[@geanlukaaa]

came here to make this comment and you had already made it hahahah. good job 👏🏻

[@tschedler2000]

Exactly! They only made them Ruby in the original movie because it looked better and popped more on film if they sparkled red in Technicolor.

[@Jetrowdy]

The whole Thank Goodness number actually happens in the Emerald City after Madame Morrible spreads fear about Elphaba, my guess is the flower fields could be one of the opening scenes for the movie, since No One Mourns The Wicked Glinda is in Munchkinland proclaiming Elphaba’s “death” (the leaked footage from set last year confirms this)

[@GracieSanderson]

YESSS and it still could be a reference to wicked the musical on stage but the main reason That

[@kellyrugel]

It also looks like they’re silver with ruby jewels all over them! Marrying the source materials so beautifully

[@carolynsilva27]

I feel like Idina Menzel as Dr. Dillamond would actually make a beautiful “passing of the torch” moment between the first and newest Elphaba! There’s something so poetic about Cynthia’s Elphie starting her journey as an activist through the person who originally gave Elphaba her voice 🥹💚🖤 Would also explain why we know nothing about the casting!

You ate that😍

[@ktc24601]

[@jackbalmont]

that would be pretty cool though i suspect we haven't seen gr. dillamond is because he's going to be cg effects and look like a real goat

[@ConnorN22]

My biggest fear is that it’ll end up being James Corden. Please god no.

[@PelafinaLievre]

It’s been said that it’s a CGI goat but a woman is playing him(her?) So no James Corden. The fact that they’re still not spilling the casting for this makes me suspicious it really is someone special.

[@brennanmaynard4237]

13:58 This particular bit isn’t a workaround, because most of Dorothy’s appearance is in the public domain, since she was described in the original 1900 novel described her as having silver shoes, a gingham dress, and a little black dog, around age 10 or 11. The silver shoes in the musical take after the Wicked novel, which take after “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” novel. They also can allow for the lion because he’s an actual lion-rather than the copyrighted “man in a lion costume walking upright” thing they had going on in 1939-in the novels. Many other coloring choices (in both the stage and film) reflect ethnic characteristics of Ozians in the 1900 novel: Glinda and her servants are wearing purple (along with her trademark pink) because she’s from Gilikin Country, where the traditional color is purple. The little children in the tulip field are wearing red because they’re Quadlings, and Avaric wears yellow on stage because he’s a Winkie. Shiz’s uniforms are blue because it’s a Munchkinland college.

[@Legacysong2012]

Avaric isn't a Winkie, unless you are referring to the fact that "Fiyero" in the musical is just Avaric in the books? Avaric is Gilikin like Ginda, Fiyero is the Arjiki prince from the Vinkus, called Winkie Country

[@timn11.04]

Maybe the Glinda wedding is a dream sequence of „I’m not that girl“ where Elphaba imagines them getting married but it doesn’t actually happen🤷

[@ferosha99]

This is the most likely explanation

[@SkylarKuzuf]

Wait!! That would explain so much, and be SOOO perfect!! 😮😮😮

[@solcarlosofficial]

I’m so excited to see fyero as the scarecrow and explain why he joined Dorothy.

[@hanonondricek411]

😬The book is so different. Game of Thrones different. Suffice to say that they don't have a problem with Fiyero being the scarecrow in the book. The musical made a couple of clever changes and callbacks to make a great self-contained piece of musical theater. It will be interesting to see how different this goes. I also love how the Dorothy track in the musical is off-stage and I know they put the more explicit movie-OZ imagery in the trailer because most of the people seeing it are in Wicked kindergarten and aren't possibly schooled in deconstructionist literature and that's for them. Its _hilarious_ that the entire drama of The Wizard of Oz is not even the main thing concerning the Wicked characters. You never really see her in the book either - Dorothy is a pawn and the Wizard's _secret weapon_ and the Twister is _mentioned_ (like how you hear on the news about a tornado that happened in another state) but Elphaba's perspective is her sister died. I think Elphaba grouses to herself in the middle of other things about how frustrated she is trying to reason every day with this farm girl to take off her shoes when all she does is weep...which they turned into comedy in the show. I'm sure they _could have_ paid for the rights for the original film iconography, but it's funnier and more in the spirit of Wicked if they don't bother. I'm 99% sure this movie isn't going to invent scenes with Dorothy... _this ain't her show._

[@Legacysong2012]

Hopefully that is one thing from the books that gets added in so Fiyero isn't turned into the scarecrow, and that Boq isn't turned into the Tinman, that was such a dumb change in the musical

[@Rozziefeatherschneider]

​@@Legacysong2012 In the books elphaba actually assumed the scarecrow was fiyero. I don't think it was a "dumb change" for the musical, I actually think it was clever and added more to the story.

[@andrewforlifee]

My theory is that if the Dorothy footage is in part 1, the movie is going to start with the end of the Wizard of Oz just to familiarize the audience and then the shot of Glinda getting in her bubble machine is her leaving Oz and flying to Muchkinland for No One Mourns the Wicked.

[@ferosha99]

I can see that! Basically give us more of a - this the story you all know, but here’s what really happened…

[@andrewforlifee]

@@ferosha99 exactly! I wouldn’t be surprised if the opening shot of the movie is that hat scene we see with all the steam around it. Then cut to Oz with Dorothy stepping in the room. I’m so excited to see what they do!

I'm so glad you're afraid for the lack of Dr. Dillamond for all the right reasons!!!

[@Actrjay]

The shoes are silver in the original Wizard Of Oz book as well. The only reason for being ruby in the 1939 movie is because they popped in the Technicolor process.

[@lindseylichtman]

Yes exactly! Thank you!

[@geanlukaaa]

ps: dorothy’s slippers are silver originally in the oz books by frank baum, not only in the musical :)

[@lindseylichtman]

Thank you, I was looking for someone to have commented this already lol

[@girlschmoopie]

I came to make the same comment, and glad that others already brought it up. 😊

[@ferosha99]

Yes and like the musical they only got rights to the books but the MGM film

[@jacobryanpaul2897]

Right, the slippers were made ruby to show off the advancement that was Technicolor. Plus most of the books of Oz entered the public domain this year, maybe that’s why they can show Dorothy as depicted in the books- the movie itself will enter the public domain in 2034.

[@JeffreySewell]

It's definitely Idina Menzel voicing a female Dr. Dillamond. They had a woman green screen puppeteer on set who did and read the scenes with Cynthia, and they're having an "unannounced" cast member voice the role -- wonder who it could possibly be? Also, Idina posted a Goat emoji on some social media website a few months ago, suggesting it.! I think the cameos of the OG's in the film will be Kristin as Ariana's Mom being dropped off at Shiz and Idina as a female Dr. Dillamond who's also a guide to Elphie so it nods to the OG production and such. xxx

[@godabandonedthistimeline]

I always thought Idina would play Melena, Elphaba's mother in the scene where she has the affair and gives birth to Elphaba. But I think you might be onto something

[@brennanmaynard4237]

Also, Idina hinted on threads that she might be Dr. Dillamond. OP: Are you an Elphaba 💚 or a Glinda 💖? Idina: 🤔 Idina: Can I be a 🐐

YALL MOM AND DAD POSTED🫶🫶🫶🫶👑👑🥳🥳🥳

[@musicmoviegirl565]

My thoughts: Wicked is such a brilliant musical (and book) that it has worked in the moments of when Dorothy and the gang are supposed to be here and there so well done on stage, that I think in the movie they are able to expand upon them. We forget when we watch a musical, we think the scenes that are happening are instant, but really there can be moments, days, months to years passing in between scenes, like between act 1 and 2 is atleast 5-10 years? if not more. The moment after As Long As You're Mine is when we see the yellow brick road and it insinuates the fact Dorothy just landed and she was led off to the Emerald city, that scene in the original movie is atleast 15 mins long, and then after the March of the Witch Hunters, we see Dorothy is kidnapped, thats so much time in between when we see the Tin Man and the Lion protesting to them being backups for Dorothy, like atleast a couple days! Needless to say, I think there are moments like that that are gonna be expanded and we'll be able to a tally comprehend the timeline of Glinda and Elphaba having their thing while Dorothy and the gang meet and all. Another point, I actually don't mind that the battle cry is in the trailer, a lot of people were upset cause its one of the most iconic, if not the most iconic riff in musical theatre. But, I will say arguably, No Good Deed is a harder song to sing and act than Defying Gravity. DG has its moments by NDG is just sung through without stops or dialogue, and Elphaba is so hurt and angry from everything that has f*cked her over that it is, again arguably, THE climax of the musical, where we see Elphaba really be "Wicked". Yes Defying Gravity has its plot point to convey too but, No Good Deed has a whole bunch of things to accomplish in the 3 minutes it is.

[@musicmoviegirl565]

all of this to say im really excited for the movie and I will go see it alone if I have to 😅😅

the silver slippers are also accurate to the Wizard of Oz book. also, I think the wedding scene might be a dream sequence when Elphaba sings I'm not that girl.

Has anyone thought maybe the "riff" at the end of the trailer is just a "maybe" riff? Think for a minute...do you really think they only had her record just ONE riff??

Thoughts?

[@lilyblake5887]

I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering where Dr. Dillamond is. He quite literally is the catalyst for soooooooo many plot points within the book/musical.

[@la.uralox]

I think the two main reasons he’s not shown in the teaser are it’s a spoiler for a cameo (very likely Idina) and also CGI will take longer to create and perfect, so putting out a teaser now they probably won’t have finalised the CGI yet

[@ferosha99]

@@la.uraloxYes! And knowing how much backlash films get from bad CGI characters they probably want to make sure it looks perfect before they reveal anything

[@la.uralox]

@@ferosha99 exactly! They can show the cgi locations as they’ve been able to work on them before/during filming, but they have to use an actor to create the movements and a separate one for voice acting to then cgi the character so I’m assuming they’re still working on that

[@saturnsfaiiry]

i think dorothy is going to be a huge plot point for the second movie because for the marketing they've been leaning towards "there's been so much before dorothy landed in oz" & "You weren’t told the whole story. What happens when you veer off the Yellow Brick Road?"

I probably sound like a fake fan not seeing it already, but I fell in love with Defying Gravity and I've been trying to see it on stage, but life keeps happening and preventing me from seeing it. I'm reserving myself to have a reaction to the battle cry until I see the movie, because I know it's going to be amazing.

Dorothy's slippers in the book were silver, so they didnt have skirt around the color of her slippers. in the MGM Wizard of Oz they were Ruby because color was still a fairly new thing in cinema so they wanted to capitalize on this.

[@Jerbearluv]

The shoes are silver in the wizard of oz books. They were red for the movie to show off the technicolor on the screen.

[@moviemelody2210]

Hot Take: “Thank Goodness” is boring and too long in my opinion 14:04 it could be referring to the original silver slippers that Dorthy wears in the book series as well. As Ryan pointed out there is some copy write issues regarding the 1939 film starring Judy Garland as the Ruby slippers are not in the public domain (this color change was actually a design choice because color was fairly new to film and Technicolor/MGM Studios wanted a color that would pop) so in order to get around it in productions like The Wiz and Wicked they reverted back to Silver

The fact that, before watching this video I didn’t really know what wicked was other than a musical, and I didn’t really care to know more, and now I’m so pumped and hype and feel the need to get filled in on everything I don’t know, just proves the power of the Sam and Ryan channel 😂 I watched the video because I love them, not because I cared about the movie, and now I love them AND want to see the movie 😂

[@LoraK31]

I think if James Corden was going to play Dr. Dillamond, they wouldn't be waiting so suspiciously long to announce his casting. But if they gender-bent him and cast Idina or Kristin, that would be more worth this silence because it's a more shocking reveal. I'm staying optimistic that the long wait means it's someone really good.

The visuals are incredible from what I've seen of the trailer and the costumes are a perfect blend of screen and theatre. Only thing I'm nervous about is that almost every line they have shown in the teaser are NOT lines from the show. They have similarities but the words have changed enough for me to wonder that if in the trailer most words are changed, how much of the script will be changed in the whole movie? Wicked is iconic and the reason its been on broadyway and west end without changes to the script is because it is so well written so I'm excited but nervous to see the changes

Don’t forget, wicked was a MASSIVE. Book before it was the musical, the musical had to condense so much that it missed the way that the book worked in and re skinned parts of the wizard of oz in a way that dodged any copyrights of the time, hence the silver slippers and ect. Which is why I think we’re gonna be able to see so much more of that part if the story, so long as they pull all of their “wizzard of oz” plot points from the wicked book adaptation, possibly bypassing/finding a loophole to the very strict copyright from the original wizard of oz

It's like what they did with DUNE a bit. We got a world-building trailer not a movie trailer. - Also, using Dorothy grabs the attention of people who have NO IDEA what Wicked is, especially during a football game. - "...who can sing AND act." I understand what you mean, Sam. I understand. - *sprays Ryan with a water bottle* No, Ryan! Bad, Ryan! Don't say things like that. I REALLY hope some of the other commentors are right and it's a legacy actor as Dr. Dillamond. (Crosses fingers for Katie Rose Clark as Dillamond 😆) - We should keep that in mind. This is a world-building trailer for the hoi polloi and not the musical and theater nerds. It mainly showcased 1) the world, 2) the two leads, 3) two A-list actors as iconic roles, and 4) elements people would quickly recognize in less than a minute. Marketing was smart with the expensively short time they had.

I suspect Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz teasers are intended to draw in people who aren't familiar with the musical or the Wicked book. It's very possible that Dorothy won't be a big part of the movie, but she's a draw for moviegoers who wouldn't otherwise take an interest in seeing this film. It's entirely possible that what's in the teaser is actually most of the Dorothy/Wizard of Oz scenes.

There's a few things that draw from the original Oz books that I want to comment on. First, the slippers were silver in L Frank Baum's book and were only made ruby for the movie because it was in technicolor. Second, the first chapter of the book make a point of Toto being black when everything else in Dorothy's Kansas was gray, so I'm a little upset the dog is blond. Third, I believe in the Wicked book, Boq wasn't the Tin Man but someone else entirety; I think there might've been a Boq in the Oz books, even. So it'll be interesting how much is drawn from the book source and how much from the musical. Oh, footnote: in the original book, the Emerald City wasn't actually green. The Wizard just had everyone who entered the city be forced to wear green goggles so everything looked green.

Hey y’all! Two Oz nerds here and we love this! 👋❤👋quick add: Oz has had more cinematic realizations since THE WIZ in 1978 including Disney’s sequel and prequel RETURN TO OZ- ‘80s fantasy kindertrauma- and the 2013 OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL- disowned by most Oz fans 🤣🤣. But this is the first film since MGM that feels like it will have that Oz lasting power. Can’t wait!!!

LMFAO Ryan’s rant on James is my favorite thing😂😂

[@JaredPallesen]

Boq sings "and that ball that's being staged, announcing Glinda is engaged to Fiyero" and then the little Glinda Fiyero dance sequence transition Ryan was mentioning follows that scene, it symbolises the official engagement party, not a wedding.

8:37 SAME! I loved that wedding scene in Crazy Rich Asians 😍

[@rachelwashington5921]

8:41 yes! I had the same thought! I love that scene 💕

Sam--never fear, be proud of your 20 viewings--i'm at least twice your age, and I'm quite certain I've watched it at least 40 times in the last couple of days! 😂 Ryan--nice catch with the usage restrictions on the depiction of Oz from the 1939 film, if I'm not mistaken, Disney ran into the same problem with the original version of the Big Movie Ride at the Studios. For quite some time, there was a huge gap with literally nothing shown when they couldn't get the licensing for the tornado itself. I definitely want to look into that more! Having said that, i'm not sure that this is the reason that the slippers are silver, rather, I believe that they're silver, not Ruby red in the original book. Anybody!
