Jay Lerner-Z said: "… is itlegalto listen to that? Are the creatives compensated? Should we care?"

I was simply providing information to those who do. If it bothers you that much don’t comment.

Jay Lerner-Z said: "How come the movie can’t use the ruby slippers, but can borrow so much else from the 1939 movie?"

This is sort of a weird area in which concepts that originate from Baum’s novel are fair game to use even if they overlap with the 1939 movie, but things created specifically for the 1939 movie, like the ruby slippers, are not.

As far as I recall, the Wicked movie doesn’t use anything created specifically from the 1939 movie. It has some music allusions and some recreations of shots or moments, but doesn’t lift designs etc

You girls need to stop clutching your pearls. I provided a track listing for those who may be interested in what was included. It's not as if I provided a link for everyone to download the damn thing. CTFO.

I was simply letting someone know who wanted the End Credits music know it’s out there and EASILY found with some effort. If you don’t put in the work, you ain’t gunner go far in life. Seriously. You guys truly need to learn to try harder and not just settle for the obvious shortcut, in other words, the regular release of the score."

Thank you for sharing this. Just being a fan of the film and not involved in the industry I was not aware that this was out there to find ... and you were right, it was quite easy to find once I knew to look for it. LOL

Jay Lerner-Z said: "Should we care if the creatives are compensated, I meant. You’re providing information to those thatdon’t."

The studio itself put it on a publicly available website. This isn't some dark web thing or illegally uploaded or hidden behind a password on a secret site. I don't know what compensation agreement is in place, but the studio who owns the score made it available to the public and not only a select group.

"This is going to flop hard.

It’ll have a nice first week, but most of the reviewswill be tepid (save for the two leads’ performances) and it will be overshadowed by MOANA 2 come Turkey Day."

Cynthia and Ariana's chemistry is more compelling than Ari's overall performance in the film as Glinda.

When the two of them are together in this it's really magical.

When Ari's with other characters it feels sometimes one note and definitely not as funny as the character has been onstage.

I think Ari's is just ultimately an uneven performance. Not bad per say, just inconsistent. Which I think happens if you're not used to acting that much and are more just a singer. You bring your all in certain takes or on certain days, and some days you feel out of your element.

You can tell "Popular" and "Defying Gravity" for example she was really there and in it and connected cause she knew those sequences were important and poured her heart there.

But then a dialogue scene at Shiz happens with her and you're like "eh"

It's kinda a trend you can trace in a lot of singer to movie performances from the past.

Jay Lerner-Z said: "P.S. Ariana is billed as “Ariana Grande-Butera”… does anybody ever actually call her that?"


Ariana Grande Is Credited in ‘Wicked’ as ‘Ariana Grande-Butera’ Because ‘That Was My Name When I Went to See the Show’ at 10 Years Old

“I just feel like this experience was such a homecoming for me. I feel like I came home to myself in a lot of ways, through what I learned from Glinda, from Elphaba,” Grande explained, glancing at Erivo, who was seated next to her. “And, you know, that was my name when I went to see the show when I was 10 years old. And it felt like a really lovely way of honoring that. It felt really full circle, and it just felt like something I wanted to do.”

Jay Lerner-Z said: "How nice!

Thanks, Quibbler.

For a moment I thought she’d gotten married and done that thing where female celebrities add on their husband’s name for whatever reason. Phew."

Confirmation that you do live under a rock….as I suspected.

Wicked just received 4 Golden Globe nominations in the following categories:

Best Motion Picture-Comedy/Musical
Best Actress in a Motion Picture-Comedy/Musical (Cynthia Erivo)
Best Supporting Actress in any Motion Picture (Ariana Grande)
Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award

If Jon M. Chu couldn't crack their Best Director lineup, it's looking even stronger that he won't crack the Oscar lineup.
