WICKED BREAKDOWN! Every Easter Egg & Detail You Missed!

[@mervseah]

I love that they included the young Elphaba scenes as you can see the impact that Dolcibear had on Elphaba & why Elphaba stands for the Animals.

[@CrazyLouLady]

I still think Kristen owns popular and Idina owns defying gravity, but Cynthia and Ariana killed the ballroom scene. That was absolutely amazing. Also, Fiyero did an amazing change in just a couple of minutes, but you could see the change come over him and why he would therefore help Alphaba with the lion cub afterwards. The whole thing was truly masterful. The going to Oz scene was masterful also. The set was unbelievable, the costumes were out of this world, and the acting was really fine. I agree that there were too many breaks in defying gravity, though. All in all, I was very entertained.

[@bt60613]

Call me crazy, but just my opinion- I kept seeing bits of choreography that look very much like that from “ Xanadu”.

[@Theartistanubis]

My younger brother who passed away in his 20s was a HUGE Wicked fan. He used to sing Popular ALL THE TIME. A few years after he passed, my ex took me to see Wicked on Broadway and I cried during Popular experiencing what my brother loved so much and then I was carried away by Gravity (pun interned lol) and I was a puddle by the end (pun also intended lmao). Years later my oldest daughter saw it and this weekend the whole family watched the movie the theater and it gave me everything I needed from it and yes, they DEFINITELY landed Gravity and I jumped up and cheered!

[@shabr1ri]

It is very beautiful that your brother’s passion continues to live on through you and your family. I hope you felt him in the magic of the theatre that night :)

One thing missed out in the mini play scene with Kristen and Idena is there's a small point where Kristen's globe wand stops working...and she keeps hitting it to get it to work again. This is probably a small nod to her doing the "ballgown" magic just before Popular in her original run on stage.

I interpreted it as a nod to the fact that Glinda would have no power if it wasn't for Elphaba

Jeff Goldblum/the Wizard also goes behind a curtain to do a little soft shoe with the balloon/moon. In this sequence, he is literally “the man behind the curtain,” who we are not supposed to pay attention to in The Wizard of Oz.

[@Anna-ny7ks]

[@oscarharris1178]

Truthfully, I knew very little about Wicked before the movie was released, but because I work at a cinema and I knew people were going to ask questions and want to discuss it, I've taken the time to learn the story and the songs and seeing parts of this movie and seeing the way so many people have come together to celebrate the story of Wicked, it has been truly incredible

[@invadernav3422]

There's more attention to detail making sure Dr Dillamond can use things that you see during the Something Bad scene, you can see the tea cups and teapot have indents to put his hoof.

[@JessieCochran37]

I never saw that on the teacups and teapot, so was like, "Oh just another movie magic trick, having a talking animal with no thumbs/hooves pick something up," when I saw it in the movie. It's so cool that they thought so much into it to create that inclusive design for him.

[@Dlatsch1]

I like the nod to Governor Thropp having a heart attack/ dying when he hears the news of Elphaba flying over Emerald City. In the musical in Act 2, Nessarose tells Elphaba that their father has died.

[@KandeShack]

The fact that they sang live amazes me. They’re dancing, running AND singing!!

The first time I saw the show, I was in New York with my marching band to march in the Macy's Parade (first Michigan marching band to do so) and I was enthralled with Wicked. By the end of Defying Gravity, I knew I wanted to be on stage, and it truly changed my entire life. This movie was the perfect love letter to the Broadway show, The Wizard of Oz, and Gregory Maguire's book. I also didn't sing, but I started crying within 2 seconds of hearing the overture in the theater! I'll be a wreck when Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande sing For Good!

"And then they expect us to just, get out of the theater like nothing happened." SO REAL!!

I think the opening reference to "Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead" isn't actually musical, but the kids are shown ringing bells and shouting "The Witch is dead!" (so "ding-dong", etc.)

[@cabupa]

The kid says "come out...come out", which are the first two sung lyrics of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. Also, the first five notes immediately after that are the notes from the chorus of that same song.

[@Legacysong2012]

The musical motif is part of the song from the 1939 movie

I learned about Wicked in 2007 when I and my HS marching band did a show using No One Mourns, Popular, Defying Gravity. I then learned that it was a Broadway play, so I bought the CD and fell in love and then also bought the book, In 2017 I FINALLY got to go to NYC and see the Broadway show and I loved it. 6 months later I brought my father to NYC to see it (My dad died 4 years later and this was the last thing we did together). and 6 months after that I brought my mother who is a MASSIVE Wiz of Oz fan, to see the show and bought her Front row center stage tickets to the show. To me Wicked is my favorite piece of media. When I first went I fond the Living Cogs hoodie for sale and I had worn it daily from the day that I bought it at the Gershwin till about 3 months ago, It has since been thinned out and full of holes in the elbows and pockets. I was able to replace it with a brand new exact copy of the Living Cogs and I will continue to wear this daily until it matches my original. 10/10 movie, best movie I have seen all year.
