2025-09-10 05:47:30 +0000 UTCAlso, I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, I had never seen the play before I watched this, but I noticed certain characters had certain nods to tin man and scarecrow from the original wizard of Oz. So I asked my friend after the movie and we have already met tinman and scarecrow in this movie.

2025-06-27 03:39:37 +0000 UTCI love how the guy elphaba mother is supposed to be having an affair with is supposed to be a mystery, but then they cast Jeff goldbloom, who has a very distinct voice

2025-06-26 22:53:35 +0000 UTCI know im late with this but I watched this many time on here, but I seen in an interview where Cynthia Erivo said she was sick during the emerald city scene. She had a stuffy nose and by the time she was done reading the gimmery, she almost passed out cause she put to much into it. And after she done reading it up until elphie runs away with the book, u can hear how stuffy she is if you really listen.

2025-06-26 22:44:48 +0000 UTCFirst time on Patreon with you for Wicked! I noticed that during Defying Gravity Cynthia is not only singing while in her air harness and zipping around and twisting, but also climbs about thirty steps, all while singing. That seems incredible to me! How hard is that to do?

2025-02-02 07:22:45 +0000 UTCFirst time here, does the sound usually lag behind the video?!
Gaby
2025-01-28 02:43:55 +0000 UTCWhen Audrey said "Can we have them together" talking about Elphaba and Glinda, I started thinking about when Cynthia and Ariana were on the press tour for this movie and Ariana said that Glinda was definitely a little bit in the closet
Alison Sundermier
2025-01-26 00:45:55 +0000 UTCDid anyone notice the feathers on Elphabas cape?!? It may just be the texture of the cape but it looks like feathers and aligns with her getting her “wings”!

2025-01-21 04:18:39 +0000 UTCThe Ozian Glossararium is a chapter in Wicked: The Grimmerie that details a list of words used by the citizens of Oz. It features lingo used throughout the musical Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz. https://wicked.fandom.com/wiki/Ozian_Glossararium

2025-01-19 18:45:53 +0000 UTC"a bucket of water thrown by a female child" refers to Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz... AMAZING review btw! I joined to specifically for this review! lol
Ronda Bennett
2025-01-18 19:47:39 +0000 UTCcommenting to say i wrote that before i even got to that part and heard audrey say the exact same thing XD i'm glad you caught that!
anxietyisms
2025-01-09 08:41:03 +0000 UTCif y'all watch carefully, galinda does in fact attempt to go with elphie, but she's taken hostage by the guards. she absolutely would have gone with her had they not grabbed her, despite her telling elphie that she couldn't. she was going to, but was stopped physically
anxietyisms
2025-01-09 08:32:23 +0000 UTCMadame Morrible does actually have magic! Her “specialty” is weather, hinting that it is her magic that brought Dorothy to Oz to take down Elphaba, also you may have noticed that during the first classrooom history scene, the whole silencing the animals ploy started during the Great Drought, also hinting that it was Morrible behind it

2025-01-07 16:31:37 +0000 UTCu are so gorgeous btw im so excited to watch this with u
eyecee
2025-01-07 07:08:25 +0000 UTCI think in the defying gravity scene I understood where both glinda and elphaba were coming from. Amazing movie from start to finish. Ps I totally ship Gelphie.

2025-01-07 05:22:05 +0000 UTCShe was on Broadway in 13 the musical even before that in her early teens as well
Shani Gribben
2025-01-05 23:44:38 +0000 UTCI know I had that thought too. How funny would it have been if Lea played Elphaba.
Turnip Crazy
2025-01-05 20:13:37 +0000 UTCYes people know she's not exactly a hidden figure
Kara Michelle
2025-01-05 19:33:51 +0000 UTCUnless she’s gonna have her shine in part 2 probably during the hunt for the witch song

2025-01-05 04:33:25 +0000 UTCI love that Rachel Berry’s mom and dad are both in this 😂
Kristin Baylor
2025-01-04 17:18:17 +0000 UTCSo good! I was not disappointed. Well maybe a little disappointed with the omission of “So, what’s the most swankified place in town? That’d be the Ozdust Ballroom. Sounds perfect!” 😂
Kristin Baylor
2025-01-04 16:09:22 +0000 UTCI don't know. On Glinda's side I'd say yes, but Elphaba I don't know. I don't know if she wants to be with Glinda. A reason I'd want them to be life long friends is that then Elphaba can keep her first and only friend. Of course they get separated anyways, but I feel what's best for Elphaba personally is to have Glinda as a friend and sister. We know that ever her real sister doesn't love her like a true sister.
Turnip Crazy
2025-01-04 15:42:27 +0000 UTCI have to say. Ariana and Cynthia are the perfect leads. They give me leading man and woman vibes even tho they are women. I swear i thought this was a enemies to lovers to star crossed lovers story. They both give this yearning energy. Idk.
PamRenea
2025-01-04 14:16:04 +0000 UTCYou totally missed the "medium rare books" line! lol you would have laughed at it for sure
Kat
2025-01-04 07:40:40 +0000 UTCNot sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Ariana Grande was on two Nickelodeon tv shows before/as her music career was starting to take off.
Madeline Jensen
2025-01-04 04:47:35 +0000 UTCI just finished watching. That was marvelous, Audrey! I'm so glad I got to share this moment with you (even if it was in a replay).
Tema Krempley
2025-01-03 23:50:31 +0000 UTCThere are so many cameos and breadcrumbs in this first part about what is coming in part 2. But all of the grimorie book and Elphaba backstory is new for the movie. I wonder what we get in part 2, other than the 2 new songs? Fun fact, Cynthia Erivo cowrote her new song for part 2. She said everyone cried when they filmed it. Ahhhhh!
Donald Cribbs
2025-01-03 23:03:01 +0000 UTCMy only note for Director Jon M Chu is under using Keala Settle's singing voice in Wicked Part 1, as Shiz Headmistress. She was the Bearded Lady in Greatest Showman for crying out loud!
Donald Cribbs
2025-01-03 22:52:34 +0000 UTCgelphie is the is the most common ship already. And ari & cynthia are the biggest shippers that’s for sure 😭
Majd_7
2025-01-03 20:48:51 +0000 UTCElphaba does use the spell to fly in the stage musical, “well where are your wings?” is in all the bootleg versions of Defying Gravity I listen to.
Jasmine Levy
2025-01-03 19:32:51 +0000 UTCIdk if it was the high emotions we had just gone through with defying gravity but I actually laughed at the coffee spill. I think it was a much needed & unexpected comedic break 🤣
Lexi Shelton
2025-01-03 19:22:08 +0000 UTCSo glad I watched til the end because the whole video I was thinking man when did Audrey's hair get so long?? And then you're like "I'm gonna hunt for mosquitos but first let me take off my wig" and I was like ☝🏽️ aaahhh 😂😂

2025-01-03 07:36:03 +0000 UTCThe way they get each other and support each other is so beautiful. I love this clip so much!! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYvjWfQq/

2025-01-03 05:42:26 +0000 UTCTheir interviews have been amazing. This one of Cynthia explaining the meaning of the Gravity moment with the younger version 😭😭: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DC2JSGfxKs8/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

2025-01-03 05:26:42 +0000 UTCHow did I never notice that Glinda has a GREEN hair clip in Defying Gravity
Shani Gribben
2025-01-03 05:24:56 +0000 UTCSO SO good!! Huge Wicked fan and so thrilled with how this turned out. Loved watching your reaction! The connection between Cynthia and Ari is perfection—love watching them in interviews. Been watching some of the bonus content (love it!!) and one thing they said that I didn’t realize in Wizard & I is that she is constantly ascending through the song (physically) even without flying. Thought that was cool. And of course the birds flying over the rainbow part 🥹
Andrea
2025-01-03 05:22:08 +0000 UTCyou should react to cynthia erivo singing alfie

Shani Gribben
2025-01-03 04:59:55 +0000 UTCThe forest is a real forest that they grew for the movie. Apparently birds moved in without anyone noticing until Cynthia started singing and the birds joined in
Shani Gribben
2025-01-03 04:43:44 +0000 UTCLoved your reaction Audrey! This was my 3rd time watching it since it released on Digital! I have yet to watch it without crying! Can't wait to rewatch The Wizard Of Oz with you!
Josh Middleton
2025-01-03 04:25:30 +0000 UTCElphaba was a student in the show, that’s just a small tweak
Shani Gribben
2025-01-03 03:24:24 +0000 UTCFair warning, the book is far more R-rated than the musical. Also there’s actually 4 books but the musical only follows the first one. Though it leaves out the scene where Glinda and Elphaba kiss

2025-01-03 02:39:35 +0000 UTCI wasn't paying attention and didn't know this was coming out today! I went and watched it in a theater for the third time, like 4 hours ago, hahaha. I'm watching it again. So pumped for Audrey to see it finally!!!!
Jonathan Felux
2025-01-03 02:31:43 +0000 UTCOmg I thought there was like some sort of catastrophe happening outside of your home in the beginning of the breakdown of defying gravity 🤣😭 that scared me!!! Lmaooo
Brianna
2025-01-03 02:22:55 +0000 UTCGosh I am so so emotional 😭😭😭 truly one of the best movies I’ve seen in years. So lucky to have it on streaming now 🥹🩷💚

2025-01-02 23:35:55 +0000 UTCJust started the video and so excited to watch! Also, love that you are ALREADY planning a rewatch 🤣💚🩷
Brianna
2025-01-02 23:26:39 +0000 UTCI never really expected to relate to Elphaba as much as I did. As a huge animal lover especially I probably spent like half the movie sobbing lmao. I would have chosen to help them as well.
Jennifer Lawrence
2025-01-02 23:04:06 +0000 UTCThis was everything I’ve been waiting for! Thank you for watching this with us! 💖💚
Sunny
2025-01-02 22:23:06 +0000 UTCSomething I found that seems to work is if you click back a few second on the video it seems to resync. Maybe with the new format of recording videos prolonged videos can cause a desync, so you need to reset it in a way.
Turnip Crazy
2025-01-02 20:20:13 +0000 UTCI'm noticing that too. It was fine at first but then around The Wizard and I it was slightly off.

2025-01-02 19:57:02 +0000 UTCU should do more Ariana live performances
iloveariana
2025-01-02 19:50:17 +0000 UTCMaybe it’s been fixed. Will check again. I noticed other commenters noticed it too.

2025-01-02 19:47:36 +0000 UTCI wish your voice was just a little louder. Especially during the musical numbers it’s hard to hear your comments:(

2025-01-02 17:55:04 +0000 UTCThe audio is not synched to the film or to you at all I’m not sure if you guys know.
Monica Torres
2025-01-02 17:03:45 +0000 UTCSo exciting! I’m only like 10 minutes in. idk if it’s fixable but the movie is so loud that I can hardly hear what you’re saying when you talk.
Elizabeth
2025-01-02 14:52:21 +0000 UTCI’ll watch when I get home. That way I can enjoy it properly with popcorn in my pjs on my chaise.
Tema Krempley
2025-01-02 14:40:33 +0000 UTCOh you live streamed... I was wondering why it was so long LOL. I think that the decision for them to all wear slight variations of the uniform (Nessa and Boq) or total deviations (Glinda, Elphaba, Fiyero) is a great way to single them out as independent or different. Glinda wouldn't wear what everyone else wears - but neither would Elphaba. It shows how they are individualistic but in different ways. Can't wait for Part 2! I knew I'd love Cynthia but honestly, Ariana blew me away in her comedic timing.
Danielle
2025-01-02 14:13:37 +0000 UTCSo excited for this
