[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

Awesome!

[@tinamarief64]

I love this movie ❤❤❤❤

[@trinaq]

I love that Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth gave their blessings to Cynthia and Ariana, and even popped up in a small cameo.

[@beccaberry101]

The BEST cameo for them too

[@kcpdx]

I hated this movie

[@christinecorpse]

Cynthia being a real princess with the birds singing with her!! 😭💞

[@Alelia-m8n]

Imagine seeing all that happening that live, must be so magical ❤

[@frankieseward8667]

Cynthia deserves an oscar for Defying Gravity alone.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Defying Gravity was the first in a long line of Act One finales that stood out to me in my years of theatergoing. And I knew she could nail it all along.

[@MekaM83]

💯

[@s4xtt]

She'll complete her EGOT then

[@jumpsquad150]

The Wizard and I should be what wins it

[@eviea9943]

Omg tell me about it

[@musicalkavya]

Cynthia Erivo singing live while being suspended in the air is just INCREDIBLE. And Ariana SLAYED vocals and comedy.

[@callmethecommentcountess9329]

Have fun be made out of straw Fiero

[@jenm6387]

I absolutely agree with you - she was brilliant! AND Pink has been doing just that for years in her concerts when she flies around the stadium. Both are brilliant, powerhouses with exceptional singing abilities.

[@Karlwasright]

Ngl. I did not know that.

[@oscarjuliangonzalezcarreno2525]

Props to whoever that cast Cynthia and Ariana. They were born to play Elphaba and Galinda.

[@RosieTheWickedFangirl2007]

I already knew they were singing live and it perfectly fits the whole musical theatre vibe and Idina Menzel said that makeup and costumes help her get into character so I’m glad they sung live in the film.

[@rainbowcat498]

i knew from the first moment!

[@LeeBeeDeeTree51]

I say this with the most admiration. Wicked is revenge of the theater kids. Made by theater kids, starring theater kids and made largely for theater kids.

[@junglecat_rant]

I truly haven't had expected what I saw. The details, the costumes and of course the singing. Extraordinary movie! Go and watch it. You won't regret a second.

[@TheTaoistOnline]

OMG if you haven't seen this movie yet, please go! It's the best movie I've seen in years and probably the best musical film ever!

[@manuelorozco7760]

Perhaps the best musical film since The Greatest Showman

[@eternalyujis]

​@@manuelorozco7760 as much as i love the greatest showman, it's not that good to be put against wicked

[@RobertaMonet]

It was truly amazing.

💚💚💚💚💚My favorite part is the musical score of "for good" during the Ozdust Ballroom scene where Elphaba and Glinda dance. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹I tear up just thinking about it. 💚💚💚💚💚The silence of that emotional scene juxtaposed to the defiant jugger-naut of Defying Gravity is emotionally over-whelming: rare in one film. 💚💚💚💚💚Also, love looking for the easter eggs and the special references to the Wizard of OZ. Oh yeah, the cameos. 💚💚💚💚💚

[@cijmo]

I can hardly wait to see it in full in the 2nd part.

[@EmilSchwarzYT]

Same. That made me tear up as well.

[@karonpender3038]

Defying Gravity was everything I hoped it would have been, and so much more! This movie is going to be historic and will age well! No need for a remake ever!

[@mindytillapaugh3465]

The easy answer, of course, is "Defying Gravity" - that has been my war cry for over 20 years...but now that I have seen it 3x already (with more visits planned - CAN'T WAIT for the sing-a-long versions) my new favorite part is Elphaba's dance at the club....beautiful and heart wrenching....and I KNOW how that feels.....been there...

[@kimharris590]

I teared up at this part. Like something inside me was touched deeply. It was so simply beautiful.

[@fangirling3]

Wicked is truly amazing!

[@janinazcameraroll]

Please let Wicked sweep the Oscars!!!!!!! Its beyond well deserved

[@TheKhaliente]

It’s not gonna sweep the Oscars. They will probably just get best costume and maybe best adapted screenplay

[@aquagamer1212]

@@TheKhaliente Cynthia is getting an award too if the judges aren’t deaf…

[@janicedarling194]

They often wait until the next year when part 2 comes out... I would find it so hard to wait!

[@jonathankhoo4954]

Ozsust ballroom duet. Favorite. Hands down. Forever.

[@Lizwindsor]

It’s remarkable, just amazing! ❤❤❤❤

[@manuelorozco7760]

I guess honoring the OG’s and defying expectations are the best facts. Because Wicked went a little above what I expected and become my favorite movie of 2024. I had no major doubts for Cynthia & Ariana for a second. I was little worried about the live vocals though. But I now feel at ease

[@akitaevita313]

The birds singing along with her is adorable and magical lol

[@lurkeronYT]

04:30 Okay, the way he was looking at Cynthia is everything to me. It looks like he is falling in love and he does not even know it.

[@Silumivs]

i’m pretty sure johnathan bailey is gay lmao

[@lurkeronYT]

@@Silumivs I know 😂

[@vermontvoice13]

Loved the movie and def need to see it again

[@kayesheen1067]

I love that Cynthia brings her dog to her shoots 🥹

[@JAIME_JOSH_STAN]

I've never seen the broadway play but from clips I've seen online of it I think Ariana and Cynthia did it justice . Such a damned good movie adaption .

[@nidapyon]

The song I am not that girl hits so hard for me

[@stevefisher2553]

UNREAL, GO SEE IT!

[@Y03F_]

Wicked is my movie of the year

[@musicalkavya]

My favorite song was obviously Defying Gravity 💚🩷

[@vermontvoice13]

Same!

[@May-jo5rg]

Just came back from the premiere in my country. Sooo good 🎉

[@Ali-fx2wo]

The singing live was the right move. The Elphaba belt at the end of Defying Gravity was originally improvised by Idina Menzel because that’s just what she was feeling suspended above the stage at the end of the song, so I don’t feel that same emotion could have been reached in a studio booth

[@chareajohnson2320]

I can't pick one! I love them all!❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

[@jamesk8s1]

Thank you this was AWESOME!!!

[@sheilaholmes8455]

Cynthia’s puppy is so damn cute.

[@pineshimmer]

supervise from under the bed 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@carolhedberg2341]

Gravity will always be my favorite!!

[@ralphralf100]

Everything is perfect!

[@JCR071591]

I love that they sang live! There’s just a small part of me that breaks every time it’s mentioned because Cynthia isn’t the first woman to sing while flying live, P!NK has dominated that for years in her concerts.

[@markthomas6236]

I love what you do

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

Awesome Wicked movie!

[@84laurellelewis]

Imagine having to have all those piercings redone 😢😢 So cool they could make her prothesethic ears

[@Itsrosieplayz]

I love What is this feeling so much

[@samuelcollantes1175]

Happy wednesday afternoon, Emily, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well

[@SleepyT23]

everybody thinks Ariana is the songbird. Turns out it's Cynthia

[@janiekamccracken2558]

It is an amazing movie.

[@susyclau7433]

Of course gravity without a doubt

[@盧璘壽로인수]

at least Ariana got her wand, but Jon Snow doesn't have his Valyrian sword also that songbird anecdote proves Elphaba is a real Disney princess

[@DenetiaMorgan-v3b]

I like defying gravity

[@shenhavch2563]

regarding the live singing, was it what was put in the movie? it didn't sound like it some of the time

[@ComeWeFly]

That it seemed studio-recorded at times speaks to the exquisite talented of both Cynthia and Ariana. All of their songs were done live in scene.

[@janicedarling194]

they were of course tidied up as needed after shooting in the production room--I believe Ariana had a lot to do with that. But my understanding is that for the most part they used the live takes, at least for Ariana and Cynthia.

[@shenhavch2563]

@@ComeWeFly I meant more the sound itself sometimes didn't sound natural but it may be due to "cleaning" that was done on the track afterwards like someone else here said. It happens too and could explain it. They are very good but still you can tell if you know what to listen to.

[@DanielStrong-h6m]

DEFYING GRAVITY OFCOURSE!!!!

[@marylyn6290]

What video is 10:09 from?

[@mayaharrison3138]

cooool

[@hschmicknos]

"Gravity wasn't the only thing Ariana Grande was defying for Wicked" - lol that's an Elphaba song, not Glinda. Who writes this stuff?

[@amandadoh2875]

the fake ear is probably to cover up all the holes in the ear, makes no sense to spend hours on that just so you dont have to take out a few earrings. Might take 3 minutes, the ears probably take hours...

[@TheRelaxTroy]

What?

[@ryanallen7511]

Jonathan bailey was way too old for the roll. What’s done is done and my only casting critique

[@TheKhaliente]

THIS! He and Cynthia are around the same age but he looks his age.

[@staciewood6330]

He’s younger than Cynthia Erivo 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@todrapayne]

They tried to explain this by saying he'd been to numerous schools and had been kicked out, so supposedly he was older than the rest, but yeah, he looked it.

[@LisaNutter]

But he makes up for it with devastating good looks and masterful singing and dancing, so…

[@ryanallen7511]

@@LisaNutter any of the Jonas Brothers could’ve done it lol😂

[@lesleyfrolloandhooklover6615]

I truly love this movie, Cynthia and Ariana Grande truly did an amazing job on this movie. I truly love Defying Gravity Cynthia really brought that wonderful performance. I was super amazed that Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth made an appearance, you can’t have a wicked movie without the originals. 🖤💚🧹🩷✨🫧
