There's so much going on in the scene to look at that I missed, or didn't appreciate, some of the vocal choices she made.

jah1986 March 24 Share March 24 Finally saw it on Peacock this weekend. I enjoyed it for the most part. I forgot about Kristin and Idina's cameo's so was pleasantly surprised by that. I don't consider myself to be slow to figure things out in general but watching the movie was the first time I realized that it is NessaRose that Dorothy's house lands on. I was kind of outraged when I figured that out, I like Nessa! I knew what CE was bringing to the table and she did not disappoint. But I was pleasantly surprised by AG, she was really good. I've only see the play once and have no recollection of Act 2, so will be interested to see what happens when Part 2 is released. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143216-wicked-2024/page/5/#findComment-8615413

DanaK Friday at 01:58 PM Share Friday at 01:58 PM I just finished watching on Peacock and it was both over the top and pretty enjoyable. The ending scenes with Elphaba “turning wicked” in defying the Wizard and escaping are pretty spectacular. I may end up buying the Blu-ray in part because many of the musical elements were great. I never saw the stage play and didn’t know all the details though I’ve seen Defying Gravity performed a few times Ariana was pretty over the top as a ditzy Glinda but she was pretty good over all and Cynthia just killed it Did the Wizard know Elphaba before given the way he greeted her or was he overly familiar with her initially because he was already aware of her and had already conspired with Madame Morrible to bring Elphaba to him and unlock the special book?

Mountainair Saturday at 07:50 PM Share Saturday at 07:50 PM My 9 year old forced me to watch this with her over spring break and I’m glad I did! I thought this was really great and it was giving me Harry Potter vibes in a good way. Ariana looks way better in this than in real life so I was happy to see that (she’s very hard to look at on the red carpet, etc). I read the book a long time ago so had a gist of the backstory here but was still confused in parts and a lot of that is my fault since I was working on a crossword puzzle while watching. SO- Galinda was “bad” and Elphaba was “good” but somehow that switches by the time we get to The Wizard of Oz? The Wizard has always been a bad guy? I’m confused and now have to rewatch. Loved all the dancing and most of the musical numbers. The high pitch singing just doesn’t work for me even though I think it was done well. Elphaba (Cynthia) was a stand out for me. In my mind while watching I kept trying to tie everything in to The Wizard of Oz (I’ve been a fan since I was little-own the collector Barbie Dolls, had the 1980’s lunch box when I was a kid and just recently visited Land of Oz at Beech Mountain- glad I did because Hurricane Helene came through and did a number on it). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143216-wicked-2024/page/5/#findComment-8620432

Expand Reveal spoiler The Wizard is Elphaba's biological father. @Mountainair I would save yourself the time and either wait until next year when Part 2/Act 2 is released or read a synopsis of the stage musical. On 3/29/2025 at 10:39 PM, Mountainair said: At least with Harry Potter it felt like a problem was introduced and solved while also introducing a new plot point for the next movie/book. Expand This is because until the final book, each Harry Potter book was 1 movie. It told a complete story as the author intended. For people who have seen the musical, breaking up Wicked into two movies isn't a problem because we know the story, where everything is going, and how it all fits together. For people unfamiliar with the musical, it's a bit of a problem. It does not tell a complete story. When I first heard the run time was over 2 and a half hours, I was very worried about what they had done to pad the story and that they had added things because they could. I was concerned the movie would feel long and like it was taking forever. I was wrong. The movie absolutely zipped along.

tv echo Yest. at 01:18 PM Share Yest. at 01:18 PM (edited) The Oscar contenders with the most to gain during CinemaCon this year Christopher Rosen March 28, 2025 https://www.goldderby.com/article/2025/cinemacon-preview-oscar-contenders/ Quote Wicked: For Good (Universal) ... Why it matters: Wicked: Part One was an unqualified success, earning over $742 million worldwide and scoring 10 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Cynthia Erivo, and Best Supporting Actress for Ariana Grande, with two wins (Best Costume Design and Best Production Design). So it goes without saying that expectations are high for Wicked: For Good, the musical adaptation’s finale. However, it remains to be seen how audiences and awards voters will respond to the film’s second act, which is often cited as the weaker portion of the musical. Are Erivo and Grande guaranteed second Oscar nominations for playing the same parts? Will Wicked strike a chord with audiences again? Or maybe those questions are moot because director Jon M.
