Lolol cause you can tell that from a dark, distant photo.

Are those even photos? They look more like concept art to me."

Just zoomed in real close on my Mac monitor and these are indeed photos. I also thought they looked like conceptual drawings.

Movies are produced with 3D ticket sales in mind. Is the camera going to be loop-de-looping around Elphaba until we get nauseous?"

maybe in 2012

^ With all due respect, dark fits well with the tone of the story. But what matters is the performances deliver as well as some spare visual splendor.

Thinking the picture of Glinda is right after Elphaba "melts". Looks like Ariana's crying in it. And the Elphaba photo, I'm assuming is Defying Gravity. These shots are GORGEOUS!

I didn't think we'd get to see anything like this so soon! Far away as they are. I think they look great, they are getting me excited! I just wonder why Glinda doesn't look like an official Good Witch here though. I would have thought she'd look more...dressed for being a magical leader than looking like she's going for an evening out. Maybe she's not in full costume.

It’s also very possible that these are promotional/hype shots from production but not stills from the actual film. The Elphaba one is harkening back to the cover art of the first two books and they’re definitely in Kiamo Ko. To those speaking to Ariana’s dress, there’s no doubt going to be multiple costumes so I wouldn’t read too much into it just yet.

I would say it’s likely Glinda will not be wearing the same dress in For Good and the finale as there’s definitely a little bit of time passing there. Maybe she wears this dress for for good and then is full “Glinda the Good” for finale. Maybe they go more with the pink Wizard of Oz movie Glinda look rather than the blue

You can see the inspiration from Billy Burke's Glinda in Ariana's.

Wow! Who is taking and releasing these photos? I wonder if this is production's way of trying to get people who are complaining about the darkness of the photos from yesterday to shut up, because those photos on set are certainly as bright and colorful as you can get.

Ahhhh - what a queen. I am already so excited about this. From what I’ve seen so far (which is, admittedly, not a ton of material), Jon’s vision for this adaptation is spot on.

I hope Erivo gets to keep that early 20th century style propaganda poster.
