00:00:00From trailer clues to long-awaited answers, today we are diving broom first with a look
00:00:08at everything you can expect from Wicked Part 2. And we're starting with the biggest burning
00:00:14questions that Wicked for Good is set to answer.
00:00:18Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the plot points and character
00:00:33developments that will be addressed in Wicked Part 2. We wouldn't want you to be devastated
00:00:38by spoilers, and there are some big ones, so this is your warning.
00:00:48The short answer is yes. While the show doesn't specify a time frame, Gregory Maguire's novel
00:01:10suggests it's been about 5 years. By now, Glinda is widely known as Glinda the Good, leaving
00:01:15her shiz days far behind. It's good to see me, isn't it?
00:01:19There's no reason the musical shouldn't follow this timeline, too. In fact, March of the Witch
00:01:23Hunters hints at a time shift.
00:01:25And the lion also has a grievance to repay. If she let him fight his own battles when he
00:01:31was young, he wouldn't be a coward today!
00:01:35So where's Elphaba been all this time? Well, as we know, she's a fervent animal activist
00:01:41who had just learned that the wizard was behind their oppression. So after she flies
00:01:45away, she fully commits to her role as their defender.
00:01:48And it sort of becomes this really beautiful, unselfish crusade to help the animals.
00:01:54Oh.
00:01:56Act 2's opening number, thank goodness, catches us up on what's happened. Well, at least one
00:02:01version of the story.
00:02:02Kill us morning, where will she strike next?
00:02:06Number 9. Who was Elphaba's mom's mystery man?
00:02:10And, like every family, they had their secrets.
00:02:16Have another drink, my dark god beauty, I've got one more night left here in town.
00:02:22In the opening number, No One Mourns the Wicked, Glinda tries to garner some compassion for Elphaba.
00:02:28Are people born wicked?
00:02:31Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?
00:02:36In a flashback to before she was born, we learn that her mother wasn't entirely faithful to her
00:02:41father. Both on stage and in the movie, the identity of this mystery lover remains a secret,
00:02:46though his green elixir likely explains why Elphaba was born green.
00:02:50Like a froggy, ferny cabbage, the baby is unnaturally green.
00:02:56If you haven't yet figured out who he is, all will be revealed near the end of part 2,
00:03:03if the movie stays true to the show. We won't give it away, but if you've been paying attention,
00:03:08much like the yellow brick road, all the clues will lead you to the answer.
00:03:12Number 8. What happened to Dr. Dillamond?
00:03:15Listen to me! You're not being told the whole story!
00:03:19You can't permit this.
00:03:20I'm afraid he's out of our hands.
00:03:21The last time we saw Shiz's history professor, he was warning his students while being dragged from
00:03:26his classroom. Before that, we saw his efforts to raise awareness about the plight of animals
00:03:31and meeting with colleagues to discuss the something bad happening across Oz.
00:03:35The animals are now being blamed for everything that goes wrong.
00:03:40After he's replaced, the students are shown how the regime plans to use cages to strip animals of
00:03:45their equality. In Act 2, Elphaba returns to the Emerald City to free the flying monkeys,
00:03:51but the wizard intervenes and tries to convince her they'd still make a wonderful team.
00:03:55They call me!
00:04:00What?
00:04:01So I am one!
00:04:03In fact, it's so much who I am, it's part of my name, and with my help, you can't be the same.
00:04:14She's almost swayed until she finds her old professor, whose condition makes her even more
00:04:19adamant to take down the wizard.
00:04:20You have no real power!
00:04:22Exactly. That's why I need you.
00:04:25Number 7. Will there be any new songs?
00:04:29That's gonna be a moment. I'm not that girl, please.
00:04:31It's kind of, emotionally.
00:04:33Let's go on.
00:04:35Part 1 featured some lyric changes and a new section in one short day,
00:04:39but the soundtrack largely remained the same as fans know it.
00:04:42Dancing through life, mindless and careless.
00:04:46Make sure you're wireless when you're dancing through life.
00:04:53Composer Stephen Schwartz wrote new songs for Part 1, but they were ultimately deemed unnecessary.
00:04:58However, he confirmed that Part 2 will include two new songs, which he felt were, quote,
00:05:04dramatically necessary.
00:05:05I was gonna name them.
00:05:06Oh, really?
00:05:07Yeah.
00:05:07I don't know them, nor have I ever heard them.
00:05:09Have you not?
00:05:10No, have you?
00:05:10Were you in those scenes?
00:05:12No, I'm not in the scene.
00:05:13No, I'm not in the scene.
00:05:13It's your act between Fierro and the Wizard.
00:05:15My name's Oz.
00:05:16And my name's Fierro.
00:05:18And my name's the Wizard.
00:05:19Director John M. Chu clarified that these songs will likely be added to the existing soundtrack,
00:05:25as he doesn't plan to cut any of the original score.
00:05:28That said, he noted the importance of pacing in staying true to, quote,
00:05:31the sanctity of the show.
00:05:33Meaning some songs might have updated lyrics or be rearranged to better fit the story.
00:05:38Number 6.
00:05:39The End.
00:05:40Does Elphaba get melted?
00:05:41If before watching part 1, all you knew of these characters was from The Wizard of Oz,
00:05:51you might be thinking,
00:05:53oh no, I don't want Elphaba to melt.
00:05:55But yes, that iconic moment had to make its way into the show.
00:05:58Only this time, it's more bittersweet.
00:06:01Before that, Elphaba has Dorothy captive.
00:06:03Glinda shows up to warn her of trouble ahead and tries to convince her to free the girl.
00:06:08After Elphaba gets a mysterious letter,
00:06:10she urges Glinda to back off to protect herself.
00:06:13They say goodbye, for good, and Glinda watches her friend melt.
00:06:17As for the Wizard, Elphaba might not be the one who stops him,
00:06:20but let's just say it's no coincidence he's so eager to escort Dorothy home.
00:06:24You forced me into a cataclysmic decision.
00:06:27The only way to get Dorothy back to Kansas is for me to take her there myself.
00:06:31Number 5.
00:06:32How does Glinda become Glinda the Good?
00:06:34It is my heart's desire to become a sorceress.
00:06:37Seriously?
00:06:37In part 1, Glinda dreams of becoming a sorceress,
00:06:41but Madame Horrible has little faith in her and doesn't seem to like her much either.
00:06:45You.
00:06:46Come with me.
00:06:48Of course.
00:06:48Not you.
00:06:50You.
00:06:53You're the one the Wizard has been waiting for.
00:06:56She only agrees to mentor Glinda at Elphaba's request.
00:06:59By the end of part 1, though, she seemingly changes her tune,
00:07:03comforting Glinda as Elphaba flies away.
00:07:05In part 2, we discover that this was all part of her plan to win Glinda over.
00:07:09She's using these two girls to her endgame.
00:07:13It's when you suddenly realize, oh no, the mother figure is not what she thinks.
00:07:19During Thank Goodness, she fabricates a story about how Glinda reached her position.
00:07:23When you bowed before his throne, he decreed you'd hence be known as Glinda the Good officially.
00:07:32Glinda knows she doesn't deserve it, but remains silent in the face of injustice and lies.
00:07:38While she starts part 2 as Glinda the Good, her story is about truly earning that title.
00:07:43Number 4.
00:07:44Does the Elphaba, Fierro, and Glinda love triangle develop?
00:07:47We didn't see you there. You must have blended with the foliage.
00:07:52Is this how you go through life? Just running amok and trampling anyone in your path?
00:07:57No.
00:07:59No. Sometimes I'm asleep.
00:08:01When Fierro first shows up at Chiz, he and Glinda seem like the perfect couple.
00:08:05But as he gets to know Elphaba, he starts seeing the world differently and is strawstruck by her.
00:08:10I see that the responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me.
00:08:15You pretend to be shallow and self-absorbed.
00:08:19Uh, excuse me. There is no pretense here. I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow.
00:08:23Oh, did we say straw? Can't imagine why.
00:08:26Maybe I'm rainless, maybe I'm wise, but you've got me seeing through different eyes.
00:08:41Anyway, Elphaba feels the spark too, but he's dating her bestie, so, you know, awkward.
00:08:47When he comes to see Elphaba off to the Emerald City, even Glinda senses their chemistry.
00:08:52Act 2 opens with a surprise engagement party, where Fierro refuses to let lies about Elphaba slide
00:08:58and makes it his mission to find her.
00:09:00Our hearts soared when they reunited, but we ached for Glinda as she realizes she's not Batgirl.
00:09:06Wishing only moves the heart.
00:09:12No. 3. How does Nessa Rose become the Wicked Witch of the East?
00:09:16That perfectly adorable munchkin boy just asked me out.
00:09:20How does sweet, unassuming Nessa Rose become the tyrannical leader of Munchkinland?
00:09:25Much of this is explored in the song Wicked Witch of the East,
00:09:28which was omitted from the soundtrack for being too content-heavy.
00:09:31We learn that Nessa is resentful of Elphaba for not using her magic to help her.
00:09:35Elphaba does find a way, enchanting her shoes,
00:09:39which explains why she's so obsessed with getting them back from Dorothy later.
00:09:42Give me back my slippers. I am the only one that knows how to use them.
00:09:46They're no use to you. Give them back to me. Give them back.
00:09:50Keep tight inside of them. Their magic must be very powerful,
00:09:53or she wouldn't want them so badly.
00:09:55You stay out of this, Glinda.
00:09:56Meanwhile, Nessa realizes Boxheart isn't tin in their relationship,
00:10:00so she abuses her power to force him to stay.
00:10:03Yet when he decides to pursue Glinda, Nessa tries to cast a love spell,
00:10:07but the results aren't exactly what she had in mind.
00:10:10So for once, I'm glad I'm heartless. I'll be heartless killing her.
00:10:15Number 2. Do Elphaba and Glinda ever reunite?
00:10:18It will maybe
00:10:19that we will never meet again
00:10:24in this lifetime.
00:10:27Yes, they do, but not under the best circumstances.
00:10:30Glinda's fiancé leaves her for Elphaba,
00:10:33and her retaliation is unintentionally crushing.
00:10:36Then Glinda gives away Nessa's shoes.
00:10:38This scene sets Elphaba on her path
00:10:40to fully embrace the title of Wicked Witch.
00:10:43Her promise no good deed
00:10:44Will I attempt to do what I am?
00:10:50No good deed
00:10:52Will I do?
00:10:56But don't worry, this isn't the last time they cross paths.
00:10:59When Glinda realizes she's been manipulated,
00:11:01she rushes to warn Elphaba about the angry mob headed her way.
00:11:05This all ties into For Good,
00:11:07which is the emotional heart of their story.
00:11:09The friends say their final goodbyes,
00:11:11acknowledging the profound impact they've had on each other.
00:11:14And now whatever way our stories end,
00:11:19All we're saying is make sure you're well-stocked on tissues for this moment.
00:11:31Number 1
00:11:32How does it connect with the plot of The Wizard of Oz?
00:11:36Fellow Ozians,
00:11:37The Wicked Witch of the West is dead.
00:11:40The opening scene of Part 1 takes us to the aftermath of Elphaba's melting,
00:11:43with Glinda confirming the events as we know them to her fellow Ozians.
00:11:47In the trailer, you can spot Dorothy and her companions on the yellow brick road,
00:11:52heading toward the Emerald City.
00:11:53Pay attention to what Dorothy's holding.
00:11:56But if we do that, we'll have to kill her to get it.
00:11:59As we saw in Act 2, Dorothy has crash-landed in Oz
00:12:02and skipped off to see the wizard in those magical slippers.
00:12:05Another teaser shows Dorothy in her audience with the wizard
00:12:08as he orders,
00:12:09Bring her to me.
00:12:10Fans of The Wizard of Oz will see the story they know play out in Part 2,
00:12:14but from a totally thrillifying and scandalicious new perspective.
00:12:18What else are you hoping to see in Wicked Part 2?
00:12:20If there are no further questions, I'm gonna go.
00:12:25When the first trailer dropped for Wicked For Good,
00:12:29fans were spellbound.
00:12:31And rightfully so.
00:12:33Check out this breakdown of the film's first tease.
00:12:37I have been changed for good.
00:12:42But only one that mattered.
00:12:44Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:12:46And today, we're breaking down our return trip to Oz
00:12:48with the first trailer for Wicked For Good.
00:12:51We're discussing plot points from the stage show and The Wizard of Oz,
00:12:54so if you haven't seen either, especially in their entirety,
00:12:58be gone before somebody drops some spoilers on you.
00:13:01This is between us, the wizard, and I.
00:13:05Remember Part 1?
00:13:07Since there's nearly a year between Part 1 and For Good,
00:13:10it makes sense that the new trailer is starting to connect a few dots,
00:13:14especially things we glimpsed in the first movie,
00:13:16or just in the trailers so far.
00:13:18Take that crack in Glinda's window right at the start of the trailer.
00:13:21It tips her off that Elphaba's nearby.
00:13:24Elphaba Throb, I know you're out here.
00:13:27Just come in before the monkeys spot you.
00:13:29Whoa!
00:13:32But how would she know it's her?
00:13:34Remember, we've seen that crack before,
00:13:37and it's pretty much identical.
00:13:39You know, I asked really nicely,
00:13:40and I saved you this whole door.
00:13:41I don't know.
00:13:42I've never known.
00:13:53There.
00:13:54Enjoy the air.
00:13:55We also get a glimpse of the Munchkins putting up the
00:14:03Beware the Wicked Witch poster we saw during No One Mourns the Wicked,
00:14:06followed by Glinda looking like she's about to address the crowd
00:14:09after Elphaba's melting.
00:14:12If you've seen the stage show,
00:14:13you'll know this brings us to our full circle moment.
00:14:16Then there's that shot of Elphaba's hand on the yellow bricks,
00:14:19which has been teased before.
00:14:21Now we know how the famous brick road got its color.
00:14:24Recently, I've gotten a little stuck
00:14:25trying to figure out what color the bricks of that road ought to be.
00:14:28So I jerry-rigged this thing up, which does that.
00:14:34Elphaba, you give that a whirl.
00:14:37Sure.
00:14:37Um, let's try.
00:14:41What about green?
00:14:44Hmm?
00:14:45Um, yellow?
00:14:48Maybe purple?
00:14:49Wait, just go back one, please.
00:14:53The yellow relay?
00:14:54Yes.
00:14:55Huh.
00:14:56It just says road to me.
00:14:58What is it?
00:14:59Huh.
00:15:00And, oh, yellow brick road.
00:15:04I don't know.
00:15:05So we imagine this is when Elphaba first returns to the Emerald City,
00:15:08or perhaps Munchkinland,
00:15:10and sees that at least the wizard was true to his word about something.
00:15:13No one believed in you more than I did.
00:15:18Elphaba.
00:15:18We already know Elphaba and Glinda end up going their separate ways.
00:15:23And while we're not spoiling how or why,
00:15:25their friendship definitely hits a bump in part two.
00:15:28So the moment where we see Elphaba pick up the brochure Glinda gave her
00:15:31before she left for the Emerald City stings just a bit.
00:15:35It's a reminder that no matter what happens,
00:15:37they'll always have a handprint on the other's heart.
00:15:40And the fact that it's followed by a clip of For Good makes it hit even harder.
00:15:43But more on that later.
00:15:45I know I'm who I am today
00:15:48Because I knew you
00:15:51Oh, and that poppy field scene with Elphaba and Glinda.
00:15:56Remember, we've seen that before.
00:15:58Turns out it's part of a longer deleted scene.
00:16:01We still don't know exactly where it fits,
00:16:03but with two new songs written for the film,
00:16:06it's a safe bet it's tied to one of them.
00:16:08It's time for both of us to fly!
00:16:14Storyline and plot points
00:16:15It will be nearly impossible to keep this part completely spoiler-free,
00:16:20so if you're not familiar with act two of Wicked,
00:16:22you may want to skip ahead.
00:16:25There's no going back.
00:16:26One thing part one did brilliantly
00:16:28was fleshing out some of the stage show's most memorable beats.
00:16:31And it looks like we're getting more of that in For Good,
00:16:34especially in those new shots of Elphaba in the forest.
00:16:37While it might be part of No Good Deed,
00:16:39it also seems like a continuation of what we saw back in her shiz days.
00:16:43Except now, instead of learning magic in the classroom,
00:16:46she's mastering the Grimmery in Exile.
00:16:49Once you learn to harness your emotion,
00:16:54the sky's the limit.
00:16:56It could lead you to the wizard himself.
00:17:00We also know that Elphaba's primary goal was to free the animals.
00:17:04My heart's desire is for you to help the animals.
00:17:08Something bad is happening to them, and they need you.
00:17:11I had a feeling you were going to say that.
00:17:13And I agree wholeheartedly.
00:17:16Yeah, wow, it's the darndest thing.
00:17:18It's almost like I, uh...
00:17:19I already know you.
00:17:23I knew you'd understand.
00:17:25That makes me...
00:17:27That makes me so happy.
00:17:28Well, that's what I want best.
00:17:31Making people happy.
00:17:35Indeed, we see her surrounded by flying monkeys,
00:17:38who, as anyone who's seen the show knows,
00:17:40was her first real success in standing up to the wizard.
00:17:43Another shot shows a crowd of animals charging out of the palace,
00:17:47possibly just released from captivity.
00:17:49Depending on where this falls in the story,
00:17:51there's a chance Glinda's the one who makes it happen
00:17:54as a final tribute to her friend.
00:17:55Or, and hear us out,
00:17:57are those the same pink flowers from Glinda and Fierro's wedding?
00:18:01Perhaps Elphaba does succeed in freeing some animals,
00:18:04and their stampede through the palace
00:18:05is what stops anyone from saying I do.
00:18:08I just wish I could...
00:18:10What?
00:18:11You wish what?
00:18:14I wish there was something I could do,
00:18:15because no one...
00:18:17No one...
00:18:19Do what?
00:18:20What?
00:18:21No one should be scorned,
00:18:26or laughed at,
00:18:29or looked down upon,
00:18:34or told to stop jabbering,
00:18:37and keep...
00:18:39The Elphaba and Glinda friendship
00:18:52still feels deliberately underplayed in this trailer.
00:18:55I've heard it said
00:18:56that people come into our lives
00:19:00for a reason.
00:19:07I know I'm who I am today
00:19:10because I knew you.
00:19:15There are brief glimpses,
00:19:17but they're keeping most of that dynamic
00:19:18close to the chest for now.
00:19:20What does get more screen time
00:19:22is the love triangle
00:19:23between Elphaba, Glinda, and Fierro.
00:19:25For a while there,
00:19:26I thought you changed.
00:19:28I have changed.
00:19:29That image of Glinda in a wedding dress
00:19:31from the part one teaser is back,
00:19:33and still raises as many questions now
00:19:35as it did back then.
00:19:36There's a sense that the film
00:19:37might be expanding on this moment
00:19:39in a way that complicates
00:19:40what we thought we knew.
00:19:41Cause getting your dreams
00:19:43It's strange, but it seems
00:19:45A little, well
00:19:47Complicated
00:19:49There's a kind of
00:19:52A sort of
00:19:53Cost
00:19:54There's a couple
00:19:57Things get
00:19:59Lost
00:20:00There are bridges
00:20:03You cross
00:20:03You didn't know
00:20:05You crossed
00:20:06Until you crossed
00:20:08And if that joy
00:20:14That thrill
00:20:16Doesn't thrill
00:20:19Like you think
00:20:20It will
00:20:22Still
00:20:23With this
00:20:25Perfect finale
00:20:26The cheers
00:20:27In the valley
00:20:28Who
00:20:28Who
00:20:30Wouldn't be happier
00:20:32Fierro's body language
00:20:34at the altar
00:20:35says a lot.
00:20:36Is this actually happening
00:20:38or is it a fantasy sequence?
00:20:40We'd say the footage
00:20:41in the trailer
00:20:41strongly supports
00:20:42our earlier theory
00:20:43But we guess
00:20:44We'll have to wait
00:20:45And see
00:20:45There's also that
00:20:47Intense scene
00:20:47Where Fierro
00:20:48Now fully part
00:20:49Of the wizard's guard
00:20:50Confronts Elphaba
00:20:51With a gun
00:20:52Then he turns it
00:20:54And we see
00:20:54Who he points it at
00:20:55Next
00:20:56It's a huge reveal
00:20:57For them to include here
00:20:58Especially given
00:20:59How much the story
00:21:00Hinges on that
00:21:01Particular shift
00:21:02Clearly they're
00:21:03Trusting the audience
00:21:04To either already know
00:21:05Or be intrigued
00:21:06Enough not to mind
00:21:07I think about that day
00:21:08A lot
00:21:09So do I
00:21:11Oh me too
00:21:19Oh me too
00:21:21Me too
00:21:21The for good scene
00:21:23Makes a brief
00:21:24But emotional appearance
00:21:25Too
00:21:25Which is fitting
00:21:26Since the film
00:21:27Takes its title
00:21:28From that song
00:21:28Also the trailer
00:21:30Shows how everything
00:21:31Circles back
00:21:31To where the story
00:21:32Began
00:21:33One notable absence
00:21:34Here is
00:21:35Nessa Rose and
00:21:36Bach
00:21:36Well the latter
00:21:37Is debatable
00:21:38See that tragically
00:21:39Beautiful girl
00:21:41The one in the chair
00:21:43It seems so unfair
00:21:46We should go on a spree
00:21:48And not she
00:21:49Gee
00:21:50I know someone
00:21:51Would be my hero
00:21:53If that someone
00:21:54Were
00:21:55To go invite her
00:21:59Well
00:22:01Maybe I could invite her
00:22:03Oh Vic
00:22:05Really
00:22:06You would do that
00:22:08For me
00:22:09I would do anything
00:22:14For you
00:22:15Their storyline
00:22:16Comes to a head
00:22:17In the Wicked Witch
00:22:18Of the East
00:22:18Which was famously
00:22:19Left off the original
00:22:20Broadway cast recording
00:22:21Because it gave away
00:22:22Too much
00:22:23The trailer seems
00:22:24To be following
00:22:25The same logic
00:22:26It's possible
00:22:27They'll show up
00:22:27More later
00:22:28Just like they did
00:22:29With the last set
00:22:30Of trailers
00:22:31Father this is
00:22:32Bach
00:22:32The boy I wrote
00:22:33To you about
00:22:33Oh yes
00:22:35Governor Throp
00:22:36Good to meet you
00:22:37Oh I've heard
00:22:38So much about you
00:22:39My Nessa Rose
00:22:41Is very precious
00:22:42To me
00:22:42So you see
00:22:44You take good
00:22:44Care of her
00:22:45I understand
00:22:49Good
00:22:51Over the rainbow
00:22:54Act 2
00:22:55Is where
00:22:56The Wizard of Oz
00:22:56And Wicked
00:22:57Finally collide
00:22:58And the trailer
00:22:59Is already
00:22:59Giving us
00:23:00Glimpses
00:23:00Of that
00:23:01I'm off
00:23:01To see
00:23:01The Wizard
00:23:02We've already
00:23:08Seen Dorothy's
00:23:09Silver shoes
00:23:10And her visit
00:23:10To the wizard
00:23:11With her companions
00:23:12This time though
00:23:13We get more
00:23:14From what looks
00:23:15Like the start
00:23:15Of her yellow brick road
00:23:16Journey out of
00:23:17Munchkinland
00:23:18To a proper look
00:23:19At at least
00:23:19One of her friends
00:23:20Bring me
00:23:21The lion's
00:23:26Clearly a bit
00:23:26Trembly
00:23:27Where have we
00:23:27Seen that before
00:23:28But the real
00:23:29Moment for fans
00:23:30Is the scarecrow
00:23:31Or at least
00:23:31What we can see
00:23:32Of him
00:23:33Just take a second
00:23:34To clock his outfit
00:23:35It shows up
00:23:36More than once
00:23:36That's all we're saying
00:23:38I've been thinking
00:23:39Yeah
00:23:40I heard
00:23:41Of course
00:23:42Dorothy travels
00:23:43To Oz
00:23:43Via Tornado
00:23:44And here
00:23:45We actually
00:23:45See it take form
00:23:46Or should we say
00:23:48Conjured up
00:23:48By Madame Morrible
00:23:50She did say
00:23:51Weather was her specialty
00:23:52Not to fret
00:23:53Weather is my specialty
00:23:55Mustn't let you get wet
00:24:00Thank you
00:24:02That's when you're on
00:24:14The cusp
00:24:15Of greatness
00:24:16Another familiar moment
00:24:20Comes with Elphaba
00:24:21Writing warnings
00:24:22In the sky
00:24:22It's a brilliant nod
00:24:24To the Wizard of Oz
00:24:25And a reminder
00:24:26That when Elphaba
00:24:26Has something to say
00:24:28The sky's the limit
00:24:29Literally
00:24:30It's the witch
00:24:31She's followed us here
00:24:32Surrender
00:24:33Dorothy
00:24:34Dorothy
00:24:37Who's Dorothy
00:24:38The wizard will explain it
00:24:39Who's the wizard
00:24:40Who's the wizard
00:24:41Here
00:24:41Whatever shall we do
00:24:43Well we better hurry
00:24:44If we're gonna see the wizard
00:24:45But it's not just
00:24:46The Wizard of Oz
00:24:47That's being honored here
00:24:48Glinda's bubble
00:24:49Makes a grand return
00:24:50And though it's a quick shot
00:24:52It looks like her reunion
00:24:53With Elphaba
00:24:54Could be set at Kiyamoko
00:24:55Which as fans of the novel
00:24:57Or show know
00:24:58Is Fiyero's family castle
00:25:00We also get a brief glimpse
00:25:01Of Glinda holding the grimmery
00:25:03Which we know Elphaba
00:25:04Eventually gives to her
00:25:05In the emotional crux
00:25:06Of the story
00:25:07And now whatever way
00:25:09Our stories end
00:25:12Oh you have rewritten mine
00:25:15By being my friend
00:25:19Like a ship blown from its mooring
00:25:23By a wind off the sea
00:25:26Like the sea dropped by a skybird
00:25:30In a distant world
00:25:33Who can say if I've been changed
00:25:38For the better
00:25:39But because I knew you
00:25:42Because I knew you
00:25:46I have been changed for good
00:25:51Glinda's dresses also deserve a moment
00:25:53Paul Tazewell's work continues to be stunning
00:25:56But the costume choices
00:25:57May also hint at a slightly different timeline
00:26:00Than what we've seen on stage
00:26:01Musical moments
00:26:03Okay
00:26:04Now let's put a little music
00:26:05In this movie musical
00:26:06Not even 30 seconds in
00:26:08And we're already hit
00:26:09With our first taste of no good deed
00:26:11And it's just enough
00:26:12To send a chill
00:26:13Straight down our spine
00:26:14This is between us
00:26:19The wizard
00:26:20And I
00:26:21It's one of a handful of songs
00:26:23We hear in the trailer
00:26:24But that doesn't mean
00:26:26The musical moments stop there
00:26:27If you've watched this trailer
00:26:29On loop
00:26:29Like some of us
00:26:30Hi
00:26:30You've probably started
00:26:32Matching visuals
00:26:33To the act 2 numbers
00:26:34We know by heart
00:26:35The wonderful wizard of Oz
00:26:43No one believed in you
00:26:46More than I did
00:26:47Elphaba
00:26:50They're coming for you
00:26:53There's a shot of Fierro
00:26:55Leading the guards
00:26:55That feels very
00:26:56Thank goodness adjacent
00:26:58No good deed
00:26:59Makes another appearance
00:27:00But the real surprise
00:27:01Is that shot of Elphaba
00:27:03Glinda and the wizard
00:27:04Dancing together in the palace
00:27:05In the stage show
00:27:07Elphaba only comes out
00:27:08After the wizard
00:27:08Clears the room
00:27:09Ahead of wonderful
00:27:10So if this really is that scene
00:27:12And Glinda's involved now
00:27:14We're certainly intrigued
00:27:16Wonderful
00:27:17And they said wonderful
00:27:21Believe me
00:27:23It's hard to resist
00:27:26Cause it feels wonderful
00:27:30They think I'm wonderful
00:27:32Hey look who's wonderful
00:27:35This cornbed egg
00:27:37Who said it might be keen
00:27:41To build a town of green
00:27:43And a wonderful road
00:27:46Of yellow bridge
00:27:48We also see the mob
00:27:49Coming for Elphaba
00:27:50Which looks like
00:27:51March of the Witch Hunters
00:27:52But the emotional core
00:27:54Of the trailer is
00:27:55Of course
00:27:56For good
00:27:56They've given us
00:27:57Just enough of it
00:27:58To completely wreck us
00:28:00And if this little sliver
00:28:14Already has us clutching
00:28:16Our emerald green hearts
00:28:17Imagine what the full scene
00:28:18Is going to do in the theater
00:28:19We'll be crying buckets
00:28:21Like enough to melt
00:28:22A whole coven of witches
00:28:23Look what you've done
00:28:24I'm melting
00:28:26Melting
00:28:27Oh what a world
00:28:29Who is not a good little girl
00:28:32Like you
00:28:32Who could destroy
00:28:33My beautiful wickedness
00:28:35Ah look out
00:28:37Look out
00:28:38I'm going
00:28:40As fans know
00:28:49The film introduces
00:28:50Two brand new songs
00:28:52One for each leading lady
00:28:53So Ari and I
00:28:54Both have new songs
00:28:55In it
00:28:56And Stephen Schwartz
00:28:57Wrote two new songs
00:28:57And we did some
00:28:58Collaboration on it
00:28:59So we're definitely singing
00:29:01In it
00:29:02According to Vanity Fair
00:29:03The trailer's opening moment
00:29:05Is pulled from
00:29:05Elphaba's new number
00:29:06Co-written by Cynthia Erivo
00:29:08And described as
00:29:09Quote
00:29:09A song that speaks to the heart
00:29:11Of who Elphaba is
00:29:12Glinda's new solo
00:29:13Is called
00:29:14Girl in the Bubble
00:29:15Which might be where
00:29:16The poppy field scene lands
00:29:17We'll find out soon enough
00:29:19If anyone knows
00:29:20Of a shortcut down
00:29:21The yellow brick road
00:29:22That gets us to November
00:29:23Faster
00:29:23We're all ears
00:29:25Because
00:29:25I knew you
00:29:27You're the only friend
00:29:28I ever had
00:29:29Because
00:29:30I knew you
00:29:32And I've had so many friends
00:29:34I have been changed
00:29:37For good
00:29:38But only one that mattered
00:29:40What has you most excited
00:29:48For wicked for good
00:29:49And what questions
00:29:50Has this trailer raised
00:29:51You can say
00:29:53I've been changed
00:29:57What a way
00:29:58Bring me the broom
00:30:00Of the wicked witch
00:30:01Of the west
00:30:02Wicked for good's
00:30:05Final trailer raised the stakes
00:30:07And our heart rates
00:30:09Let's unpack the most magical
00:30:11Heartbreaking
00:30:12And revealing moments
00:30:14From the film's
00:30:15Final preview
00:30:16Haven't you heard
00:30:18I'm the wicked witch
00:30:21Of the west
00:30:21Welcome to Ms. Mojo
00:30:23And today
00:30:24We're breaking down
00:30:25The final trailer
00:30:26Of wicked for good
00:30:27Before it flies
00:30:28Into theaters in November
00:30:29If you're not familiar
00:30:30With the events of act two
00:30:32This is your spoiler warning
00:30:34Just look at me
00:30:35Not with your eyes
00:30:38With theirs
00:30:40Harping on the past
00:30:43A.K.A. part one
00:30:44Of course
00:30:45To no one's surprise
00:30:47There will be a fair few
00:30:48Callbacks to part one
00:30:49In this movie
00:30:50So naturally
00:30:51We're already getting
00:30:52A taste of them
00:30:52In the trailer
00:30:53For starters
00:30:54Notice how Glinda's
00:30:55Celebrations
00:30:56And even her dress
00:30:57At one point
00:30:57Stick to a pink
00:30:58And green color scheme
00:30:59Pink goes good with green
00:31:01We also see her
00:31:02Become acquainted
00:31:03With her new mode
00:31:04Of transportation
00:31:05Do what I think it does
00:31:06No
00:31:08No way
00:31:12I'm obsesulated
00:31:15Then there are the two giant posters
00:31:17That get unfurled
00:31:18One for Glinda the good
00:31:20And one for the wicked witch
00:31:21Of the west
00:31:22Beyond the labels
00:31:23It's a reminder
00:31:24Of the choices they made
00:31:25At the end of part one
00:31:26And how they led
00:31:27To these titles
00:31:28Being placed upon them
00:31:29You may have also spotted the banner
00:31:43Celebrating the opening
00:31:44Of the yellow brick road
00:31:45Now if you cast your mind
00:31:46Back to part one
00:31:47You'll recall that the wizard
00:31:49Has a hard time choosing
00:31:50What color would best suit
00:31:51This road that runs
00:31:52Throughout Oz
00:31:53Glinda is the one
00:31:54To settle on yellow
00:31:55The yellow relay
00:31:56Yes
00:31:58It just says road to me
00:32:00Well we guess
00:32:01Now's a better time
00:32:02Than ever
00:32:02To celebrate its grand reveal
00:32:04It doesn't seem to be
00:32:05The only change
00:32:06Glinda's made in Oz either
00:32:07That green train
00:32:09That once took her
00:32:10And Elphaba
00:32:10To Emerald City
00:32:11Has now seemingly
00:32:12Been Glindified
00:32:13Get on the train
00:32:14You're gonna miss it
00:32:15I wouldn't want to impose
00:32:17I don't
00:32:17It doesn't matter
00:32:18Just come with me
00:32:19Why couldn't puzzle me
00:32:19This is your moment
00:32:20I'm coming
00:32:21We also get moments
00:32:22That seem to directly
00:32:23Mirror part one
00:32:24Take that shot
00:32:25Of Elphaba
00:32:26Adjusting her hair
00:32:27We've definitely
00:32:28Seen that before
00:32:29Also let's take
00:32:30A closer look
00:32:31At some of the choreography
00:32:32There's a shot
00:32:33That seems to call back
00:32:34To a certain routine
00:32:35That blew up
00:32:35As a viral dance trend
00:32:36Last year
00:32:37But what we really
00:32:38Want to know
00:32:39Is how Glinda
00:32:39Now fits into wonderful
00:32:40Maybe this scene
00:32:42Marks another crossroads
00:32:43In her friendship
00:32:44With Elphaba
00:32:44The last time
00:32:45We saw them dance
00:32:46Like this
00:32:46Was at the Ozdust ballroom
00:32:48When their friendship
00:32:49First began
00:32:50Here it feels
00:32:55Like a joyful reunion
00:32:56With the two of them
00:32:57Dancing together
00:32:58Alongside the wizard
00:32:59Almost like a snapshot
00:33:01Of life before
00:33:01That one short day
00:33:02Changed everything
00:33:03Of course
00:33:04As fans know
00:33:05That joy
00:33:06Is short lived
00:33:07It's you
00:33:08You're behind
00:33:11All of this
00:33:11Storyline
00:33:12And key plot points
00:33:13Okay
00:33:14Let's get into
00:33:15Some of the plot points
00:33:16Teased in the trailer
00:33:16Much like act 2
00:33:18We open on
00:33:19Thank goodness
00:33:20It's more important
00:33:21Than ever
00:33:21That you lift
00:33:24Everyone's spirits
00:33:25As only you can
00:33:30We see Glinda's celebration
00:33:32But also a little more
00:33:33Background on how
00:33:34She rose to this role
00:33:35And the perks
00:33:36That come with it
00:33:37Fiero is present
00:33:38Though the trailer
00:33:39Leaves out that this
00:33:40Is also his surprise
00:33:41Engagement party
00:33:42Still we catch
00:33:43Early signs that
00:33:44Glinda senses his heart
00:33:45Isn't truly hers
00:33:46You can't resist this
00:33:48Who could
00:33:49You know who could
00:33:50Unlike the previous trailer
00:33:52This time we get to see
00:33:53A glimpse of Nessa
00:33:54Who has now become
00:33:55The new governor
00:33:55Of Munchkinland
00:33:56And rules with an iron fist
00:33:58Earning her the nickname
00:33:59The Wicked Witch of the East
00:34:01We already know
00:34:02This scene is likely
00:34:03To play out differently
00:34:04Than the stage version
00:34:05As the original narrative
00:34:06Has been deemed
00:34:07Incredibly ableist
00:34:08Moreover suddenly being able
00:34:17To walk does not
00:34:18Improve her life
00:34:19So we're expecting
00:34:20Some twist that returns
00:34:21The power to Nessa Rose
00:34:23The trailer plays
00:34:24Somewhat coy about
00:34:25The other huge moment
00:34:26That happens during
00:34:27This number
00:34:27But it does introduce
00:34:29Us to the Tin Man
00:34:30That's all we're
00:34:31Going to say for now
00:34:32What have you done to me?
00:34:33We also see Elphaba
00:34:34Return to the Wizard's Palace
00:34:36In the show
00:34:37She returns to free
00:34:38The animals
00:34:39Indeed we do see her
00:34:40Walk through rows
00:34:41Of caged animals
00:34:42We even think we spotted
00:34:44That lynx Dr. Dillamond
00:34:45Was with in part 1
00:34:46Speaking of Dr. Dillamond
00:34:47This shot seems to hint
00:34:49At his return
00:34:50Without outright showing us
00:34:51How he and Elphaba reunite
00:34:52Although it's a pretty
00:34:54Big moment
00:34:55As you'll know
00:34:55If you've seen the show
00:34:56And one that cuts
00:34:57Abruptly into wonderful
00:34:59Have we mentioned
00:35:03That Glinda's apparently
00:35:04In that now?
00:35:05We only mention it again
00:35:06Because in several
00:35:07Of the previous trailers
00:35:08We've been surprised
00:35:10To see them include
00:35:11What looks like a wedding
00:35:12Now again
00:35:13If you've seen the show
00:35:14You'll know that
00:35:15Glinda and Fierro's
00:35:16Relationship never gets
00:35:17Past the engagement
00:35:18Fierro and I
00:35:19Are getting married
00:35:20He asked you already?
00:35:25Oh he doesn't know yet
00:35:26Fierro leaves Glinda
00:35:27For Elphaba
00:35:28And in her rage
00:35:29And grief
00:35:30Glinda helps conspire
00:35:31Against Elphaba
00:35:32Which prompts
00:35:33A change in the weather
00:35:34However before we get there
00:35:36We just want to say
00:35:37One more thing
00:35:37About the wedding scene
00:35:38So director John M. Chu
00:35:40Essentially confirmed
00:35:41That the wedding
00:35:42Was included
00:35:43Because it raises
00:35:43The stakes
00:35:44Between Elphaba
00:35:45And Glinda
00:35:45You can wave
00:35:46That wand all you want
00:35:47But you have
00:35:48No real power
00:35:49Now
00:35:50And just hear us out
00:35:51You know there's
00:35:52That moment in the trailer
00:35:53Where they try to
00:35:54Come up with a plan
00:35:55Here's the plan
00:35:56I have no plan
00:35:58Well I do
00:35:59Oh thank Oz
00:36:00It looks like they're
00:36:01Having that conversation
00:36:02In the palace
00:36:03Which is certainly risky
00:36:04But we digress
00:36:05Anyway
00:36:06What if that stampede
00:36:07Of animals
00:36:08Through the wedding
00:36:09Was the plan
00:36:10Glinda let Elphaba
00:36:11Sabotage her wedding
00:36:12For a good cause
00:36:13And Fierro
00:36:14Still leaves her
00:36:15Come on
00:36:16Can the stakes
00:36:16Get any higher than that
00:36:18Of course again
00:36:19This is just us theorizing
00:36:20So who knows
00:36:21This is the work
00:36:22Of the wicked witch
00:36:23We honestly cannot wait
00:36:25To see what they've done
00:36:26With as long as you're mine
00:36:27But we also see
00:36:28The moment they're interrupted
00:36:29By the tornado
00:36:30That brings Dorothy
00:36:30Crashing down into Oz
00:36:32There's a house
00:36:33And it's flying through the sky
00:36:35The next time
00:36:36The two former friends meet
00:36:37Is at the scene of the crime
00:36:39After Glinda sent Dorothy
00:36:40On her merry way
00:36:41I'm a public figure now
00:36:42People expect me to fly
00:36:44Be encouraging
00:36:45If you've seen the show
00:36:46You'll know how iconic
00:36:47That scene is
00:36:48In fact it's so iconic
00:36:50That it already got a nod
00:36:51Back in part one
00:36:52We also get glimpses
00:36:54Of no good deed
00:36:55Perhaps most notably
00:36:56Through a close-up
00:36:57Of the grimmery
00:36:58Not to mention
00:36:58They really build up
00:37:00To that finale
00:37:00Both through the mob
00:37:01Closing in
00:37:02And a shot that seems
00:37:03To veer into book territory
00:37:04Now you probably recall
00:37:06Back in the first look
00:37:07For part one
00:37:08And even in subsequent trailers
00:37:10We've seen images
00:37:11That we're yet to see
00:37:12In the movie
00:37:13Some showed up
00:37:13As deleted scenes
00:37:15But we have reason
00:37:16To believe
00:37:16That some of those moments
00:37:17Are yet to come
00:37:18Perhaps in a flashback sequence
00:37:20There's a shot of Elphaba's boots
00:37:22Being taken out of a cupboard
00:37:23And while we've seen
00:37:24Those boots before
00:37:25Given how they seem
00:37:26To now be in Glinda's closet
00:37:28We still need some explanation
00:37:30Over how they got there
00:37:31Perhaps from that time
00:37:32They all frolicked
00:37:33In the poppy field
00:37:34However we do wonder
00:37:35If perhaps
00:37:36For good will be the song
00:37:37To take us down memory lane
00:37:39Perhaps most surprisingly
00:37:49The show doesn't shy away
00:37:51From revealing its ending
00:37:52Anyone who's seen
00:37:53The Wizard of Oz
00:37:54Knows what technically happens
00:37:55But this is wicked
00:37:56And nothing is ever
00:37:57Exactly as it seems
00:37:59In case you don't know
00:38:00What we're talking about
00:38:01We won't say any more
00:38:02On that right now
00:38:03We're off to see
00:38:04The Wizard
00:38:05And other nods
00:38:06It's already been confirmed
00:38:07That Dorothy will be more
00:38:08Of a presence
00:38:09Than a character in the movie
00:38:10Still there are plenty
00:38:12Of Wizard of Oz
00:38:13Throwbacks to spot
00:38:14About 10 seconds in
00:38:16Glinda poses
00:38:16With a group of young girls
00:38:18Who are definitely
00:38:18Giving lullaby league
00:38:20And in the name of
00:38:22The lullaby league
00:38:24We wish to welcome you
00:38:27To Munchkin land
00:38:29The way Elphaba
00:38:30Crashes the party
00:38:31Also mirrors how
00:38:32The Wicked Witch of the West
00:38:33Interrupts Dorothy and friends
00:38:35In the merry old land of Oz
00:38:36It's the Wicked Witch
00:38:37Then there's the tornado
00:38:41That brings Dorothy to Oz
00:38:43And the house
00:38:43That gets brutally repurposed
00:38:45Into anti-Wicked Witch propaganda
00:38:47And if you look closely
00:38:48At that bucket
00:38:49Its purpose is literally
00:38:50Printed across the side
00:38:52As if any of us
00:38:53Could forget what happened
00:38:54To the witch
00:38:54Melting!
00:38:56Melting!
00:38:57Oh what a world
00:38:59What a world
00:38:59Who thought a good little girl
00:39:01Like you could destroy
00:39:03Am I beautiful
00:39:04I get this!
00:39:05Fans of the stage show
00:39:06Get their nods too
00:39:07Like the shadow on the wall
00:39:09Followed by Glinda tearfully
00:39:10Clutching Elphaba's hat
00:39:11In Nessa Rose's brief shot
00:39:13Her shoes glow red
00:39:15Mirroring the moment
00:39:16After Elphaba enchants them
00:39:17In the show
00:39:18My shoes!
00:39:20It feels like they're on fire!
00:39:22What have you done to my shoes?
00:39:24We also meet the scarecrow
00:39:25Tin man and cowardly lion
00:39:27And we can't wait to see
00:39:29How the film expands
00:39:30On their alliance with Dorothy
00:39:31You're the best friends
00:39:32Anybody ever had
00:39:34And it's funny
00:39:35But I feel as if
00:39:37I've known you all the time
00:39:38But I couldn't have
00:39:40Could I?
00:39:41And one last easter egg
00:39:42Not from the show
00:39:43But still for the fans
00:39:44We're pretty sure
00:39:45That's the film's choreographer
00:39:47Christopher Scott
00:39:47Among the photographers
00:39:49Musical moments
00:39:50We couldn't be happier
00:39:52That this trailer
00:39:53Finally dropped
00:39:54And really
00:39:54What better lyric
00:39:55To open with?
00:39:56Couldn't be happier
00:39:58Still, while we hear
00:40:00Glinda sing that
00:40:01She couldn't be happier
00:40:02Her face seems to
00:40:03Suggest otherwise
00:40:04Still, you can't say
00:40:05That this trailer
00:40:06Doesn't start by
00:40:07Celebrating the Glinda way
00:40:08And thank goodness
00:40:09It does
00:40:10Because happy
00:40:12Is what happens
00:40:13Glinda the good
00:40:15In all your dreams
00:40:19Come true
00:40:20There's also that
00:40:21Unfamiliar riff
00:40:22That we mentioned
00:40:23In our last trailer breakdown
00:40:24Now could this be as close
00:40:31As we're going to get
00:40:32To a preview
00:40:32Of Elphaba's new song
00:40:33No Place Like Home
00:40:34Or is this
00:40:35Cynthia Erivo spin
00:40:36On No Good Deed
00:40:37It seems highly likely
00:40:39It's from the latter
00:40:39Since it echoes
00:40:40Throughout much of the trailer
00:40:41But it's not just music
00:40:47You should be listening out for
00:40:48There are plenty
00:40:49Of visual cues
00:40:50To pick up on too
00:40:51A few shots seem to come
00:40:52From Wonderful
00:40:53Though clearly reimagined
00:40:55From the stage version
00:40:56We guess Glinda doesn't
00:40:57Just want to be good
00:40:58She wants to be
00:40:59Wonderful too
00:41:00I will be wonderful
00:41:03And they said wonderful
00:41:07Believe me
00:41:10It's hard to resist
00:41:12There's even a blink
00:41:14And you'll miss it
00:41:14Moment of Elphaba
00:41:15And Fierro
00:41:16Which we can only imagine
00:41:17Belongs to
00:41:18As long as you're mine
00:41:19As long as you're mine
00:41:22Or do it all you want to
00:41:26And shoot out
00:41:29Right every shot
00:41:31Chew has promised
00:41:32That the scene
00:41:33Will hit harder than ever
00:41:34Saying quote
00:41:35You finally get to feel
00:41:36The ascension
00:41:37That they give each other
00:41:38Through the relationship
00:41:38Which honestly
00:41:40Could capture this shot too
00:41:41Meanwhile
00:41:42That mob screams
00:41:43March of the Witch Hunters
00:41:45Fans also rejoicified
00:41:47At the confirmation
00:41:47That the Wicked Witch of the East
00:41:49Will finally be released
00:41:50On the film's soundtrack
00:41:51The number carries
00:41:52So much plot
00:41:53That it was cut
00:41:54From the OBC album
00:41:55However the trailer
00:41:56Hasn't shied away
00:41:57From nodding to it
00:41:58And of course
00:41:59No trailer for Wicked
00:42:01For Good
00:42:01Would be complete
00:42:02Without
00:42:02Well
00:42:03For Good
00:42:03We see Elphaba
00:42:10And Glinda
00:42:11Floating in a pink glow
00:42:12On a broom
00:42:13Held up like a swing
00:42:14Could it be a new take
00:42:15On the song
00:42:16Or even
00:42:16The girl in the bubble
00:42:17Which precedes it
00:42:18Either way
00:42:19Whatever expectations
00:42:21We had for this song
00:42:22Or any of the others
00:42:23Will probably be rewritten
00:42:24At the theater doors
00:42:25Honestly though
00:42:32Just hearing
00:42:32Cynthia Erivo
00:42:33And Ariana Grande
00:42:34Sing together
00:42:35Has us obsessulated
00:42:36And we're fully prepared
00:42:38To weep buckets
00:42:39When we get to watch
00:42:39This number in full
00:42:40How excited are you
00:42:53For Wicked For Good
00:42:54It turns out
00:42:56That not everything
00:42:57In Oz
00:42:58Follows the same
00:42:59Yellow brick road
00:43:00Just check out
00:43:01These details
00:43:02That we learned
00:43:03In the Wicked For Good
00:43:04Trailer
00:43:04That are not
00:43:06In the musical
00:43:07I'm off to see
00:43:08The wizard
00:43:09Welcome to Ms. Mojo
00:43:11And today
00:43:11We're counting down
00:43:12Our picks for the clues
00:43:13In the Wicked For Good
00:43:14Trailer
00:43:15That hint at how
00:43:15The film might veer down
00:43:16A different yellow brick road
00:43:18From the one we follow
00:43:19In the stage musical
00:43:20This is between us
00:43:21The wizard
00:43:22And I
00:43:23We will be discussing
00:43:24Plot points
00:43:25So this is your
00:43:26Spoiler warning
00:43:27Number 10
00:43:28Girl in the Bubble
00:43:29Some time ago
00:43:30We learned that
00:43:31In For Good
00:43:32Each of our leading ladies
00:43:33Would get a new
00:43:34Original song
00:43:35It's good to see me
00:43:36Isn't it
00:43:37Glinda's is reportedly
00:43:38Called Girl in the Bubble
00:43:39Ariana Grande shared
00:43:41That it comes during
00:43:42A quote
00:43:42Pivotal moment
00:43:43In Glinda's journey
00:43:44And one that we
00:43:45Don't get to see
00:43:46On stage
00:43:47We're guessing
00:43:48This might mean
00:43:48That we'll see
00:43:49How she steps
00:43:50Into the role
00:43:50Of Glinda the Good
00:43:51The real story
00:43:53One that contrasts
00:43:54With Madame Morrible's
00:43:55Version of events
00:43:56Some trailer shots
00:44:06Like Glinda putting
00:44:07On her tiara
00:44:08Or walking to her bubble
00:44:09Might be from this number
00:44:11Either way
00:44:12It's clear we're meeting
00:44:13A very different Glinda
00:44:14From the one we met
00:44:15In part one
00:44:16Number 9
00:44:21The flashbacks
00:44:22In the first trailers
00:44:24We caught glimpses of moments
00:44:25We couldn't quite match up
00:44:26With anything from the stage musical
00:44:28The film didn't explain
00:44:29All of them
00:44:30But we've since learned
00:44:31They're from a series
00:44:32Of flashbacks
00:44:33Our paths did cross
00:44:35At school
00:44:47At least one of those shots
00:44:48Shows up again
00:44:49In the For Good trailer
00:44:50In part one
00:44:52We saw it briefly
00:44:53As Glinda remembers
00:44:54Her friendship with Elphaba
00:44:55So we're guessing
00:44:56This image is once again
00:44:57From her memories
00:44:58But you must understand
00:44:59It was a long time ago
00:45:02The film already explored
00:45:03Their bond more deeply
00:45:04Than the stage show
00:45:05Ever could
00:45:06Now with both women
00:45:07In very different places
00:45:09This flashback feels
00:45:10Like a bittersweet nod
00:45:12To what they had
00:45:12And how much
00:45:13Has changed since
00:45:14Number 8
00:45:22Madame Morrible
00:45:23Conjures up a storm
00:45:24Quite late
00:45:25In the stage version
00:45:26We
00:45:27Along with Glinda
00:45:28Learned that
00:45:29Madame Morrible
00:45:29Is the one
00:45:30Who conjured up
00:45:30The tornado
00:45:31That brought
00:45:32Dorothy to Oz
00:45:33You listen to me
00:45:34Missy
00:45:34You may have
00:45:35Fooled the rest
00:45:36Of Oz
00:45:37With this
00:45:37Anti-good routine
00:45:39I know better
00:45:40You've wanted this
00:45:41Since the beginning
00:45:42Now you're getting
00:45:43What you wanted
00:45:44So just smile
00:45:46And wave
00:45:47Don't forget
00:45:47Weather is her specialty
00:45:49However surprisingly
00:45:51This twist appears
00:45:52To be revealed
00:45:53In the trailer
00:45:53With Madame Morrible
00:45:54Seemingly casting
00:45:55A spell by a window
00:45:56Where a tornado
00:45:57Can then be seen
00:45:58The wicked witch
00:45:59Tanty nude us forever
00:46:00And while we're on
00:46:02Tornadoes
00:46:02That's not the only
00:46:03One in this trailer
00:46:04Suggesting perhaps
00:46:05The larger storm
00:46:07That lies ahead
00:46:08Still given how
00:46:09This plot point
00:46:09Is a pretty major
00:46:10Reveal in the stage
00:46:11Version
00:46:12We certainly
00:46:13Didn't expect to
00:46:13See it shown so
00:46:14Openly
00:46:15And so soon
00:46:16In the trailer
00:46:17It's you
00:46:18You're behind
00:46:20All of this
00:46:21Number 7
00:46:22Glinda's
00:46:23Wonderful time
00:46:24There's a brief
00:46:25Almost blink
00:46:26And you'll miss it
00:46:27Moment where
00:46:27Elphaba, Glinda
00:46:28And the wizard
00:46:29Are dancing together
00:46:30In the palace
00:46:30Like many Wicked fans
00:46:32We think this shot
00:46:33Is from Wonderful
00:46:34Where the wizard
00:46:35Tries to woo
00:46:36Elphaba into
00:46:36Joining forces
00:46:37Once again
00:46:38While explaining
00:46:38How he became
00:46:39The wonderful
00:46:40Wizard of Oz
00:46:41It feels wonderful
00:46:43They think I'm wonderful
00:46:46Hey look who's wonderful
00:46:49This cornbed egg
00:46:51But hang on
00:46:52A clock ticking moment
00:46:53We don't recall
00:46:54Glinda being there
00:46:55For that
00:46:55Doesn't the wizard
00:46:56Deliberately clear the area
00:46:58So it's just him
00:46:59In Elphaba
00:47:00In fact
00:47:00It's so much
00:47:01Who I am
00:47:02It's part of my name
00:47:05And with my help
00:47:07You can be the same
00:47:09Having Glinda present
00:47:11Changes a lot
00:47:12We're intrigued to see
00:47:13What her role is
00:47:14In this scene
00:47:15If that's what it is
00:47:16Needless to say
00:47:17Elphaba doesn't seem
00:47:18To buy into his
00:47:19Monkey business
00:47:20For long
00:47:20Number 6
00:47:25That Outlaw Life
00:47:26Toto
00:47:27We don't think
00:47:28We're at shiz anymore
00:47:29While the show
00:47:30Only really shows us
00:47:31Madame Morrible
00:47:31Offering Elphaba
00:47:32Sorcery tuition
00:47:33Part 1
00:47:34Takes us into
00:47:35The classroom
00:47:36Opening an important
00:47:37Connection between
00:47:38Elphaba's emotions
00:47:39And her powers
00:47:40Remarkable
00:47:41Absolutely remarkable
00:47:43Once you learn
00:47:46To harness your emotion
00:47:48The sky's the limit
00:47:51It looks like
00:47:52For good
00:47:52We'll follow suit
00:47:53Giving us more insight
00:47:55Into her life in exile
00:47:56Sure we get hints
00:47:57Of this
00:47:58And no good deed
00:47:59But here we seem
00:47:59To actually watch
00:48:01Elphaba grow
00:48:01Into her powers
00:48:02She also seems
00:48:03To hold on to
00:48:04Mementos that
00:48:05Reflect her past
00:48:06And present
00:48:06From what we've
00:48:07Seen so far
00:48:08These extended scenes
00:48:09Aren't just filler
00:48:10Or fluff
00:48:11So we're betting
00:48:11Elphaba's new home
00:48:13Still has plenty
00:48:13To offer
00:48:14There's no going back
00:48:15This is between us
00:48:20The wizard
00:48:21And I
00:48:22Number 5
00:48:23The Balcony Reunion
00:48:24In the show's
00:48:25Second act
00:48:26Elphaba and Glinda
00:48:27Don't exactly start out
00:48:28As besties
00:48:29Without spoiling too much
00:48:30Their first onstage
00:48:31Interaction
00:48:32Happens right after
00:48:33Glinda sends Dorothy
00:48:34Skipping down
00:48:35The Yellow Brick Road
00:48:36How do I start
00:48:37For Emerald City?
00:48:38It's always best
00:48:39To start at the beginning
00:48:40And all you do
00:48:41Is follow
00:48:42The Yellow Brick Road
00:48:43However
00:48:44The trailer's
00:48:45Opening moments
00:48:45Show a different reunion
00:48:47We get only
00:48:48A quick glimpse
00:48:49Of Elphaba
00:48:49But Glinda's reaction
00:48:50Tells us something
00:48:51Has changed between them
00:48:52Something is
00:48:53Not the same
00:48:54Elphaba Throb
00:48:55I know you're out here
00:48:56Just come in
00:48:58Before the monkeys
00:48:59Spot you
00:49:00Rumor has it
00:49:06This moment
00:49:06Comes from Elphaba's
00:49:07Brand new song
00:49:08We're still waiting
00:49:09On a confirmed title
00:49:10But Cynthia Erivo
00:49:11Who co-wrote it
00:49:12Says it
00:49:13Quote
00:49:13Speaks to the heart
00:49:14Of who Elphaba is
00:49:16And had the team
00:49:17Fighting back tears
00:49:18Time to start
00:49:19Stocking up on tissues
00:49:20We think
00:49:21Is it a ballad?
00:49:22Is it upbeat?
00:49:22Surely you're singing
00:49:23So Ari and I
00:49:24Both have new songs
00:49:25In it
00:49:26And Stephen Schwartz
00:49:26Wrote two new songs
00:49:27And we did some
00:49:28Collaboration on it
00:49:29So we're definitely singing
00:49:31Number four
00:49:32What happens to the animals?
00:49:34We all know Elphaba's
00:49:35A fierce animal advocate
00:49:37Even if most of that work
00:49:38Happens off stage
00:49:39My heart's desire
00:49:40Is for you to help the animals
00:49:41Something bad is happening
00:49:43To them and they need you
00:49:44Since the events
00:49:45Of Defying Gravity
00:49:46She's been working
00:49:47Tirelessly in the background
00:49:49And it looks like
00:49:50The movie's finally
00:49:50Bringing that to the forefront
00:49:52The trailer gives us
00:49:53Winged monkeys
00:49:54Animals fleeing
00:49:55A burning village
00:49:56And most strikingly
00:49:57A full-on stampede
00:49:59In what looks very much
00:50:00Like Glinda and Fierro's wedding
00:50:02Don't worry
00:50:02We'll get to that
00:50:03It's the kind of moment
00:50:06That's hard to stage
00:50:07But looks powerful on screen
00:50:09And it could give Glinda
00:50:11Yet another reason
00:50:12To turn on her former friend
00:50:13That said
00:50:14There's still one animal
00:50:16We're yet to see
00:50:17They can take away my job
00:50:18But I shall continue
00:50:19Speaking out
00:50:20Listen to me
00:50:22You're not being told
00:50:23The whole story
00:50:24Number three
00:50:25An unfamiliar riff
00:50:27While we get snippets
00:50:28Of no good deed
00:50:29And for good
00:50:30In the trailer
00:50:30There's one soundbite
00:50:31We can't quite place
00:50:33From the soundtrack
00:50:33We know
00:50:34Director John M. Chu
00:50:40Is keeping his cards
00:50:41Close to his chest
00:50:42But we have to wonder
00:50:43If it comes from
00:50:44Elphaba's new song
00:50:45Sure it could be
00:50:46Erivo's take on
00:50:47No good deed
00:50:48We all know
00:50:49She's going to sing
00:50:50The shiz out of that
00:50:51And it's basically
00:50:52The next thing
00:50:53We hear in the trailer
00:50:54Still we're pretty convinced
00:50:59They're teasing us
00:50:59With the tiniest sliver
00:51:01Of a song
00:51:01We're all desperate to hear
00:51:03So movie two
00:51:04There might be some new songs
00:51:05You'll see
00:51:06And that's exciting
00:51:08He says mate
00:51:08This is entertainment tonight
00:51:10Let's confirm this right
00:51:12And if it is tied
00:51:13To the balcony scene
00:51:14It's the perfect placement
00:51:16Number two
00:51:18More Dorothy
00:51:19And her little dog too
00:51:20On stage
00:51:22The most we see of Dorothy
00:51:23Is as a shadow puppet
00:51:24Tossing water at Elphaba
00:51:25But from the first teaser
00:51:27It seems clear
00:51:28She'll have a bigger role
00:51:29In the movie
00:51:30And honestly
00:51:31Knowing who she surrounds herself with
00:51:33We can't wait to see
00:51:34How it all connects
00:51:35I thought
00:51:36Well if we don't do
00:51:37A full production
00:51:38We're not going to see
00:51:38How that world
00:51:39Affects the storytelling
00:51:41So far
00:51:41The shots we've seen
00:51:42Seem to mirror
00:51:43Some classic
00:51:43Wizard of Oz moments
00:51:44Which makes us think
00:51:46They're saving
00:51:46The real surprises
00:51:47For later
00:51:48You're up to see
00:51:49The wizards
00:51:50The wonderful wizard of Oz
00:51:51You're kind
00:51:52He is a wizard of wits
00:51:53If ever a wizard of us
00:51:55Also remember
00:51:56How the heels
00:51:56Of the silver slippers
00:51:57Now in Dorothy's possession
00:51:59Are shaped like a twister
00:52:00Or a tornado
00:52:01This time we also see her
00:52:03Stepping into a puddle
00:52:04Honestly
00:52:05Must have been raised in a barn
00:52:06If you know
00:52:08You know
00:52:08Bring me the broom
00:52:09Of the wicked witch
00:52:11Of the west
00:52:12Before we unveil
00:52:13Our top pick
00:52:14Here are a few
00:52:15Honorable mentions
00:52:16The mystery figures
00:52:17And the horses
00:52:18They rode in on
00:52:19Is it Fierro
00:52:20Is it Glinda
00:52:21Or is it someone else
00:52:23Entirely
00:52:23We're guessing
00:52:24We're staying green
00:52:25Until the film's release
00:52:27More Dulce Bear
00:52:35Elfie and Nessa's sweet nanny
00:52:36Appears to be back
00:52:38Dulce Bear is there
00:52:39On the platform
00:52:40And doesn't respond
00:52:42When spoken to
00:52:42We actually see
00:52:44In the script
00:52:44She purposefully
00:52:45Shakes her head
00:52:46Before Madame
00:52:48Morrible approaches
00:52:49And stays silent
00:52:50On purpose
00:52:51I think if we had
00:52:52Had this scene
00:52:53There would be
00:52:53A greater chance
00:52:54That we would get
00:52:55Some sort of resolution
00:52:56To her story
00:52:57In Wicked for Good
00:52:57An encore for
00:52:58Wizamania
00:52:59Have the wizard's guards
00:53:01Joined Wizamania
00:53:02Or will we get
00:53:03Another surprise performance
00:53:04The wicked witch
00:53:05Can't elude us forever
00:53:06Not with Prince Fierro
00:53:09And his squadron
00:53:10Hot on her trail
00:53:11More poppies
00:53:12Seems fitting for the wizard
00:53:14To be wearing poppies
00:53:15Given how he has
00:53:16All Oz asleep
00:53:17Under his spell
00:53:18Under construction
00:53:26The yellow brick road
00:53:27This one calls back
00:53:29To part one
00:53:29Rather than building
00:53:30On the show
00:53:31The wonderful wizard
00:53:32Of Oz
00:53:32No one believed
00:53:35In you more than I did
00:53:36Number one
00:53:39The wedding that never was
00:53:41Fierro and I
00:53:42Are getting married
00:53:43He asked you already
00:53:48Oh he doesn't know yet
00:53:49Since our very first
00:53:50Look at the wicked movie
00:53:51We've been teased
00:53:52With images of Glinda
00:53:53In a wedding dress
00:53:54Now as anyone
00:53:55Who's seen the show
00:53:56Knows
00:53:56Glinda and Fierro
00:53:58Never actually
00:53:58Make it down the aisle
00:53:59In fact
00:54:00Their engagement
00:54:01Barely lasts a song
00:54:03You hear that
00:54:03Water will melt her
00:54:05People are so
00:54:06Empty headed
00:54:06They'll believe anything
00:54:07Fierro
00:54:08Oh
00:54:09Yes
00:54:10Thanks plenty
00:54:11Dearest
00:54:12He's gone to fetch
00:54:13Me a refreshment
00:54:14He's so thoughtful
00:54:16That way
00:54:17Well to Fierro
00:54:18At least
00:54:18In the new trailer
00:54:19We see Glinda
00:54:20In a stunning wedding dress
00:54:21Walking down the aisle
00:54:22Toward Fierro
00:54:23Who looks like
00:54:24He'd rather be
00:54:25Anywhere else
00:54:26We all have our theories
00:54:33About what this could mean
00:54:34But as Chu told
00:54:35Vanity Fair
00:54:36Quote
00:54:36A wedding might up the ante
00:54:38For all parties involved
00:54:39And it's harder to forgive
00:54:40Certain things
00:54:41In certain scenarios
00:54:42How scandalacious
00:54:44Scandalacious
00:54:45Yeah it is
00:54:46Both of those things
00:54:47Yeah
00:54:47Did the four good trailer
00:54:48Leave you with any questions
00:54:50For a while there
00:54:51I thought you changed
00:54:51I have changed
00:54:54Before we click our heels
00:54:57Three times
00:54:58We're gonna end things
00:54:59Today by lining up
00:55:01The story in
00:55:01The Wizard of Oz
00:55:02And Wicked
00:55:03And seeing where
00:55:04The timeline connects
00:55:05It really was no miracle
00:55:08What happened
00:55:09Was just this
00:55:10Welcome to Ms. Mojo
00:55:12And today
00:55:13We're taking a chronological
00:55:14Trip through the land
00:55:15Of Oz
00:55:15To see where along
00:55:16The yellow brick road
00:55:17The Wizard of Oz
00:55:18And Wicked
00:55:19Intersect
00:55:20Before we get started
00:55:21Since this will go
00:55:22Into the events
00:55:23Of part two
00:55:24This is your spoiler warning
00:55:26Let me tell you
00:55:28The whole story
00:55:29Starting from the end
00:55:32Wicked
00:55:33Both the stage
00:55:34And screen versions
00:55:36Opens shortly after
00:55:37The Wicked Witch of the West
00:55:38Elphaba to Wicked fans
00:55:40Has melted
00:55:41Fellow Ozians
00:55:42The Wicked Witch of the West
00:55:44Is dead
00:55:45This moment happens
00:55:46Quite late
00:55:47In The Wizard of Oz
00:55:48But while the 1939 film
00:55:50Continues to follow
00:55:51Dorothy and her friends
00:55:52As they bring
00:55:52The Witch's Broom
00:55:53To the Wizard
00:55:54Wicked takes
00:55:55A different approach
00:55:56It shifts focus
00:55:57To the Ozians
00:55:58Or Munchkins
00:55:59In the film
00:55:59Celebrating the Witch's death
00:56:01As Glinda brings them
00:56:02The news
00:56:03The Wickedest Witch
00:56:04There ever was
00:56:06The enemy of all of us
00:56:07Here we are
00:56:08Is it
00:56:09The musical's opening number
00:56:14No one mourns the wicked
00:56:15Starts as an ominous celebration
00:56:17Of the witch's demise
00:56:18However, it quickly pivots
00:56:20Into telling us all
00:56:21That this isn't the story
00:56:22We think we know
00:56:23For one thing, it takes us right back to before Elphaba was ever born
00:56:41So have another drink
00:56:42Of green elixir
00:56:44And we'll have ourselves
00:56:46A little mixer
00:56:47Have another little small little lady
00:56:50And follow me down
00:56:53Her mom has an affair
00:56:55With a mysterious stranger
00:56:57Who gives her a green elixir
00:56:59That ultimately results
00:57:00In a green child
00:57:01We also see glimpses
00:57:02Of little Elphaba
00:57:03And Nessaros
00:57:04Giving us the context
00:57:06That Elphi's childhood
00:57:07May not have been the happiest
00:57:08Now, back in the present
00:57:10Glinda may not have convinced
00:57:12The munchkins to have some empathy
00:57:13But she's definitely pulled on
00:57:15Our heartstrings
00:57:16Just a little
00:57:17It's harder to ignore
00:57:18The undertones of sorrow
00:57:19In her voice
00:57:20As she counterpoints the ensemble
00:57:22Just as she's ready to leave
00:57:33Someone brings up the rumor
00:57:35That Glinda the good
00:57:35And the wicked witch of the west
00:57:37Were once friends
00:57:38She doesn't deny it
00:57:39But she pulls back
00:57:40From the word friend
00:57:41Signaling that there's more
00:57:43To the story
00:57:43And so
00:57:44The flashback begins
00:57:46Let me tell you
00:57:48The whole story
00:57:49Our paths did cross
00:57:52At school
00:57:54Dear old Shiz
00:57:56We now find ourselves
00:57:57At Shiz University
00:57:59On Galinda
00:57:59The ga is not yet silence
00:58:02First day
00:58:02It's here that we meet
00:58:04Several key characters
00:58:05Nessaros
00:58:06Bok
00:58:06And some of the teaching staff
00:58:08Who will play pivotal roles
00:58:10In the story
00:58:11We also see the first encounter
00:58:13Between Elphaba and Galinda
00:58:14Which as you might expect
00:58:16Doesn't go well
00:58:17You're green
00:58:19In the stage show
00:58:24We learn that Elphaba's father
00:58:26Governor Throp
00:58:27Only agreed to let her
00:58:28Attend Shiz
00:58:29So that she could
00:58:29Chaperone her sister
00:58:31In the film however
00:58:32Elphaba isn't even enrolled
00:58:34Until her magical abilities
00:58:35Catch the eye of Madame Morrible
00:58:37Regardless
00:58:38Elphaba and Galinda
00:58:39End up as roommates
00:58:40And their relationship
00:58:41Begins with an intense
00:58:43Mutual loathing
00:58:44Loathing
00:58:45Unadulterated loathing
00:58:48For your face
00:58:49Your voice
00:58:50Your clothing
00:58:50Let's just say
00:58:52I love it all
00:58:54The film adds
00:58:56A layer of tension
00:58:57With Galinda's jealousy
00:58:58Over Madame Morrible's
00:58:59Interest in Elphaba
00:59:00Madame Morrible
00:59:01Privately tutors Elphaba
00:59:03In the hopes of
00:59:03Developing her magic
00:59:04To one day work
00:59:05Alongside the wizard
00:59:06Absolutely remarkable
00:59:09Yet after a cruel prank
00:59:11Galinda has a change of heart
00:59:13And she and Elphie
00:59:14Become the best of friends
00:59:15We should also mention
00:59:17Fierro Tigular
00:59:18A prince from the
00:59:19Winky country
00:59:19And a late addition
00:59:20To their class
00:59:21He makes an impression
00:59:23Immediately
00:59:24Encouraging his classmates
00:59:25To live a more
00:59:26Carefree life
00:59:27Dancing through life
00:59:28No need to tough it
00:59:31When you can slough it
00:59:33Up as I do
00:59:35Nothing matters
00:59:37But knowing nothing matters
00:59:39Is just life
00:59:41So keep dancing
00:59:42Galinda is immediately
00:59:47Taken by him
00:59:48And they soon become
00:59:49A couple
00:59:50But the plot thickens
00:59:51Bach
00:59:52The munchkin Galinda
00:59:53Met on her first day
00:59:54Is also in love with her
00:59:56To deflect his affections
00:59:57Galinda emboldens him
00:59:59To ask out Nessa Rose
01:00:00Who is instantly
01:00:01Smitten in turn
01:00:02That perfectly adorable
01:00:04Munchkin boy
01:00:05Just ask me out
01:00:07But just when you think
01:00:08It couldn't get more tangled
01:00:10Elphaba and Fierro
01:00:11Share an intimate moment
01:00:12After an incident
01:00:13Involving a lion cub
01:00:15And some poppies
01:00:16However, there's one problem
01:00:18Elphaba's not that girl
01:00:19Honestly, it's almost Shakespearean
01:00:22I'm not that girl
01:00:26Now about that lion cub
01:00:29One of the central themes
01:00:31In Wicked
01:00:31Is the systematic oppression
01:00:33Of animals across Oz
01:00:34Who are being stripped
01:00:35Of everything that makes them
01:00:37Equal to their human peers
01:00:38Life in Oz was different
01:00:41So, when and why
01:00:44Did this change?
01:00:46From what I've read
01:00:47The Great Drought
01:00:47Precisely
01:00:48Okay, excuse me
01:00:50Like, raise your hand
01:00:51Dr. Dillamond
01:00:51Shiz's history professor
01:00:53Tries to warn his students
01:00:54About something bad
01:00:56Happening to animal kind
01:00:57But is silenced
01:00:58Before he can speak out
01:00:59Meanwhile, Elphaba and Fierro
01:01:05Rescue the cub
01:01:05Who, despite being freed
01:01:07Is later revealed
01:01:08To have somehow
01:01:09Been stripped of his courage
01:01:10This will all become relevant
01:01:12Stick with us
01:01:13But I could show my prowess
01:01:15Be a lion
01:01:16Not a mouse
01:01:17If I only had the nerve
01:01:19I'm afraid
01:01:22There's no denying
01:01:23I'm just a dandelion
01:01:25A fate I don't deserve
01:01:27I'd be brave
01:01:30As a blizzard
01:01:31I'd be gentle
01:01:32As a lizard
01:01:33I'd be clever
01:01:34As a gizzard
01:01:35If the wizard
01:01:36Is a wizard
01:01:37Who will serve
01:01:39Then I'm sure
01:01:41To get a brain
01:01:42A heart
01:01:43A home
01:01:44The knife
01:01:45One short day
01:01:46And something bad
01:01:48Revealed
01:01:48Remember how
01:01:49Madame Morrible
01:01:50Was training Elphaba
01:01:51To meet the wizard?
01:01:52Once you learn
01:01:54To harness your emotions
01:01:55The sky's the limit
01:01:58After the poppy incident
01:02:00Elphaba gets her
01:02:01Big invitation to the palace
01:02:02She and Glinda
01:02:03Yes, it's Glinda now
01:02:05Keep up
01:02:05Spend one short day
01:02:07Marveling at the wonders
01:02:08Of the Emerald City
01:02:09Before their big audience
01:02:10But this is where
01:02:11Things take a turn
01:02:12Elphaba tells the wizard
01:02:14That her heart's desire
01:02:15Is for him to help
01:02:16The animals
01:02:17So imagine how crushed
01:02:18She feels to learn
01:02:19That he's the one
01:02:20Behind their suffering
01:02:21You have no real power
01:02:23That's why I need you
01:02:25Worse still
01:02:26He planned to use her powers
01:02:28To further his cause
01:02:29And Madame Morrible
01:02:30Has been in on it
01:02:31This whole time
01:02:32When Elphaba refuses
01:02:34To go along with their scheme
01:02:35She's declared
01:02:36A national enemy
01:02:37Don't let her get away
01:02:39This wicked witch
01:02:42This betrayal leads
01:02:43Straight into the show
01:02:44Stopping Defying Gravity
01:02:45With one last battle cry
01:02:47Elphaba brings down the curtain
01:02:49On Act Slash Part 1
01:02:51Act Slash Part 2 begins
01:02:56It won't surprise you
01:02:57To learn that
01:02:58After the events
01:02:59We just discussed
01:02:59Elphaba is now
01:03:01Living as an outlaw
01:03:02Although she keeps
01:03:03Fighting for the animals
01:03:04Meanwhile
01:03:05Glinda is settling
01:03:06Into her new role
01:03:07As Glinda the Good
01:03:08And she and Fierro
01:03:09Are now engaged
01:03:10Surprise!
01:03:21Don't worry
01:03:21It's also a surprise
01:03:22To Fierro
01:03:23Who's now captain
01:03:24Of the wizard's guards
01:03:25However
01:03:26Unlike Glinda
01:03:27He's not satisfied
01:03:28With blithely smiling
01:03:30As Madame Morrible
01:03:30Continues to fan the flames
01:03:32Against his old friend
01:03:33In fact
01:03:42That is basically
01:03:43Why he joined the guard
01:03:44To find Elphaba
01:03:46So where is she?
01:03:48Okay here's where
01:03:49The spoilers really start
01:03:50In the stage version
01:03:51We find Elphaba
01:03:52Visiting her sister
01:03:53Nessa Rose
01:03:54Now the tyrannical
01:03:55Leader of Munchkinland
01:03:56Nessa has stripped
01:03:58The Munchkins
01:03:58Of much of their rights
01:03:59Just to keep
01:04:00Bach around
01:04:01And blames Elphaba
01:04:02For never using her magic
01:04:03To help her
01:04:04Elphaba decides
01:04:05To fix that
01:04:06You know when you're
01:04:07Hunting for shoes
01:04:07That are both stylish
01:04:08And practical
01:04:09Problem solved
01:04:10Nessa can now walk
01:04:12My shoes
01:04:13It feels like they're on fire
01:04:15What have you done
01:04:16To my shoes?
01:04:21Bach sees it
01:04:29As his chance
01:04:30To leave
01:04:30And confess his love
01:04:31To Glinda
01:04:32Before it's too late
01:04:33Panicked
01:04:34Panicked
01:04:34Nessa tries a love spell
01:04:35But it backfires
01:04:37Shrinking Bach's heart
01:04:38Elphaba steps in
01:04:40With damage control
01:04:41Ensuring he can survive
01:04:42Without a heart
01:04:43Tin his chest
01:04:44Even though Elphaba
01:04:45Literally just saved
01:04:46Bach's life
01:04:47Nessa throws her
01:04:48Under the bus
01:04:49It's due to her
01:04:50I'm made of tin
01:04:51Her spell
01:04:52Made this occur
01:04:53So for once
01:04:54I'm glad
01:04:54I'm heartless
01:04:55I'll be heartless
01:04:56Killing her
01:04:57And the lion
01:05:01Also has a grievance
01:05:02To repay
01:05:03If she'd let him
01:05:04Fight his own battles
01:05:05When he was young
01:05:06He wouldn't be
01:05:07A coward
01:05:08Today
01:05:08Dorothy crash lands
01:05:13In Oz
01:05:14Elphaba returns
01:05:16To the wizard's palace
01:05:17To free the flying monkeys
01:05:18But the wizard
01:05:19Spots her
01:05:19And tries once again
01:05:21To convince her
01:05:21How wonderful he is
01:05:23For a moment
01:05:36It almost works
01:05:37Until she finds
01:05:38Dr. Dillamond
01:05:39This reaffirms
01:05:40Her resolve
01:05:41To bring the wizard down
01:05:42Fierro helps her
01:05:44Escape and even
01:05:45Decides to join her
01:05:46Leaving Glinda
01:05:46Heartbroken
01:05:47Furious and hurt
01:05:49Glinda suggests
01:05:50The wizard and
01:05:50Madame Morrible
01:05:51Trick Elphaba
01:05:52Into a trap
01:05:52By making her
01:05:53Think Nessa Rose
01:05:54Is in danger
01:05:55Madame Morrible
01:05:56Goes one further
01:05:57Deciding that
01:05:58A change in the weather
01:05:59Should do the trick
01:06:00And this is where
01:06:01The wizard of Oz
01:06:02Starts to tie in
01:06:03It really was no miracle
01:06:05What happened
01:06:06Was just this
01:06:07The wind began
01:06:08To switch
01:06:08The house
01:06:09To pitch
01:06:10And suddenly
01:06:11The hinges
01:06:12Started to
01:06:13Unpitch
01:06:13Just then
01:06:14The witch
01:06:15To satisfy
01:06:16An itch
01:06:17When flying
01:06:18On her broomstick
01:06:19Thumbing for a hitch
01:06:20And oh
01:06:21What happened
01:06:22Then was rich
01:06:23You know that scene
01:06:25In The Wizard of Oz
01:06:26Where Glinda gives
01:06:26Dorothy the wicked
01:06:27Witch's shoes
01:06:28As if they're hers
01:06:29To give away
01:06:29Also how did she know
01:06:30They'd fit
01:06:31The ruby slippers
01:06:32What have you done
01:06:33With them
01:06:33Give them back
01:06:34To me
01:06:35Or I'll
01:06:36It's too late
01:06:36There they are
01:06:37And there they'll stay
01:06:39Give me back
01:06:44My slippers
01:06:45I'm the only one
01:06:46That knows how to use
01:06:47Them
01:06:47They're no use
01:06:47To you
01:06:48Give them back
01:06:49To me
01:06:49Give them back
01:06:51Keep tight
01:06:51Inside of them
01:06:52Their magic
01:06:53Must be very powerful
01:06:54Or she wouldn't
01:06:54Want them so badly
01:06:55You stay out of this Glinda
01:06:57Or I'll fix you as well
01:06:58Oh rubbish
01:06:59You have no power here
01:07:01Dig on
01:07:01Before somebody
01:07:02Drops the house
01:07:02On you too
01:07:03Very well
01:07:05I'll bide my time
01:07:07And as for you
01:07:08My fine lady
01:07:09It's true
01:07:10I can't attend you here
01:07:11An hour as I'd like
01:07:12But just try
01:07:13To stay out of my way
01:07:14Just try
01:07:16I'll get you
01:07:17My pretty
01:07:18And your little dog too
01:07:20Well
01:07:20Wicked picks up
01:07:21Just after Glinda
01:07:22Sends Dorothy
01:07:23On her merry way
01:07:24Down the yellow brick road
01:07:25The former friends fight
01:07:27And as Glinda predicted
01:07:28Although she didn't expect it
01:07:29To go quite this far
01:07:31The trap works
01:07:32And Elphaba's caught
01:07:33Only it's Fierro to the rescue
01:07:35Risking his own life
01:07:37To save Elphaba
01:07:38After she escapes
01:07:39She desperately looks
01:07:40For any spell
01:07:41That will save her beloved
01:07:42Who is now a prisoner
01:07:44Of the wizard's guards
01:07:45Let his flesh not be torn
01:07:47Let his blood leave no stain
01:07:49Will he be beaten
01:07:50Let him feel no pain
01:07:53Let his bones never break
01:07:55And however they try
01:07:57To destroy him
01:07:58Let him never die
01:08:00Let him never die
01:08:05Well it's as Fierro once said
01:08:15Life's more painless
01:08:17For the brainless
01:08:18I would not be just a nothing
01:08:20My head all full of stuffing
01:08:21My heart all full of pain
01:08:24I would dance
01:08:26And be merry
01:08:27Life would be a ding
01:08:28A dairy
01:08:29If I only had a brain
01:08:31Dorothy meets her companions
01:08:36Since Wicked focuses on Elphaba
01:08:39And Glinda's stories
01:08:40We don't actually see Dorothy
01:08:41At all in the stage version
01:08:43Except for her shadow
01:08:44But we're getting ahead of ourselves
01:08:46What we do know
01:08:47Is that at some point
01:08:48After No Good Deed
01:08:49Dorothy meets the Scarecrow
01:08:51The Tin Man
01:08:52And the Cowardly Lion
01:08:53Together they make their way
01:09:18To the Emerald City
01:09:19Where the wizard promises to help them
01:09:21If they bring him
01:09:22The Wicked Witch's broomstick
01:09:23It's risky
01:09:24Sure
01:09:25But we guess Dorothy
01:09:26Really wants to go home
01:09:27And we guess everyone else
01:09:29Has their own agendas too
01:09:30Bring me her broomstick
01:09:33And I'll grant your requests
01:09:36Now go
01:09:38But what if she kills this fight?
01:09:41I said Paul!
01:09:43Dorothy melts the witch
01:09:56In The Wizard of Oz
01:09:58The Wicked Witch captures Dorothy
01:10:00And desperately tries to pry those shoes off of her
01:10:02But to no avail
01:10:03Yet getting her hands on them
01:10:05Becomes a matter of life or death
01:10:07For Dorothy
01:10:08You've been more in trouble to me
01:10:09Than you're worth
01:10:10One way or another
01:10:11But it'll soon be over now
01:10:13You see that?
01:10:17That's how much longer
01:10:18You've got to be alive
01:10:19And it isn't long, my piggy
01:10:21It isn't long
01:10:23I can't wait for ever
01:10:24To get those shoes
01:10:25In Wicked, Glinda
01:10:38Who just realized the tornado
01:10:40That brought Dorothy to Oz
01:10:41Was no freak accident
01:10:42Arrives at the castle
01:10:44To warn Elphaba
01:10:45Of impending danger
01:10:46And to plead with her
01:10:47To let Dorothy go
01:10:48After receiving
01:10:49A mysterious letter
01:10:50Elphaba finally agrees
01:10:52She and Glinda
01:10:53Share a heart-wrenching
01:10:54Farewell
01:10:55That melts our hearts
01:10:56Because I knew you
01:10:58Because I knew you
01:11:02I have been changed for good
01:11:07This is now where you should play
01:11:08The two stories side by side
01:11:10With Dorothy throwing that bucket of water
01:11:12That melts the witch
01:11:13You cursed rat
01:11:15Look what you've done
01:11:16I'm melting
01:11:18Melting
01:11:19Oh, what a world
01:11:21What a world
01:11:22Who is not a good little girl like you
01:11:24To destroy my beautiful wickedness
01:11:27Look out
01:11:29Look out
01:11:30I'm going
01:11:31She's dead
01:11:49You cured her
01:11:50As Dorothy and her friends
01:11:52Return to the wizard
01:11:53With the broomstick
01:11:53Glinda mourns at the sight
01:11:55Where she just watched her friend melt
01:11:57While there
01:11:58She finds the bottle
01:11:59That once contained
01:11:59The green elixir
01:12:00That belonged to Elphaba's mother
01:12:02She puts two and two together
01:12:03And confronts the wizard
01:12:05Banishing him from Oz
01:12:06She also has
01:12:07Madame Morrible arrested
01:12:09Anyway
01:12:09Isn't it convenient
01:12:10That just as the wizard
01:12:11Finds he's overstayed his welcome
01:12:13There's this kid
01:12:14Who just happens to need
01:12:15A ride home to Kansas
01:12:16You forced me into a cataclysmic decision
01:12:19The only way to get Dorothy back to Kansas
01:12:21Is for me to take her there myself
01:12:23Oh, will you?
01:12:26Caught you?
01:12:27Oh
01:12:28Oh, but are you a clever enough wizard to manage it?
01:12:31Child, you cut me to the quick
01:12:33I'm an old Kansas man myself
01:12:35Born and bred in the heart of the western wilderness
01:12:38Premier Ballonus
01:12:39Power Excellence
01:12:40To the Miracle Wonderland Carnival Company
01:12:43Until one day
01:12:44While performing spectacular feats
01:12:46Of stratospheric skill
01:12:48Never before attempted by civilized man
01:12:50An unfortunate phenomena occurred
01:12:53The balloon failed to return to the fair
01:12:55Of course, he ends up leaving his travel companion behind
01:12:58But, yep
01:12:59This is how he makes his exit
01:13:01With his head still held high
01:13:02In front of his adoring crowd
01:13:04Fortunately, Glinda suddenly remembers
01:13:06To tell Dorothy
01:13:07That she had the power to get home all along anyway
01:13:09Now those magic slippers
01:13:11Will take you home in two seconds
01:13:12Oh, Toto too?
01:13:14Toto too?
01:13:15Oh, no
01:13:16Whenever you reach
01:13:18Oh, dear
01:13:19That's too wonderful to be true
01:13:22Oh, it's
01:13:24It's gonna be so hard to say goodbye
01:13:27I love you all too
01:13:30Off into the sunset
01:13:33Okay, last chance to avoid major spoilers
01:13:36Wicked returns us to the present
01:13:38Where Glinda has just finished recounting her tale
01:13:41Also during this final scene
01:13:43Fierro, now a scarecrow
01:13:45Arrives at the castle
01:13:46In one huge plot twist
01:13:48We learn that Elphaba is still very much alive
01:13:51And that whole melting thing was just staged
01:13:53So that she and Fierro could get their fresh start
01:13:56Together, they decide to leave Oz
01:13:58And as the show ends
01:14:00Both friends lament their friendship
01:14:01While the audience is definitely changed by Glinda's story
01:14:05The Ozians remain unmoved
01:14:06And continue their celebrations
01:14:08I have been changed
01:14:13Oh, my God
01:14:15Oh, Wicked
01:14:16Wicked
01:14:20Wicked
01:14:21Wicked
01:14:25Are there any parts of the timeline
01:14:32You still find Confuci-fying?
01:14:34Just follow the road
01:14:35It's gonna be direct
01:14:37To me
01:14:39Oh, if you care to find me
01:14:42To the western sky
01:14:45I don't
01:14:47Wicked
01:14:54For Good
01:14:54Is set to be the ultimate Oz finale
01:14:57And I, for one
01:14:59Can't wait
01:15:00I've been Matt
01:15:01For Mizmojo
01:15:02And I'll see you next time
