I wonder how Cynthia will land as Elphaba. We know she can sing, but what will the vibe of the movie lean into or away from, or how will her performance reflect or contrast that?
Cool Munchkinland village.

Curious what the large outdoor set is? Munchkinland? What part of the show would warrant that huge build?

There’s aerial footage of both Munchkinland and what is presumed to be Shiz University.

It's Munchkinland because you can see the yellow brick road winding out from the center of it.

I saw that, but I just thought Munchkinland doesn't factor that much into Wicked to warrant such a huge set being built.

I mean we know they’re casting a young Nessa. I’d imagine with the expansion of the story there will be a large expansion to the prologue with more bits in Munchkinland.

With the recent casting call for a young Nessarose, my assumption is that we will see some amount Elphaba’s (and Nessa’s) childhood that, if I remember correctly, takes place in Munchkinland.

I thought the same thing. But then, maybe it does in this?

A few thoughts on Munchkinland:
- The iconic catfight scene in Act 2 takes place at the start of the Yellow Brick Road.
- All of "No One Mourns the Wicked" (except for the flashback sequences) ostensibly takes place throughout Munchkinland. Same for Glinda's sections of the finale.
- With the film extending on elements of the book, maybe we'll see more of the community impact on Elphaba's father and then subsequently Nessa's reigns as governors of Munchkinland?
- Again, another question of how much more character development and detail we'll get beyond the musical, but we could learn more about Boq's backstory or life as a Munchkin.
Just some thoughts. Lots of ways I could potentially see Munchkinland being used visually throughout the films.

My only thought right now is how they'll end the first part with Defying Gravity. They're going to have to blow it out of the water to have interest for the second half.

My concern is how much they'll overblow it.
Movies are produced with 3D ticket sales in mind. Is the camera going to be loop-de-looping around Elphaba until we get nauseous?
The potential for a CGI rollercoaster makes me nervous.
I look forward to Nessa getting more story though especially in Part Two.

Yes, and that side profile doesn’t remotely look anything like Ariana (I’m sad to have the knowledge to be able to say that).
To me it looks like the actress who played Luna in the HP films but honestly who know where these fans grab photos for edits.

Also, if that was going to be one of Grande’s Glinda costumes, I would be concerned about the artistic vision for this film.

Drone footage has captured a rehearsal of the cat fight scene which takes place behind on the houses seen in the photos above.

That is almost certainly an AI-generated image. It has some of the obvious tells (weird depth of field, overly intricate details in some areas and muddy details in others, “perfect” surfaces, etc), lighting with no obvious source, etc)

Ariana proves that Kristin Chenoweth is not the only one who knows how to wear pink. And a good shade of pink too
