Surprised by the negativity posted. What I got out of it was that there are A LOT of Glindas in the world,only out for themselves, and a lot of Elphabas who learn not to trust anyone.
wait i kinda love how the text has such a stark division between the pink and green, unlike in the first movie's posters, where the pink and green gradually faded into each other. admittedly it doesn't look great, but i appreciate the symbolism of glinda and elphaba's relationship.
That's my brother's birthday. In the 50s, The Wizard of Oz was in a theater in our city, and he took me to see it. I'd never seen it before, but it was AMAZING when it turned to COLOR-Black & White TV never held that powerful punch. When the witch threw the fire @ the scarecrow, I started screaming!
Are they splitting this into two parts too? Then they split the second into two... and again and again. So we actually have an infinite number of wickeds left.

I still love the Wizard of Oz and many musicals. But I usually don't have the time to watch movies. I'm still planning to see the play hopefully by the end of the year. My all time favorite musical is West Side Story. I still cry watching it.
One more before I go. I have to say the last best musical (film) I saw was Grease. I never saw the play, but I was so surprised, it was really good. I still watch it today.
ABC/Disney came in for a rude awakening when Wicked didn't do well on Oscar night. The witch is not a likeable character even in street clothes. So I was flabergasted when CNN gave a woman who looked like her an early anchor spot. Some faces dont play well
Fascinating to me that all the marketing materials for Wicked makes it look like it's gonna be CGI slop, but then the actual first movie had so many fantastic sets, costume design, practical effects etc. This poster shows me NONE of those without even being appealing as a graphic on its own.

There were underlying tropes and lore between the witches that caused the wicked to be so?
Cool story! Still attempted murder.
I mean the “singing” - cringe.

I hope you enjoy it, tho
I have to agree, West Side Story is amazing to this day. Maybe because the music is so fantastic.
Newer musicals always feel, to me, like they just take dialogue and stick a tune to it. It's not the same.
Probably why I gave Wicked a chance.
Turning a 2 1/2 hour musical into a 5+ hour movie makes sense because… reasons?
