Sumptuous is decidedlynot something Lear is known for."UGH! So disappointing. Hope it's the opposite when all's said and done. I'm more curious about whether they will include I Have Confidence and Something Good, and if so, whether they'll use the new Something Good lyrics written by Jack O'Brien. As for...

So exciting! I've always wanted Lincoln Center to do a revival of this show, especially after South Pacific, The King and I, and My Fair Lady! I've actually never seen a show on Broadway, but this is definitely one I'd fly to NYC to experience. I'm excited a Black actress will take on the role of Maria. Watching a Black actress play Nancy in the West End revival of Oliver! I saw last summer really brought layers to the character I hadn't noticed or thought about before.

Previews started yesterday in Phoenix! If anyone happens to attend one of the performances, please feel free to post your reaction and/or review! I’m not seeing it until later in its run.

Excited to see how much has changed! Based on a few developmental concerts and presentations that have been held for the musical over the past few years, I know there’s a new I Want Song for Danielle; a new song for Leonardo da Vinci called Experiment; Who Needs Love? has been moved to later in act one and includes a new counterpoint for Prince Henry called And Yet; Danielle has an eleven o’clock number called Tell That Girl; and there’s a new finale to the show called We Are The Once Upon A ...

Oh my goodness! The way I have been manifesting a Sound of Music revival starring Rachel Zegler! Especially since her Snow White felt like a version of Maria von Trapp, particularly her scenes with the seven dwarfs. I hope this comes to fruition!

This might be embarrassing for me to admit, but I really had no idea this man was American until the death announcement. I really thought he was English this whole time!

Not Prince Edward of Euphrania! The Slipper and the Rose is one of my comfort movies. RIP :(

It's a beautiful, delightful, and magical film! I loved it, and Rachel is spectacular. It's a colorful movie as well. I think what I loved about it the most is the structure of the movie as a musical. We get all the elements here -- opening number (that is NOT like Beauty and the Beast), an I Want song, a villain number, a love song, an eleven o'clock number, reprises, and a finale. I loved The Little Mermaid live-action remake, but I'm still mad that movie went 17 minutes before a song was e...

You did not think West Side Story would be Oscar-nominated, and then it was. Then you swore up and...

The Rachel Zegler hate is so forced and tired at this point. The world is hard on ambitious girls.

joevitus said: "Lyrics? I thought one of the reasons people were celebrating this movie is because all the songs are in there, complete."There is a montage after Popular but before Dr. Dillamond got fired where the fivesome (Elphie, Galinda, Fiyero, Nessa, and Boq) sing a reprise of Dancing Through Life that included new lyrics. This obviously got cut from the final version, but pictures of the montage are available on the internet.

BrodyFosse123 said: "This is not the shooting script but the final cut script sent out for awards consideration. This official script documents what is in the final film. The shooting script contains everything intended initially including additional material that may or may not be used, etc."Lol there are definitely scenes, lines, and lyrics in this script that got cut from the final film... Maybe take a look?

The screenplay is now available to read. These are always so interesting to see what ended up getting cut, trimmed, or changed. https://deadline.com/2024/12/wicked-movie-scirpt-read-the-screenplay-winnie-holzman-dana-fox-1236203154/

I think it looks like a magical fairy tale musical, and I'm really excited for it!

After 2 decades of waiting, I finally saw WICKED PART 1 last night! It was a beautiful film! If you're a fan of the stage musical, then this movie is for you! I just need part 2 ASAP!

It's a 2 hour and 40 minute film. We've seen maybe a combined 10 minutes at most since the Super Bowl teaser trailer launched.

I'm more excited than ever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohKjJP82xj8"Looking at the new footage makes me glad that Jon M. Chu and the crew went for a "lavish fairy-tale blockbuster" kind of look for the film. Which only makes me wonder what the other directors,whowere considered, would've gone for art direction wise."Same! I'm curious how Stephen Daldry's version would've been like!

Jeffrey Karasarides said: "degrassifan said: "Bailey is a great actor, and I've been told he's REALLY good in Wicked by a trusted friend who has seen it twice already."What did your friend think of the rest of the movie?"My friend is a big fan of Wicked and said they think if you're a fan of the show, you will love the movie. The real test is what people who know nothing about it will think. They also said it will make sense why it's split into two films once you've seen part one. Characters ...

MagicalMusical said: "Two things:So is Elphaba like Snowden?!Does anyone think Fiyero should have been Black like in the book? I don't think hehadto be Black, but I would have liked if he was, especially with the blue tattoos, too."I actually expected a POC actor to be cast as Fiyero and I remember being shocked that it was Jonathan Bailey; however, Bailey is a great actor, and I've been told he's REALLY good in Wicked by a trusted friend who has seen it twice already.

Nothing official, but apparently no songs from Act One have been cut, and the new songs are allegedly for Act Two.
