to be unusual looking.
