Wicked - Official Trailer REACTION!!

[@iris-xo]

ariana wasn't kidding when she said she had to shed popstar ariana to make sure she was taken serious in this role, she's amazing

[@erik_hirsch]

And that’s why she’s incredible 😊

[@klaraf.b.9820]

from the trailer we didn't see much of her shedding that though did we. That small snippet of popular was very pop-y. But we'll have to see when it comes out

[@kingrodriguez3095]

@@klaraf.b.9820 it is supposed to be pop though. of course theater but pop for popular

[@DizzyCarrots]

@@klaraf.b.9820 fam, popular is a pop-y ass broadway song. And I assume they mean her acting is on point in this trailer, her speaking voice even sounds completely different

[@crankywinter4332]

GAY

[@caitlynskiff2001]

The trailer gives a lot away, but I like that they are limiting how many musical numbers we are hearing. Wicked is one of my favorite musicals, and I'm so excited to see this.

[@ruinspidey]

i know, though i feel like since it's such a popular musical and most people know the story they don't have to hold back in the trailer.

[@jessicacolgrave4082]

I have a feeling they’re going to be adding a lot of stuff from the books that was left out of the musical to justify doing two movies. The second act of the musical actually took place over almost a decade in the books.

[@dcfcsam9046]

Well tbf if u dont know the story of this musical thats existed for years its on you

[@kyndolled]

It honestly doesn’t give that much away 😭😭imo

[@hehasnolips1371]

The trailer barely gives anything away and wicked has been around for so long since broadway and wizard of oz and has several books you still are missing a lot trust me I’ve seen the broadway before

[@DanGamingFan2406]

I'm really looking forward to this. Wicked is one of my favorite musicals of all time, and it's about time it got a film adaptation. Arianna Grande is perfect for this role.

[@Tao_Tology]

If you told me that Chenowith had ADR's all of Ariana's lines I would 100% believe you.

[@thebabyismine]

i thought it would be another generic film, but after seeing this trailer and researching the story i am simply obsessed and applauding the acting of those actors... hly shhh 🔥

[@Melanie-jy2nw]

The musical is amazing so I’m honestly afraid it won’t live up to that but at the same time I’m happy to see the film bring mainstream non-musical fans into the story. This is my Dune basically lol It’s just such a great story 💚

[@dignature123]

@@Melanie-jy2nw how do you feel now? Because I thought they did a DAMN good job omg..

[@snerdterguson]

Wicked isn't exactly a prequel, it is a reimagining of the Wicked Witch and the story of her and Glindas time at Shiz University. But that's just part one of the first book in the series. The events of The Wizard of Oz take place within the book Wicked and there is so much depth given to Oz. Political intrigue, religious dogma. I recommend it, great book. Then there are the sequel books Son of the Witch, A Lion Among Men and Out of Oz.

[@daisypooch4034]

Hopefully this film is based on the source material the novel! Everyone commenting, talks as though this is a movie version of the theater musical as though that is the original. It is not. The musical was based on a novel. I hope the novel is the source of this movie.

[@E_btsot798]

might have to give it a read!

[@flaggerify]

It is pretty much a prequel.

[@VincentAlfonso]

Ariana and Cynthia are going to be a great and fantastic duo

[@ketchup016]

Trailer shows a lot but I guess you need to give people who haven't seen the show a good idea of what is about, and if you have seen the show it doesn't matter. 😂

[@jensenwahlquist]

I think they were trying to sell to people who’ve seen the show on the movie. You’re worried about Ariana? Ok we’ll show lots of her Glinda. You’re worried about Dr dillamond? Here he is and it’s Peter Dinklage voicing him. You didn’t like the defying gravity riff? Ok here’s more of the song and it’s gorgeous

[@LydiaHaterStevie]

I'm watching because it's to do with wizard of oz , lol 😂

[@michaelrandle3370]

Yeah I have no idea what wicked is about and I had no interest until this trailer 😂

[@yolandapaulino5952]

I think they’ll add a lot since this a two part movie

[@ketchup016]

@yolandapaulino5952 yeah, I think they're using the book to pad out the second act more, that's what a hardcore fan told me. But I don't know if I like how they're not marketing it as two parts. Is that something audiences like, an unexpected cliffhanger??

[@dgurlie-0273]

Wicked the one of THE most popular plays in the world! How could these guys not have heard of it?!

[@legendaccount3247]

To be fair, they seem to be pretty ignorant about musical theatre in general. They had literally no idea who Stephen Sondheim was when they reacted to Glass Onion

[@dgurlie-0273]

Seriously?!?! Oh my gosh, that is shocking. It’s one thing to not have seen the play, but to not know what Wicked is or say you haven’t heard is completely different. I don’t mean to sound rude, but how heavy was that rock they were living under? I was a bit of a shut in when I was a kid/teenager, but I still heard of Wicked until I actually saw it when I was a senior in high school. That’s wild to think there are people who actually haven’t heard of Wicked.

[@flaggerify]

It's a musical not a play.

[@ZeliBnnuy]

Wicked is the first and only musical I’ve seen in person, I’m soooooo excited for this

[@michaeljeacock]

well time to make Eric watch Return to Oz. if we have to have the Wheelers in our nightmares then so should he.

[@ketchup016]

I loved that movie as a kid. I saw it at just the right age to love the creepy weirdness instead of being traumatized, lol.

[@Tao_Tology]

Return to Oz gives a _much_ better feel of what Frank L Baum's books were like. He wrote some seriously weird stuff.

[@OriionCygnus]

I NEED to hear No Good Deed

[@hollyh1023]

You’re going to be waiting a long time. It’s being split into 2 movies and the second part won’t be out until November 2025.

[@nephtys369]

I think that’s act 2. Next year.

[@NickyR29]

The cast is what caught my eye. We’ll see how this comes across in theaters. Also, really long trailer - I hope they didn’t show the best scenes

[@erenhypen4718]

it's obvious that they didn't. especially if you know what's not showed yet.

[@augustinesator4969]

​​@@erenhypen4718Well, that's made me more excited as someone who never gets to see the Boardway version.

[@maureenseel118]

I feel like we got little tastes of what is going to be a phenomenal film.

[@jessicacolgrave4082]

Looks so incredible. Can’t wait to see what they add to this from the books to flesh out the story even more. I’m getting shivers and tears already from what little music was played. I saw this in NYC when I was 16 and it was a core memory :-p

[@Jarcovancapelleveen]

I don’t know anything about Wicked but I’m ready to hear Defying Gravity on the big screen.

[@yayahugfygj]

[@leolegendario1]

I watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time last year, I loved it, I've watched Return to Oz before when I was a kid, I was super confused and scared, I'm going to rewatch it one day to understand better. I'm at a time when I'm watching a lot of musicals, so I'm really looking forward to Wicked Part 1 and Part 2.

[@MM-hm8jr]

Ariana is doing an amazing job as Glenda.

[@flaggerify]

Glinda. Or Galinda.

Now that it's out for digital I hope you guys react to it!

[@ECNECNECN]

Will we get a reaction??

[@E_btsot798]

as an avid wicked the musical fan I saw the wicked movie opening night and I loved it! I actually loved the changes they made stylistically to the songs and dance numbers and can't wait to see how they continue to build onto the world in part 2!

[@michaelt3779]

Also guys if you didn’t know this is part 1 of 2. Part 2 should be released at around the same time next year and likely will be act 2 of the play 🙂

[@flaggerify]

Musical, not play.

Its an origins story of the witches in oz, it just happens to be a musical.

[@edlyngaus8733]

Thanks for sharing your reaction!🙂

Oh boy, that must've been a hell of a shock if you were expecting this kind of Oz from the HBO Oz show. 😱

[@cathakjordi]

This will be the Movie inspired in the Musical (the actual Wicked production) inspired in the book (the Wicked book by Gregory Maguire) that was inspired by the Movie (the Judy Garland one) inspired in the Musical (yeah, the classic movie was more inspired by the Stage play musical that they made first) inspired in the Book (the original Frank L Baum one).

[@allyb3241]

I’m sooo excited!!! This is my favourite musical of all time. Really hope they do it justice. So many amazing musical numbers I just can’t wait. Please react to it!!

This movie is absolutely gorgeous looking! Not just because of Ariana! But the cinematography just WOW!

[@Hockedipockedi]

Ariana was AMAZING as Glinda ❤

[@torontomame]

The novel is brilliant, and was one of my favourite of the books I read that year. Went to see the musical with some friends, and all I remember is that it looked pretty. Looking forward to seeing the movie, as it may have more of the novel in it.

[@ketchup016]

Yeah, the show tones down the novel a LOT. I believe a lot of the Broadway show creators were involved with this too, so I'm interested to see how they do it.

[@swedish_malin]

Great trailer! This movie premieres on my birthday so I'm looking forward to celebrate with a night at the cinema! I've seen the London musical twice but the last time was five years ago so I don't remember enough to be comparing things in my mind.

[@stevebills5716]

I never watch a trailer these days till after I've watched the movie, and I'm glad I didn't for this one. This is more like a recap of the first movie that they can show us before watching the second one next year.

[@steviehills4256]

As a huge Wicked fan, I'm excited but still very cautiously optimistic. I've read the book & I've seen the show countless times. I've seen Cynthia in The Color Purple for which she won a Tony Award & she was fantastic in it! I'm still not sold on Ariana as Glinda, but we'll see.

[@caitlynskiff2001]

The only think I'm concerned about with Ariana is the range of Glinda's voice. But I know she is going to crush it with the characterization.

[@steviehills4256]

@@caitlynskiff2001 Ariana was on Broadway ONCE when she was 15. And that was a loooong time ago in a galaxy that’s not even in this world. I don’t like that most people keep using that as their defense as to why she was cast. Yes, Ariana is talented but they should've chosen someone with a more legit Broadway sound. I've heard her sing Broadway before & it still sounds way too Pop-y for my taste. Like I said, I’m still excited but still very much cautiously optimistic. I’ll reserve judgement until I see the film.

[@ryyaannn_]

@@steviehills4256i’m so confused, caitlyn didn’t even mention broadway once in her comment lol. either way ariana is gonna sound amazing.

[@mythra7174]

I saw Wicked pretty early on in it's Broadway run with all the original cast, except for Joel Grey as the Wizard. He was out that day, but his understudy did fine. One of my favorites. Loved Idina and Kristin and Leo as the mains. I really hope the movie doesn't screw anything up.

[@TraeAnderson]

I know most people are describing this as a prequel to the Wizard of Oz, but the story just isn’t. Dorothy’s complete arc finished in the second act as well. This is more like the “behind the scenes, what was actually happening in Oz not shown in the Wizard of Oz propaganda film.”

[@seanpatrickcain2]

The Wizard: Oz, uh, finds a way

[@biocapsule7311]

The novel series was a quite interesting retelling, and the characters of the Wizards of Oz are basically unwitting pawns in a political assassination.

[@sheascott8818]

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are the perfect duo! You need to react to Cynthia singing, she’s absolutely amazing and she is a wonderful actress. She only needs an Oscar to get her EGOT, so hopefully she will get her Oscar for Wicked! Ariana has wanted to play Glenda forever so she shed the pop star and really gave her all to portray her. She’s really paying respect to Kristin Chenoweth who was the original Glenda, you can hear it in the way she’s speaking and also singing! Can’t wait for this movie 🍿

[@bobtheduck]

I hope they stick to the musical and not the book series that the musical was inspired by (That being Wicked years, not the ORIGINAL books) Because the musical was a corny but fun show, and the books were edgelord nonsense. Please don't borrow any more from those books than the names and basic setup. You know they'll at least change the story a little. It's not a straight adaptation from the Broadway show. It was supposed to be (though that may have changed) the same guy who did In the Heights, and while I liked a lot of that film, it had... issues. They made some weird story changes and shuffled things around in a weird way. ALSO, if story changes necessitate lyrical changes, I won't be able to sing along, and that will make me sad.

I never saw the musical, but having read the series of books, this looks like a god awful bastardization. Might still be a decent movie, but just in the trailer, it appears as if the great character of Elphaba has been changed quite a bit, and unnecessarily as she is such a great character to begin with. This trailer took me from a "can't wait to see it" to "I will wait for it to be free on some streamer or another"
