My favorite detail that I just noticed is that Elphaba's hair is micro briaded. I LOVE that

[@WillDewBadley1]

In The Heights was one of my favorite musical movie adaptations, so I’m confident Chu will do a great job with this.

[@Wickedfan219]

I do too!

[@apple_bottom_jeans675]

Same!

[@igorfelix5451]

seeing Jess freak out is THE BEST! we love a wicked girly

[@thespibunny272]

Jonathan Bailey sings beautifully & I can’t wait to hear him sing Dancing Through Life!

[@blattman13]

I'm expecting a combination of the book and play. Knowing the book fills alot of the story in

[@AndrewJackson-rr9jk]

This is my hope as well - the book is some thing different and entirely darker and more subversive

[@CountryCowboy008]

I think they will start the film not with No One Mourns, but like in the book - Elphaba stalking Dorothy because of the shoes, hence Dorothy is there.

[@sabrinaestrada3590]

That's what I was thinking too. I'm going to have to read the book.

[@geoffishy]

In terms of the bits with Dorothy etc all, Wicked (at least the stage version) opens with Galinda retelling the events of Wicked to the citizens of Oz, so rather than flash forwards to part 2 they could be part of this framing narrative

[@louisedurell9612]

Came to say the same thing 👍🏻

[@nerdaccount]

I remember reading the book thinking, how could this be a musical! Then I loved the musical. Now I feel... oh god, how can this be a movie... I hope they continue the trend!

[@dashingdreww1185]

Who is casted as Dorothy or are they doing the whole Michael Jordan in Air where we don’t see the face

[@eyezzzaza]

Dorothy’s not in wicked

[@Mr.Magic4ever]

What the hell? How did you not acknowledge Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero!?!?!?

[@nerdaccount]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@stevetayler9518]

Who?

[@aenimtz47]

And also…. It is Fiyero that becomes the scarecrow…. So idk WHAT they’re talking about with that…..

[@richardsaldana7712]

Why does no one ever remember that Pfanee and Shenshen were main characters in the novel. They were always with Galinda.

[@pink-a-palouza7888]

Those glasses that Alphaba wears is going to be sold out everywhere because the website that you can find those at also sell some really cool glasses that work out to being very OZ inspired

[@nailinthefashion]

4:09 After zooming in, I get why. They look so innocuous at a glance

[@Earendilgrey]

I get advertised those glasses almost daily on Facebook

[@roebeanstalk]

Jon M Chu kiiiilled it with In the Heights, the only thing I was nervous about was look/CGI stuff, but it all seems great. I am hyyyyyped.

[@bluebell4129]

all the sets are real, the budget is insane and if you look at the behind the scene photos all the sets are HUGE and real, and most that you see in the trailer isn’t actually CGI bc they built majority of the sets, including planting all the flowers in the field, building a real moving train, building shiz uni, building the emerald city, building the boats that take galinda to shiz and also munchkin land. they’ve taken inspiration from the wizard of oz and how that was all real sets. I truly do have a lot of faith with the cgi as most of the sets are real which is so cool !

[@projoepat]

Love the Kelly Clarkson acknowledgment, you're both the best :)

[@emperorxxxiv]

So excited to see Cynthia nail this role! 😍

[@revitalisestudios1930]

The university set and munchkin village was filmed down the road from me I’m hyped!!

[@Wickedfan219]

Awesome! I’m also so hyped for this movie! I have been waiting for this ever since they even announced that the movie was happening! 😆

i am beyond excited for wicked!! i keep rewatching the trailer and it brings such a huge smile to my face every time!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@ArielAriel089]

This is why these two are my favs! ❤ kinda need them to start a Broadway movie commentary series lol 🙏🏽

[@Shadowluigi-pj9nq]

I'm partly very, very excited for this and very nervous for it. Wicked is my favourite musical ever and if they mess it up I'm going to be very sad 😭🤣😭

[@seancarson-hull4259]

My favorite comparison of The Wizard of OZ & Wicked came from one of the creatives early in the production of Wicked. They said something to the effect of “Wicked is The Wizard of OZ if the camera was pointed just a few feet to the left.”

[@cheryljolly]

I absolutely LOVE the musical Wicked. I haven't had the good fortune to see it live, but have watched it several times on KZbin. If it were possible to wear out a downloaded album, my Wicked album would definitely be worn out. I hope the movie doesn't disappoint.

[@kimberlycarpenter9468]

the book also used the silver slippers and the yellow brick road as an allegory for US monetary policy. That was less important in the film. XD

[@SonnySkye]

I hope everyone realises that Glinda is the evil one.

[@shxmi6191]

they arent cutting any songs im so excited

[@kiraalldredge48]

I'm most excited for Jonathan Bailey, bummed there wasn't more of him in the trailer.

[@captainmarvel6632]

It’s currently playung at the Detroit Opera House!

[@Sharpe1502]

I’m excited about this. I think Cynthia Erivo is gonna be the takeaway, rightfully so.

[@Mindyhirschel]

The trailer is for both parts. So the Dorothy scene is probably still going to be in the second act (movie).

[@LegendaryHopOnBaby]

You guys are utter chaos together - I need to watch more Break Room! 😂

[@TheExhaustipatedBookworm]

Zelena (played by Rebecca Mader) from Once Upon A Time will always be my favorite Wicked Witch of the West

[@blanchedevereaux4820]

I really use to love Once Upon a Time..Too bad it ended horribly

[@TheExhaustipatedBookworm]

@@blanchedevereaux4820 I agree. The end wasn’t good. But Zelena was still iconic.

[@queencailo]

I was SO EXCITED when the trailer came on! I cannot wait to see this. Wicked was all over the place in my senior year of high school, so much so that our choir performed songs from it at graduation. It will always be one of the most important musicals for me. So I'm super ready!

[@plantsdaft]

I would love to see Jim Broadbent as Dr.Dillamond 😍😍

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

I just hope the two parts means we get all rhe songs, or at least most of them! Realistically nothing should /need/ to be cut for time. As for if anything gets added, I'm down so long as it doesn't cut back anything important.

[@ryannewberry3845]

Hollywood shanks every musical they do. Mean Girls included, so I'm not expecting much

[@Kevin-ql3wv]

That's so true. Like it looks good, but I am going to reserve my opinions until I watch the movie.

[@supme7558]

​@@Kevin-ql3wvnot at all

[@ayevince8857]

It looks good tho.. to me at least🤷🏾 let it come out first jeez lol😅

[@AnimeBronx]

ur a wrong 🤡

[@brittanyc.4540]

I love the trailer and I can’t wait to see it! *Moana 2* is going to be in deep doo-doo at the box office, lol! 🤣🤣 What’s amazing about the trailer is the cinematography is beautiful and magical as it captures the breathtaking wonders of Oz! Plus seeing Dorothy and even in the flesh made my jaw dropped, especially wearing the Silver Shoes! Yes! Book canon confirmed! I never seen *Wicked the Musical* in person but fortunately I will definitely see the movie adaptation this year!!! 😍💚😍💚😍

[@TheeNicoleJackson]

I just don't understand how this is supposed to work when Elphaba and Glenda are supposed to be the same age because they meet while they are roommates at boarding school.

[@thomassnyder8216]

From the trailer I thought it was an adaption of the book. Are they trying to do The Color Purple ploy of not letting non-musical theater nerds know it's a musical? That very much backfired for The Color Purple.

[@cutechip7098]

no babes, unlike the color purple. wicked is EXTREMELY well known as a pure broadway musical. It will not be a surprise when people see it and hear singing. Plus the trailer actually has singing in it.

[@punkrock0312]

wicked was a book first @@cutechip7098 so not purely a musical

[@Nishanth_mementomori]

What're you talking about 😂 Wicked is EXTREMELY popular even among non-musical theatre people also, the colour purple didn't have one person in the cast who was a crowd puller, Wicked has ARIANA GRANDE

[@mateovizcarra8296]

I would really hope that “Wicked” has more singing featured in the future trailers but for a teaser I think this amount is fine. As for “Color Purple,” I actually thought the trailers did put out there a lot of singing/indicators of it being a musical. Where it backfired was for “Mean Girls” because, without the acknowledgement of it being a musical, general audience members assumed it was just a pointless remake and shit on it for that.

[@gabrielmisseno]

Actually, the teaser contains scenes from both part one and part two (they filmed both parts together)… I think they did it as a presentation of Wicked for the general public, so that's why they put only Wicked on the title and not Wicked Part One

[@jacobltwells6609]

Dr.Dilamond isn’t mentioned because Idina is playing the character!!

[@maureenb2002]

The play starts at the end. That’s why the first song is “No One Mourns the Wicked” which is reprised in the finale. So that shot is probably from the beginning.

[@ShawnsterVideos]

The book is magnificent. Gregory Maguire did it up right!

[@MistbornPrincess]

I imagine the filmmakers wanted to “tell” the non-broadway audience that this is “Wizard of Oz” prequel and so showing Dorothy and co. Is the hook for them.

[@akashshetty5112]

I’m such a big musical lover. I’ve always wanted to see Wicked the Musical! Can’t wait for the movie. ❤❤❤

[@duanein3d]

WASNT EXPECTING THIS!!! THANK YOU!

[@tanyaturnbull1687]

My question is this- are they going to follow the musical or the book?? Two different tones. Two different endings.

[@kevinr.9733]

Would not be surprised if it primarily adapts and mostly keeps the tone of the musical, but brings in some elements from the book to fill some of the extra space they're getting from making it a two-parter. Though I can think of a few things from the book that they almost certainly _won't_ adapt. It's much more adult than I think most people only familiar with the musical would expect. I was certainly too young and sheltered to be reading it when I did (i.e. as a 7th- or 8th-grade Catholic school kid).

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

Wicked is gonna be peak cinema for Universal!

[@thefandomqueen88]

Yeah I think they were kind of smart leaving Boq out of this teaser because the actor and Ariana are trending for the wrong reasons but you kind of can’t leave Glinda out of the trailer for WICKED😅

[@ComeWhatMay24]

This Thanksgiving is gonna be wicked!

[@Newhorizons4u]

That advert gave me whiplash yall

"Gwenda's friennnndddd-- BESPOKE POST"

9:37 the scratch is from the lion cub. Also I noticed the title did not say “part 1” in it

[@DanceMyStyle]

I don't think they're gonna be labelled part 1 and 2 - Cynthia shared a shot of the cover for the script for the second part, and it appeared to be just called Wicked: For Good

The way I found out about this movie was from the cheating drama lmao...

[@rlmackie]

I am freaking stoked, I did not see the musical and when I wanted to Idian was leaving and all tickets sold out. I brought the soundtrack and all the books and I don’t remember a wedding that wasn’t but I do remember who Elphaba’s bio dad is 😈

[@jonathan-ov9mk]

Did yall notice the shoes have some small specs of red

[@DougerSR]

Not a trailer. This was a TEASER. We haven’t even gotten a full trailer yet

[@ThatOneGuyOverThere]

Honestly I hope that do the other books as well if this one is successful.

[@justignoremyusername]

I am also sooo excited! It really seems like universal is gonna get it right this time lol

[@punkrock0312]

first it is a book first, second Dorothy doesn't appear in the musical, third its two parts so they probably wont cut any songs

[@tfoxx17]

Can’t wait!!

[@meekthomas2789]

I didn't think I could get any more excited about this movie until I just watched you guys' reaction to the trailer🥰 This is probably the most excited I've been about a movie release EVER!

[@ccealm3]

I think the trailer is for the whole movie. So they're showing scenes from both parts.

[@cloalex5o]

i wish dove cameron got glinda but i'm still very excited for this movie

[@Luke101]

I hope they don't use the OG Oz characters too much. The original film is so iconic and even though this is it's own separate thing (silver shoes) it'd be very easy to milk the iconic imagery of the original movie

[@gamebuster4844]

I'm just concerned about this film,knowing how poorly Dear Evan Hansen and Cats gone.

[@shaneholder7074]

THIS LOOKS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD. I love The Wizard of Oz so seeing Wicked is going to be epic.

Your guys are awesome. I'm a Wicked fan.

Now we need a "The Book of Mormon" Movie.

[@tnslilboo3496]

This movie was predicted in i am legend

[@jasonkingsley9134]

If Wicked is a retelling of the original story of the witches in Oz , Then they probably read or saw the 1939 original film of the Wizard of Oz so they can name the references to put it in the film .

[@jayvansickle7607]

You're talking about....and wearing the t-shirt of the two movies I'm definitely going to the theater for this year.

[@bennettmcknight2373]

I hope they do more with the fight against animal cruelty in the movie.

[@jonathans.3324]

Wicked is my all time favorite Broadway Play! The story is amazing. It's the prequel to the Wizard of Oz. I would recommend you all see the play. You'll truly enjoy it!

[@erikagholston6610]

I need to find the book & read it again before November. I loved the stage version so I should love the movie as well.

[@erinm_4600]

I love that it has taken some look from 'Oz Great and Powerful'. Don't really care one way or the other for Ariana Grande, but the rest of the cast is amazing and I can not wait. End of the day: it's Oz; I'm in.

[@morganwren3802]

So I wonder if they put Dorothy and the originals at the beginning bc the book opens with them talking about elphaba

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

Ariana Grande being in it is enough to let you know it’s not a REAL film! 🤣

[@FoggyBadger]

I noticed that the trailer didn't say "Part 1", so I'm thinking this was an overall trailer covering both parts. Also, I think they're splitting it up to adapt both the book and the play. They cut like half the book for the play lol

[@ashesfrombones]
