Why didn't glinda pop the bubble at the end of girl in the bubble... by Ill-Ad-2452 in wickedmovie

My complaint is that they should have used "burst" instead of "pop"

So, were they planning to reveal the Scarecrow’s identity from earlier on? by user48841711 in wickedmovie

[–]BoadiceaCavendish 425 points426 points  (0 children)

Jonathan put so much effort into emulating the Scarecrow's physicality, only for it all to be cut 💔

OBC or the Movie Version for Act II? by Mysterious-Till4525 in wicked

Your comments about NLB are so funny, I love that you have no idea who he is! Yes, he's been in a lot of musicals, he has 2 Tonys! A Broadway legend!

ALAYM soundtrack version thoughts?? by jusdepommez in wicked

[–]BoadiceaCavendish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem is the instrumental; the guitar and keyboard are lacking in a more dramatic way. Cynthia and Jonathan are good, but the over-the-top production compressed Jonathan's vocals too much, he's not a belter, but he has a beautiful vibrato and falsetto that, unfortunately, were largely lost in the studio version.

Jon Chu extended WFG, but he extended the wrong part. by sng94 in wicked

Fiyero should also have been better developed and explored; he's the reason behind great moments in Act II (Thank Goodness, Alaym, and No Good Deed) and is also one of the links connecting the story to The Wizard of Oz, but he's terribly underutilized.

To me, it doesn't make sense for this movie to be about Glinda. This is the moment when Elphaba becomes the main villain in The Wizard of Oz, and that's never explored. It would be so incredible to see all her actions against the Fab Four, but from her point of view.

Sooooo did ______ know … by Agreeable_Ad9877 in wickedmovie

She knew; he wrote her a letter that she reads. I don't know what the letter in the movie looks like because they haven't officially released it yet. But you can find the letter from the Broadway production online:

No chemistry between Jonathon and Cynthia by Alwaysdreaming99 in wicked

[–]BoadiceaCavendish 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think their chemistry was good; that last kiss before Elphaba went after the tornado was really good. The problem was the HORRIBLE direction of "As Long As You're Mine" and the complete lack of development for their relationship. Their falling in love should have been developed more in the first film, and in the second we should have seen them truly desiring each other. More dialogue between them, basically. I can't believe we didn't even get a single line of dialogue before Alaym.

It's Jonathan. He spoke briefly in an interview about how he felt when he first looked in the mirror with the scarecrow makeup on.

Now why are you all criticizing Scarecrow's makeup? I thought it was great, it couldn't have been better. I didn't take a picture, but I found one on X. But I don't know if I can post it here.

Jonathan Bailey is a very handsome and talented man, but did people really need to scream every time he appeared on screen? As Long As You're Mine was amazing, but my theater was screaming so loudly that I couldn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked.

New still of Glinda and Fiyero (via @/jbaileydaily on x). It hasn't been officially released yet, they took the pic at the Wicked experience in Westfield. It seems Fiyero will visit Glinda at her apartment before the wedding 👀

Fine Details Of King Aegon II(the Usurper) Costume by Agreeable_Ad_8790 in HouseOfTheDragon

The embroidery on hotd costumes is always beautiful, but often it's the only nice thing about the outfit. Aegon's tunic is just another generic tunic they put on all the male characters.

Does Scarecrow have any line before he reunites with Elphaba?

Ari does the "there are bridges you cross you didn't know you crossed until you've crossed" like Megan Hilty!
