Spoiler-Free Reaction to "WICKED Part 1" After an Exclusive Early Screening

[@trishyfishy]

“I almost think it’s a cure for depression” THIS is why I’m so excited !! It’ll give me the fuel I need for winter 😂

[@jeffblue19_2.0]

I was SO MAD when I tried to get IMAX tickets at my local theater for opening weekend only to find out that every single IMAX showtime is going to Gladiator 2 (NOT COOL), BUT I found an Early Access Screening in IMAX on Nov 20th and got my tickets! I cannot wait! So jealous you got to see it already but so happy for you both. Beyond well-deserved!

[@ScottSullivanTV]

It’s not a matter of what’s cool or not. Paramount paid to get a deal with IMAX for their movie. Universal did not.

[@FeatheredWingz]

Wow, high praise from you two!! "Cure for depression" lol. Sounds like, much like The 1939 Wizard of Oz film was a healing spectacle for a society recovering from the poverty of "The Depression era", the Wicked film adaption will be a healing spectacle for a society still recovering from the financial and emotional impact of the pandemic (some of us, yes, with depression lol).

[@geekyboy86]

I can't wait! Love this world and everything it stands for!! You two are just such a joy to watch! 💚💗

[@vintagekait02]

You both looked so good at the movie and I absolutely love your outfits here too!! 🤩 Ryan’s nails are iconic! You’ve both come so far and I’m so happy for you both!!! 🥲👏🏻 This is amazing! 💗 I love your friendship! This was such a beautiful video and it genuinely made me tear up 🥹

[@mywalterego9248]

BTW! Who's ready to visit Shiz at Universal Studios?!?!?! A little insider tip but this IS in the works, a "Land of Oz" based on Wicked at the theme park. Not just photo ops but street entertainers/food and drink/etc.

[@Trant956]

How does it feel to live MY DREAM!!!! I CANT WAIT!!!

[@moonlite2456]

i love how the whole cast is so insanely talented! it sounds like jon m. chu and the leads have done justice for this loved musical. Im glad universal was not stingy on the budget for this film! it deserved everything and it looks like it has paid off. i have heard so many positive reviews among the people who attended the early screening ☺💚🩷 so so excited

[@rosssims7224]

So cool that yall got to attend that awesome screening! Super pumped to see this, cannot wait!

[@jeffreylynn6789]

This was just what a needed as Milton threatens to destroy the world as Floridians know it. Stress, anxiety, fear, panic are swirling around me. I needed a break I needed a reason for joy, for hope. You have it too me.

[@alexandrakorngut5197]

Are you in Florida? If so, sending prayers

[@matthewd5883]

As soon as I saw the first trailer. I felt like my heart told me this is a special movie, and would be a movie I will deeply love and cherish. I can’t wait to watch this movie. I can’t believe we are almost close to watching this movie!!!! Wow

[@beltingtokra]

So many Oz-cars are on the cards for Wicked 💚

[@juliusvazz]

Both of you are great! ✨✨✨✨

[@matthewd5883]

I just saw the Wicked Movie myself. It’s definitely a cinematic masterpiece. I believe I’ll be going back to the cinemas to see it a fair bit. Thankfully I’m only a 5 minute walk away from my local cinema and I hope it’s going to be in the cinemas for a long time. The only thing bad about it is that we have to wait for 1 year to see part 2 😢😢. Finally after all this time I got to see it 😊😊😊.

[@devindayley4936]

I read that wicked ticket are going fast so I got mine today and I am so excited!!!❤❤❤

[@znapitsmia]

my tiny ozian heart explodes with joy !!! hearing everything coming from you its such an exciting thing !!! movie of the century

[@anxietyisms]

just wanted to pop in and say "joni grande" is not joan grande. joan doesn't use joni, she uses joan on all social media! joan also doesn't type like this person did.

[@juliusvazz]

AMAZING! 🩷💚✨🫧

[@AlexaSiri2024]

That is great news u both got to see the movie!!!! 😊

[@jayvansickle7607]

I was listening to the cast recording this morning.... and imagined that during "The Wizard and I", they'll show her day dreaming that the green is melting away and revealing her actual skin color.

[@brennanmaynard4237]

Ozband and Ozwife 💅🤣

[@kell_checks_in]

11:00 Maybe after the film's been out a while, you could release a video/list of all the allusions (Continually updated as more are discovered, of course.) (What I want to know is what the heck is Fiyero 2.0 doing accompanying u know who u know where u know when..? I hope we get plot elements like that fleshed out more.)

[@emanuellawton7942]

It looks like "Gladiator II" is going to tie up most of the IMAX( or in this case IMAXIMUS) screens for at least for the first two weeks. I plan on seeing both movies opening weekend (Wickedator). I will see "Gladiator II" in IMAX and "Wicked" in 3D(if its available) at the new Cinepolis theaters here in Los Angeles near SoFi Stadium.

[@starquilt]

I can't wait to see Wicked!!^^

[@WhoWeAreWhatWeLove]

I can't wait to see it!! Side note: that is definitely not Ariana's real mom commenting lol. Her name is Joan Grande, not Joni. :)

[@jonathanscott7767]

So far I've only watched the very first teaser for the movie. I'm saving everything for when I see it November 20. I can't waaaaaaait.

[@leroystea8069]

Yes, I prefer to be surprised. I am sure I will enjoy this movie♥ Looking forward to it♥ I'm going to avoid all spoilers to enjoy this as a pure experience♥

[@AlannaBorden]

I love anything about oz . The regular wizard of oz movie was my first movie. Can wait to see wicked. Glad you had a good time at the screening of the film . I was Judy garland in a past life. I wanted Cynthia Erivo to play elphaba . And when I found out she was going to play her I was excited.

[@Ras3jeddah]

I absolutely have no background about wicked but I am so excited to see it especially the music

[@Ras3jeddah]

Please don’t attack me I just heard that Ariana will be there+ I am international fan of Ariana 😊

[@Ghostin27]

​@@Ras3jeddah you will love it but it will be good too if you watch the wizard of oz if you have not yet. Just so you'll have idea about it

[@Ras3jeddah]

@@Ghostin27 great I will look it up thanks

[@yaboylucas2371]

No judgment at all. Everyone is welcomed 🩷💚

[@nrr9565]

Should I watch The Wizard of Oz before this movie? I’m so interested in Wicked but I wonder if I need to read/watch some things before going to the theater

[@azural8347]

Wicked is a reimagining of that movie,it's mostly its own thing but a basic knowledge about wizard of oz would be helpful

[@nrr9565]

@ thank you! I’ve been reading so many reviews and I’m so pumped omg

[@Sharpe1502]

Did you feel the runtime?

[@hannahtamblyn8799]

2hrs 40 mins!

[@kyari1989]

got my tickets for the Saturday release. Can't wait maybe seeing it in 3D too.

[@ACinemafanatic]

[@IronheartvsMiles]

Saw Wicked, Cynthia Erivo was easily the best part

[@joey4grande]

can somebody please tell me how to get ryans shirt that he’s wearing at 9:40?!? ive been asking forever and i can’t find it anywhere

[@deibreak]

You can get his sweater at Target, actually both of theirs.

[@joey4grande]

@@deibreak i want the black tshirt with the movie logo without the smoke in the timestamp that I sent. and yes I know the target collection is in stores but its definitely gonna be hard to find in my city ughhh :(

[@joey4grande]

@@deibreak I think I can just custom print the logo onto a shirty

[@elfdetected]

im so excited

[@thefoodlovermx]

You guys need to react to the Spanish version. Danna and Ceci are amazing and they were the ones who did Wicked in Mexico.

[@Braziggles]

Hadestown mentioned

[@kenfrmcape2355]

I just want to know one thing. Is the "Cultish social gathering" line in the movie? Its my favorite line from the show. But its not on the soundtrack, so I thought they may cut it.

[@bernardrichards9247]

Ok! As Oz historians - I know this isn’t until part 2. But as an Oz purist I have *hated* the origin stories of the Tin Man and Scarecrow SO much in the musical that it’s turned me off of the show. Obviously I’m still gonna watch these movies but I wonder what your thoughts are on that adaptation 😂

[@ameliawalker1046]

What does Tori mean by "I'll need another ring?"

[@BratzBoyz94]

14 hours by car...? Don't you have planes or trains in the United States?

[@donovan311]

Not unless he wanted to pay a crisp $400 for a last minute round trip. Flight and train prices are insane right now.

[@ameliawalker1046]

Are they an official couple or is it in name only?

[@artsyygamer]

35:18 dont you mean...congratulotions

[@ianlove29]

the songs featured in the new "tickets now available" trailer sounds a bit off/ a note lower compared to the original songs from the play. Does it sound the same in the movie?

[@chaarli4681]

they just kept all the songs in the same key for that trailer

[@jujub4553]

The first of any public indication that they split this into two parts. The studio did their best hiding that this is split into two parts

[@Noone-xf9cm]

It’s pretty well known it’s two parts…

[@judem2362]

How? They posted on their Instagram page the release date of Part 2.

[@ameliawalker1046]

And who is Nick?

[@barbraseville8984]

That intro is insane. I left the video before it started

[@judem2362]

This. Why do people make such a long ass unnecessary intro.

[@alexandrakorngut5197]

Are there any new songs?

[@ilovethis00]

I believe there are two new songs in part 2 next year actually, but not any in part 1

[@TheWickedMerman]

I'm a MAJOR Oz fan, Wicked included. I mean, I literally did a research paper for a college class about the world of Oz where I talked about The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz, and Wicked (I might turn that into a video one day). So as you could tell, I am absolutely relieved that this movie was a home-run based on what you guys said. I honestly trust your judgement. I have my own concerns with the film, which I did a whole video about and will link down below. But you guys definitely made me much less concerned and super excited. I'm excited for Ariana Grande's performance but I was skeptical, due to her acting in the past not being very cinematic but guys have that fear fading away. Cynthia will definitely be phenomenal. And in case you're interested, I also did a video where I did my own fan-cast for a film adaptation of The Wiz (One that's actually good, unlike Diana Ross' vanity project), which I'll link below as well. Thank you both for making my fears fade away, though I will always love the 1939 film the best because it's my favorite movie. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6i2p3RpqJ2oqbcsi=AH-rUPqAzgEoNXt- kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKabY6t9oNaUqsUsi=Y8lfdc-Xr7kdJIl7

Gosh you guys are embarrassing. That’s why I don’t make videos cause that would be me x 10. But some parts weren’t so cringey! Can’t wait for the movie!!!

Here in Québec, even in Montréal I can't get advanced tix. ...but I'm being naughty and waiting for VIP Cineplex where you order food and drinks with fancy chairs. I need to be GLINDA for my first viewing

[@BratzBoyz94]

They made it seem like they were invited to an exclusive early screening, but in reality, anyone could go if they just asked for tickets. It’s frustrating when they hype things up as exclusive when they’re not.

[@bigpapapizza4113]

I’m not sure it’s that simple

[@donovan311]

What are you even talking about? Stop typing out of your ass.

[@abbeyBominable123]

That is so not true lol. The seats were limited and they were invited by the studio. Not everyone can go.

[@Noone-xf9cm]

Who cares about the logistics behind seeing a movie haha wtf

[@actorjulion101]

Who cares, we all gonna eventually see it...

[@virginializcano3935]

The fact they changed the songs is enough for this to be a huge no for me

[@samplett6107]

I wouldn’t trust the trailers versions. I believe they’ve been pitch-correcting songs to entirely new keys to create cohesive trailer music. The toy microphone that spoils Cynthia’s Defying Gravity feels a lot more real and raw than what we hear in trailers. I’d say reserve judgement for now.

[@virginializcano3935]

@@samplett6107 yeah that may be true but she already admitted they “changed the songs to fit her voice.”
