00:00:00Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we are celebrating all the twists, reinventions, and spell-binding
00:00:09emotional moments in Wicked 2 that have fans buzzing for good. And we're starting with
00:00:15everything that you may have overlooked in the film.
00:00:19You don't want to miss this.
00:00:20Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're looking at details that might have flown over your
00:00:25head in Wicked 2 for good. There will be spoilers for both the film and stage musical.
00:00:30It's her quiet place where she gets to keep little pieces of her that feel like the real Galinda can still exist.
00:00:41Number 10, Water Can Melt Her.
00:00:44Bring me the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West, so I have proof that she's dead.
00:00:52In the Thank Goodness number, rumors about the so-called Wicked Witch of the West spread
00:00:57like wildfire. Of course, there is one thing that can extinguish fire and the witch. Water.
00:01:03At least, that's what Ozians are led to believe. One of the most notable lyrics in the song is
00:01:08that the witch is...
00:01:09In the stage version, this is the first time we hear of this rumor, which Elphaba ultimately uses
00:01:23to her advantage. Wicked for Good introduces this idea even earlier with a subtle detail.
00:01:29We see how propaganda and fake news are being promoted through the press.
00:01:33As one Ozian reads a gossip column, there's a headline reading,
00:01:37Water Can Melt Her.
00:01:38I also let you get wet.
00:01:40Number 9, The Wizard of Lies.
00:01:42A wonderful wizard of Oz.
00:01:46No one believed in you more than I did.
00:01:48Elphaba crashes the yellow brick road's grand unveiling to get the truth out.
00:01:52Since nobody will listen to her directly, she tries to get her message out through skywriting.
00:01:57Using her broomstick, she writes,
00:01:58Our Wizard Lies in the Clouds.
00:02:01This pays homage to a scene in 1939's The Wizard of Oz,
00:02:04when the Wicked Witch writes,
00:02:06Surrender Dorothy over the Emerald City.
00:02:08She's followed us here.
00:02:10Surrender Dorothy.
00:02:12Oh, Dorothy? Who's Dorothy?
00:02:15The wizard will explain it.
00:02:17Not only is it the same method of spreading the word,
00:02:19but the font is similar as well.
00:02:21Elphaba's efforts are in vain,
00:02:23as Madame Morrible uses her powers to manipulate the message into a threat.
00:02:27It's another reminder that weather is Morrible's specialty,
00:02:31with Cloud manipulating just being a warm-up for the twister she'll summon later.
00:02:35Perhaps a change in the weather.
00:02:40Number 8, The Rider's Identity Revealed.
00:02:43The first film opened with several recognizable images,
00:02:58such as the witch's hat, flying monkeys, a rainbow,
00:03:02and four companions walking down the yellow brick road.
00:03:05Yet there was another invisible whose identity eluded most audiences.
00:03:09Elphaba, they're coming for you.
00:03:13Just look at me.
00:03:15Not with your eyes, but theirs.
00:03:18Fleeing from Kiyomoko on horseback is a mysterious hooded figure.
00:03:23Wicked for Good reveals that it was Glinda all along.
00:03:26Here's the plan.
00:03:28I have no plan.
00:03:29Well, I do.
00:03:30Oh, thank Oz.
00:03:31This makes sense, as Glinda would have been recognized if she had traveled via Bubble.
00:03:34Considering how she made fun of her roommate's wardrobe when they were in school,
00:03:39we think it's fitting that Glinda has to dress like Elphaba for this rescue mission.
00:03:43It's one of several signs that Glinda has changed,
00:03:46with the black boots merely being the first step toward goodness.
00:03:49Number 7, Why the Caged Wizard Sings.
00:03:52I could tell him that I've been lying to him till I'm, forgive me, blue in the face.
00:03:58The wizard nearly convinces Elphaba to join him after he releases the flying monkeys.
00:04:02Being his former spy in the sky, though, Chistery knows all of the wizard's lies.
00:04:08He shows Elphaba a room full of caged animals, including a speechless Dr. Dillamond.
00:04:13After Elphaba frees the animals, the wizard gets his comeuppance in a few poetically ironic ways.
00:04:19First, Elphaba presses her broomstick against the wizard's neck.
00:04:22But there's no going back.
00:04:25And we can't move forward, not until everyone knows what I know.
00:04:27And once they know the truth...
00:04:29They're not going to believe it.
00:04:29For a moment, Elphaba takes away the wizard's ability to speak,
00:04:33just as he's done to the numerous oppressed animals.
00:04:36Fierro intervenes before Elphaba can go full wicked,
00:04:39but he does pull a gun on the wizard.
00:04:41The tables are turned as Fierro and Elphaba put the wizard in a giant cage like an animal.
00:04:46No good deed goes unpunished.
00:04:50That's my decree.
00:04:53Number 6, Foreshadowing Box Fate.
00:04:56Because I knew you.
00:04:58What have you done to me?
00:04:59Both Wicked films added a few hints that Bach was bound to become the Tin Man,
00:05:03giving him the surname Woodsman.
00:05:05I know we don't really know each other yet, but I...
00:05:08You know what I believe, Bick?
00:05:11It's Bick.
00:05:11It's Bach.
00:05:13That strangers...
00:05:15are just people I've never met.
00:05:20Bye.
00:05:21In Wicked for Good, we see Bach chopping wood for Nessa's fireplace,
00:05:25explaining how he got the axe.
00:05:28Most notably, Bach brings Nessa a tea set,
00:05:30which is seemingly comprised of the material that will soon make up his heartless body.
00:05:34Whatever you say, Madam Governor.
00:05:37I asked you to call me Nessa.
00:05:39Remember?
00:05:42Bach.
00:05:42Never mind.
00:05:47I'll call you when I'm finished.
00:05:50In the stage version, it's a little unclear why Elphaba went with a Tin Man form to save Bach.
00:05:56We feel like there were a few other spells that could have been used for a shrinking heart.
00:06:00I lost my heart to Glinda the moment I first saw her.
00:06:05Lost your heart?
00:06:07Well, we'll see about that.
00:06:09Here, it's made clearer that Elphaba is improvising with whatever she has on hand.
00:06:14In this case, tin teaware that fuses with Bach's body.
00:06:18Number 5.
00:06:19The significance of Glinda's rainbow.
00:06:21I want to be magical.
00:06:23For real.
00:06:24In a flashback, a young Glinda tries to cast a spell.
00:06:27Once her friends see a rainbow in the distance, they ask if she made it.
00:06:30Glinda doesn't exactly lie, but she isn't entirely honest either,
00:06:35saying that she loves rainbows.
00:06:36While the rainbow is an obvious Oz hallmark,
00:06:55Glinda's phrasing here echoes two lines from the stage show that resurface.
00:06:58When Glinda asks Fierro if marrying her will make him happy, he says he's always happy.
00:07:03When Elphaba receives word of what happened to Fierro,
00:07:07she tells Glinda that they've seen his face for the last time.
00:07:10Much like Glinda's comment about the rainbow,
00:07:12Fierro and Elphaba are technically telling the truth in these instances,
00:07:16but only from a certain point of view.
00:07:18That's the truth.
00:07:20Number 4.
00:07:21Animal Underground Railroad.
00:07:23When you feel you can't fight anymore,
00:07:26just tell yourself,
00:07:28there's no place like home.
00:07:32When you feel it's not worth fighting for,
00:07:36compel yourself,
00:07:38because there's no place like home.
00:07:44Animals serve as an allegory for marginalized groups in the Wicked book,
00:07:47stage musical, and films.
00:07:49You're the reason why people are turning against the animals.
00:07:52It's all because of you.
00:07:54We're doing this to keep people safe.
00:07:57All of Oz will benefit.
00:07:59And you've known all along.
00:08:02Since the day you met me.
00:08:04You will benefit too, Jerry.
00:08:06Wicked for Good brings more real-world subtext
00:08:09as construction begins on the yellow brick road.
00:08:12Although the road is supposed to be a symbol of progress
00:08:14that connects all of Oz,
00:08:16the animals are forced to build it.
00:08:18This is reminiscent of how enslaved African Americans
00:08:20worked on railroads in areas like the South before the Civil War.
00:08:24Little does the wizard know
00:08:25that the animals have formed a tunnel under the yellow brick road.
00:08:29Several animals use the tunnel to go into hiding,
00:08:32hoping to find a new home.
00:08:33It feels like a nod to the Underground Railroad,
00:08:36which is appropriate since Cynthia Erivo also played Harriet Tubman.
00:08:40We need to get back to work bringing slaves to freedom
00:08:42by train or carriage, horseback, on foot if necessary.
00:08:48Number three, Shoes on Fire.
00:08:51Because I knew you...
00:08:53L. Frank Baum's original book is in the public domain,
00:08:56which has allowed many artists to incorporate Oz
00:08:58and its characters into new stories.
00:09:01Dorothy's ruby slippers are specific to the MGM version, however.
00:09:04Then close your eyes and tap your heels together three times.
00:09:11And think to yourself...
00:09:14There's no place like home.
00:09:17There's no place like home.
00:09:21There's no place like home.
00:09:24As such, adaptations like Wicked often settle
00:09:27for the source material's less iconic silver shoes.
00:09:30Wicked provides a sneaky workaround, however.
00:09:32Mother's jeweled shoes.
00:09:38So they can all see how beautiful you are
00:09:41right down to your toes.
00:09:45Thank you so much.
00:09:47I love them.
00:09:48Let me put them with your boxes.
00:09:50Of course.
00:09:51Instead of giving Nessa the ability to walk,
00:09:54Elphaba grants her the power of levitation.
00:09:57The scene otherwise mostly plays out like it does in the stage version,
00:10:00with Nessa saying that it feels like her shoes are on fire.
00:10:03So much so that they begin to glow red.
00:10:06They may be knock-offs,
00:10:07but it's the closest the filmmakers can get to ruby slippers
00:10:10without receiving a cease and desist.
00:10:12The ruby secrets!
00:10:14What have you done with them?
00:10:15Give them back to me or I'll...
00:10:17It's too late!
00:10:18There they are,
00:10:19and there they'll stay.
00:10:24Number 2.
00:10:26Faces Behind the Curtain
00:10:27Goodbye, Dorothy.
00:10:28Bye, Dodo.
00:10:29It's just that one road the whole time.
00:10:31Some characters take center stage,
00:10:33while others hide in plain sight.
00:10:35We may never see her face,
00:10:36but Bethany Weaver landed one of the most popular roles in fiction
00:10:39as Dorothy in Wicked for Good.
00:10:41While Weaver is a newcomer,
00:10:43the sequel also has a few famous names that might have flown past you.
00:10:47The voice of the Cowardly Lion is none other than Coleman Domingo.
00:10:51I try to stay busy.
00:10:52I try to stay busy.
00:10:53The Cowardly Lion, I'm really excited about.
00:10:55Wicked is...
00:10:56The first film was one of my favorites last year.
00:10:59And now I'm just...
00:11:00You know, Cynthia Erivo is a dear friend,
00:11:01and Ariana Grande.
00:11:02And I get to come in with a nice little cameo as the Cowardly Lion.
00:11:05So I'm excited for people to see it.
00:11:07Former stage Elphaba Alice Fern also reprises her role as Glinda's mother.
00:11:11I love you.
00:11:12Just remember, it's not goodbye.
00:11:14It's farewell.
00:11:15We love you.
00:11:15Have all your kisses.
00:11:16And you will write.
00:11:17Yes.
00:11:18I love you.
00:11:18It's that time.
00:11:20Miss you already.
00:11:21Popsicle, board the boat.
00:11:23They are gonna miss me so much.
00:11:25My parents don't even know I left.
00:11:27Number 1.
00:11:30Recreating the poster.
00:11:31But there's no place like home.
00:11:37Elphaba and Glinda may never see each other again,
00:11:39but they're forever intertwined.
00:11:41During the bittersweet finale,
00:11:43we flash back to a happy memory between the two best friends.
00:11:46Is it true you were her friend?
00:11:52Friend?
00:11:53Yes.
00:11:59I mean, I did know her.
00:12:03That is...
00:12:05Our paths did cross.
00:12:18At school.
00:12:19Glinda whispers something in Elphaba's ear,
00:12:21putting a smile on her face.
00:12:23While we don't hear what,
00:12:24long-time Wicked fans will pick up on the message hidden in this closing shot,
00:12:28it's an homage to the original poster for the Wicked stage musical,
00:12:32which stems back to the show's pre-Broadway tryouts in San Francisco.
00:12:36The image of two witches sharing a secret reflects how this is their untold story.
00:12:40What's the full title of the musical title?
00:12:43Wicked, the untold story of the witches of all.
00:12:45Although there isn't a moment in the stage musical that quite resembles the poster,
00:12:49the film has immortalized this shot for good.
00:12:51I know I'm who I am today
00:12:54Because I knew you
00:12:58Think of what we could do
00:13:01Together
00:13:02Did we miss anything you picked up on in Wicked for Good?
00:13:07For many, Wicked for Good is the story they know.
00:13:11But it's not quite how they remember it.
00:13:13Let's break down now the movie's biggest differences from its Broadway counterpart.
00:13:25Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:13:29And today, we're looking at ways that Wicked for Good differs from the second act of its stage counterpart.
00:13:34There will be spoilers on both fronts.
00:13:36I have been changed for good.
00:13:46Number 10. More of Dorothy
00:13:48Monkeys! Find that Dorothy!
00:13:52Although Act 2 catches up to The Wizard of Oz, those events are pushed to the sidelines.
00:13:57Dorothy is an unseen figure, a silhouette shot being the most we ever get on stage.
00:14:02Wicked for Good remains focused on Elphaba and Glinda's story, but Dorothy does have more of a presence this time.
00:14:08Goodbye, Dorothy.
00:14:09Bye, Dodo.
00:14:10It's just that one road the whole time.
00:14:12Newcomer Bethany Weaver, who comes from a musical and dance background, steps into the role of Dorothy.
00:14:17While we still don't get a good look at her face, there are several shots from behind and from afar as Dorothy walks down the yellow brick road, meets the wizard, and is captured by the Wicked Witch's flying monkeys.
00:14:29I swear it never ends with that girl.
00:14:32We're still not entirely sure how she got home in this version, however.
00:14:35Number 9. It Takes Three to Be Wonderful
00:14:38Wonderful! They'll call you wonderful!
00:14:44Come and be wonderful!
00:14:47Trust me, it's fun!
00:14:48In the stage musical, Wonderful is shared between the wizard and Elphaba.
00:14:52The wizard makes one last plea for Elphaba to join him, almost convincing her that they can still do wonderful things together.
00:14:58They call me one, so I am one, in fact, it's so much who I am, it's part of my name.
00:15:12Elphaba doesn't just give up the chance to be celebrated throughout Oz, but also being with a father figure, in more ways than either realizes.
00:15:20Instead of a duet, the film ups the emotional stakes by bringing Glinda into the number.
00:15:25She's a welcome addition for a few reasons.
00:15:27They call him wonderful.
00:15:32So I am wonderful.
00:15:34He is so wonderful.
00:15:36Outside of For Good, Glinda and Elphaba aren't given many musical moments together in Act 2 of the show.
00:15:42Glinda's presence reinforces just how much Elphaba is sacrificing.
00:15:46Not just the wizard, not just Oz, but her best friend.
00:15:50Think of what we could do.
00:15:52Together.
00:15:53The first film featured a scene in which the wizard showcases his plan to construct a road that will lead all Ozians to him.
00:16:06He hasn't quite settled on a color, but Glinda favors yellow.
00:16:09The yellow, really?
00:16:10The wizard's vision for the Oz of tomorrow comes at the expense of the animal's rights.
00:16:24In Wicked For Good, enslaved animals are forced to lay bricks.
00:16:27While the stage musical revealed how animals are being oppressed and silenced, this film goes a step further, with them being used for free labor.
00:16:35This eerily mirrors how enslaved human beings have been used to build entire nations throughout history.
00:16:40It also still serves as an allegory for animal cruelty, as it's not far from how some are treated in reality.
00:16:57Number 7. Elphaba as a Vigilante
00:17:01The stage version suggests that Elphaba is doing what she can to help the animals and push back against the wizard.
00:17:12In Wicked For Good, we actually get to see this.
00:17:15I mean, who could?
00:17:17You know who could.
00:17:18We both know who could and who has.
00:17:21And I have to find her, because if someone else gets there first, she...
00:17:24Yeah, I'm worried for her too.
00:17:26I miss her.
00:17:28Can't you see? She doesn't want to be found.
00:17:31During the construction of the Yellow Brick Road, Elphaba swoops in, battling the guards mistreating the animals.
00:17:37She also attempts to expose the wizard's lies as Ozians gather to commemorate the newly established road.
00:17:42Beyond standing up against the establishment, we see Elphaba interact with the animals that she has dedicated her life to protecting.
00:17:49It's a very lonely road to have moral courage, and we get to see that in Elphaba, fighting for justice.
00:17:57Despite this, not every animal trusts Elphaba.
00:18:00given some of the things she's done in the past, even the ones who do would rather flee than fight,
00:18:05making it truly feel like it's Elphaba against Oz.
00:18:08No good deed goes unpunished.
00:18:12No act of charity goes unresented.
00:18:16Number 6.
00:18:18Bok trying to break free.
00:18:19Whatever you say, Madam Governor.
00:18:21I asked you to call me Nessa.
00:18:24Remember?
00:18:27Bok.
00:18:30Unlike the stage version, Elphaba already knows that their father is dead when she returns to Nessa,
00:18:35who has become the governor of Munchkinland.
00:18:38Act 2 of the stage show finds Bok reluctantly serving Nessa,
00:18:41who has forced the Munchkins to remain in their homeland,
00:18:43all in the name of unrequited love.
00:18:46Nessa?
00:18:46Yes?
00:18:47Uh, Nessa, surely now I'll matter less to you,
00:18:52and you won't mind my leaving here tonight.
00:18:56Wicked for Good provides more context,
00:18:59showing Bok's initial attempt to leave Nessa.
00:19:01Bok is ready to move on, but Nessa remains stuck in the past.
00:19:05Although Bok always carried a torch for Glinda,
00:19:08you get the sense that he at least cared about Nessa as a friend.
00:19:11Whatever affection he might have had for her is gone upon arriving at the train station,
00:19:15learning that Munchkins are forbidden to leave without Nessa's permission.
00:19:19Number 5.
00:19:20More of the Animals
00:19:21To fly!
00:19:25Wicked for Good gives more attention to the animals,
00:19:28who plan to flee Oz to the land beyond.
00:19:30Among them is Elphaba's former nanny, Dulcebear.
00:19:33Although Elphaba urges them to stay and fight,
00:19:36the cowardly lion argues against this.
00:19:38In his eyes, Elphaba didn't rescue him as a cub,
00:19:41but rather released him into an unfamiliar habitat.
00:19:44I didn't mean to scare you.
00:19:48Why is it you're always causing some sort of commotion?
00:19:51I don't cause commotions, I am one.
00:19:53That doesn't stop Elphaba from setting a room full of caged animals free.
00:19:58Seeing Dr. Dillamond imprisoned and unable to speak
00:20:00convinces Elphaba that she can never join the wizard.
00:20:03While that last part is in the stage musical,
00:20:05it's never made clear what exactly happened to Dillamond.
00:20:09The film provides more closure,
00:20:10seeing him return to the classroom
00:20:12as animals across Oz are given their rights back.
00:20:15Number 4.
00:20:16A Not-So-Wonderful Wedding
00:20:18Glinda tells Elphaba that she's marrying Fierro
00:20:27before even he knows.
00:20:29Fierro and I are getting married.
00:20:31Oh!
00:20:33He asked you already?
00:20:35Oh, he doesn't know yet.
00:20:36In fact, most of Oz hears the happy news
00:20:38before Fierro has any idea.
00:20:41Fierro agrees to go through with the wedding,
00:20:43although his heart belongs to another.
00:20:45Somehow I've fallen under your cell.
00:20:51Glinda and Fierro's wedding day never comes in the stage show.
00:20:55In Wicked for Good, they almost meet at the end of the altar.
00:20:58Glinda is trying on her wedding dress
00:20:59when Elphaba returns to the Emerald City.
00:21:02She puts a pin in her pending nuptials
00:21:03to convince Elphaba to join the wizard.
00:21:06Glinda takes off after seemingly getting through to her friend.
00:21:09As animals come crashing through the ceremony, though,
00:21:11Glinda's big day gets trampled over
00:21:13and the heartbreak is just beginning.
00:21:16There's a girl I know
00:21:19He loves her so
00:21:24While there was no undoing Nessa's tragic fate,
00:21:34the filmmakers made some progressive changes.
00:21:37Upon reuniting on stage,
00:21:38Elphaba enchants Nessa's shoes so she can walk.
00:21:41What have you done to my shoes?
00:21:45The PWD community helped Stephen Schwartz
00:21:57and Winnie Holtzman to see
00:21:58that this might have inadvertently sent the message
00:22:00that Nessa's problems would be
00:22:02quote,
00:22:02solved if she could just walk.
00:22:04To emphasize that was never their intention,
00:22:06the filmmakers strive to do right by Nessa.
00:22:09Casting Marissa Bodie,
00:22:10who uses a wheelchair in real life,
00:22:12was a great start.
00:22:13The fact that they're casting a disabled actor in Wicked,
00:22:17I think is so important.
00:22:18Being in a wheelchair,
00:22:19we can do anything.
00:22:20I'm so ready to fly.
00:22:22Rather than use her magic to make Nessa walk,
00:22:25Elphaba gives her the chance to fly.
00:22:27Even with magic,
00:22:28Nessa's problems won't go away.
00:22:30I'd always been unsure I could,
00:22:34but finally from these powers...
00:22:38Despite levitating,
00:22:39she continues her descent into darkness,
00:22:42becoming the Wicked Witch of the East.
00:22:44The Wicked Witch of the East.
00:22:48Number two,
00:22:50New Songs.
00:22:51Being a two-part cinematic experience,
00:23:11we were bound to get a few new tunes.
00:23:13The opening number is expanded upon,
00:23:15while Nessa is given a brief song
00:23:17that stresses why she's called
00:23:18the Wicked Witch of the East.
00:23:20If I can just make them believe in the truth,
00:23:23that all that he says is a lie.
00:23:26Elphaba's No Place Like Home
00:23:28serves as a rallying cry
00:23:29to fight for the place you hold dear,
00:23:31even if it's far from perfect.
00:23:33Why do I love this place
00:23:34that's never loved me?
00:23:38The song's name alludes to
00:23:40one of Elphaba's lines in the show,
00:23:41which in turn was a nod to Dorothy's iconic line.
00:23:44The girl in the bubble
00:23:45sees Glinda confront her life of luxury,
00:23:48realizing the bubble must pop
00:23:49for the greater good.
00:23:51For the girl in the bubble
00:23:54I'd like to try to be
00:23:56Glinda the good.
00:23:58If not for this new song,
00:23:59the I'm Not That Girl reprise
00:24:01would have been Glinda's only solo in this film.
00:24:03Don't wish.
00:24:06Don't start.
00:24:08Glinda is perhaps given the most development
00:24:23in Wicked for Good.
00:24:25Since childhood,
00:24:26she wanted to be magical,
00:24:27but it appears the closest she'll ever get
00:24:29is a mechanical bubble
00:24:30and a wand that's just for show.
00:24:32As Elphaba and Fierro venture beyond Oz,
00:24:35Glinda makes good on what her friend
00:24:37would have wanted,
00:24:38reintegrating the animals back into Oz.
00:24:40With this act of leadership,
00:24:41the Grimmery opens for Glinda.
00:24:43This change establishes that the Grimmery
00:24:45didn't respond to Elphaba
00:24:47simply because she had power since birth.
00:24:49It was because Elphaba
00:24:50has always possessed a good heart.
00:24:52Before knowing Elphaba,
00:24:54Glinda didn't truly understand
00:24:55the meaning of the word good.
00:24:56It is my heart's desire
00:24:58to become a sorceress.
00:24:59Thank you for having faith in me.
00:25:02Actually, I have no faith in you.
00:25:06This is your roommate's idea,
00:25:08not mine.
00:25:09Now that she does,
00:25:10she's ready to carry on
00:25:11what Elphaba started
00:25:12with the Grimmery's help.
00:25:14Do you think these changes
00:25:15were for the better?
00:25:18After watching Wicked for Good,
00:25:20The Wizard of Oz hits
00:25:21a little differently.
00:25:23Here's everything you'll notice
00:25:24when viewing the classic
00:25:26with fresh eyes.
00:25:28Haven't you heard?
00:25:31I'm a Wicked Witch of the West.
00:25:33Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:25:35And today,
00:25:36we're counting down our picks
00:25:37for the moments in Wicked for Good
00:25:39that made us pause at ClockTick
00:25:40and think back to how it all ties
00:25:42into The Wizard of Oz.
00:25:43Of course, this means
00:25:44we will be discussing plot points
00:25:46from the whole story.
00:25:47So this is your spoiler warning.
00:25:51I swear it never ends with that girl.
00:25:54Number 10.
00:25:55Could Dorothy hear Elphaba
00:25:57and Glinda singing for good?
00:25:59You may have seen all those TikToks
00:26:00of people reimagining for good
00:26:02from Dorothy's perspective.
00:26:03I ask forgiveness
00:26:05for the things I've done you blame me for.
00:26:09Like, like, and me, uh.
00:26:11But then I guess
00:26:12we know there's blame to shame.
00:26:15Not for me.
00:26:17They're funny, true,
00:26:18but also they do kind of have a point.
00:26:21Glinda literally came to beg Elphaba
00:26:23to let Dorothy go,
00:26:24but then gets sidetracked
00:26:25when she realizes this is goodbye.
00:26:27Elphaba,
00:26:28they're coming for you.
00:26:30So if you think about it,
00:26:38Dorothy is trapped in some basement,
00:26:40probably listening to every word
00:26:41that's being sung.
00:26:43What could possibly be going
00:26:44through her mind?
00:26:45Or maybe she was too distressed
00:26:47to pay attention.
00:26:48Either way,
00:26:48we're guessing it didn't leave
00:26:49much of a handprint on her heart
00:26:51because she still went ahead
00:26:52and threw that bucket of water.
00:27:01Number 9
00:27:02Hey, Madame Morrible,
00:27:04are you a good witch
00:27:05or a bad witch?
00:27:06When you live in a bubble,
00:27:08your thinking is likely
00:27:09to be a little black and white.
00:27:10Like Glinda,
00:27:11who has at some point in her life
00:27:13learned that only bad witches are ugly.
00:27:15Are you a good witch
00:27:16or a bad witch?
00:27:18If we were Dorothy,
00:27:19we'd be insulted
00:27:20if she'd even have to ask.
00:27:21Anyway, if anything,
00:27:23this sounds like she's just parroting
00:27:24some vile propaganda
00:27:26that's been spun
00:27:26to take down her friend.
00:27:28Her green skin
00:27:29is but an outward manifestorium
00:27:33of a twisted nature.
00:27:36However,
00:27:37we then also have to wonder
00:27:38if this is why
00:27:39she took far too long
00:27:40to question Madame Morrible's motives.
00:27:42Did she think no one that beautiful
00:27:43could possibly be bad?
00:27:45Instead,
00:27:46she learns the hard way
00:27:47that true beauty
00:27:48or ugliness
00:27:48lives on the inside.
00:27:50Wait.
00:27:56And shut your mouth!
00:27:59Number 8.
00:28:00Why does Glinda send Dorothy
00:28:01to the Emerald City?
00:28:03The wizard is all smoke and mirrors
00:28:04and Glinda knows that.
00:28:06So when she sent Dorothy
00:28:07and her little dog
00:28:08Dodo, is it?
00:28:09down the yellow brick road,
00:28:11what was she thinking?
00:28:12I'm a public figure now.
00:28:13People expect me to fly.
00:28:15Be encouraging.
00:28:17She knew he had no real power
00:28:18to help Dorothy.
00:28:19So was it just to get Dorothy
00:28:21out of the way?
00:28:22Was she concerned
00:28:23about a munchkin uprising?
00:28:24And we will glorify your name.
00:28:28You'll be a bust.
00:28:30You'll be a bust.
00:28:31In the hall of fame.
00:28:33Or maybe she was hoping,
00:28:35as a traveler himself,
00:28:36the wizard might actually
00:28:37surprise them all
00:28:38by being helpful for once?
00:28:40We guess it wouldn't have been
00:28:41very good for her image
00:28:42to simply say,
00:28:43sorry kid,
00:28:44can't help ya,
00:28:44and then float away
00:28:45in her bubble.
00:28:46She could have at least
00:28:47offered a shortcut.
00:28:48Goodbye Dorothy.
00:28:49Goodbye Dodo.
00:28:50It's just that one road
00:28:51the whole time.
00:28:52Number 7.
00:28:53Fly, fly, fly.
00:28:56Although Wicked
00:28:56isn't technically part
00:28:57of the Wizard of Oz canon,
00:28:59this is the point
00:28:59where both paths
00:29:00on the yellow brick road
00:29:01come back together.
00:29:02Before Elphaba had a name,
00:29:04we knew her simply
00:29:05as the Wicked Witch of the West.
00:29:07So it makes sense
00:29:07that the film tips
00:29:08its pointed hat
00:29:09to the 1939 version.
00:29:11Like Elphaba's cackle,
00:29:12which is clearly an homage
00:29:14to Margaret Hamilton's performance.
00:29:16Please.
00:29:17Where'd you get that?
00:29:21Also, when she frees
00:29:22the winged monkeys,
00:29:23she repeatedly tells them
00:29:24to fly.
00:29:25To fly!
00:29:27Echoing the line
00:29:28long tied to their send-off
00:29:30in The Wizard of Oz,
00:29:31it's a clever repurposing
00:29:32of a classic quote,
00:29:34reshaped to fit
00:29:35the Elphaba we meet
00:29:35in this story.
00:29:37Now fly!
00:29:38Fly!
00:29:38Fly!
00:29:41Number 6.
00:29:42How did the lion
00:29:43learn to speak?
00:29:45When we first meet the lion,
00:29:46he's just a frightened
00:29:47little cub,
00:29:48who we're told is caged
00:29:49so that he'll never
00:29:50learn to speak.
00:29:51One benefit of caging
00:29:52an animal this young
00:29:53is that in all likelihood
00:29:54he'll never learn to speak.
00:29:58Elphaba and Fierro
00:29:59break him out,
00:30:00and now, years later,
00:30:01he's back and quite articulate.
00:30:04So we have to wonder
00:30:04where he picked up speech,
00:30:06especially in a world
00:30:07where animals were being
00:30:08terrorized into silence.
00:30:09I haven't any courage at all.
00:30:11I even scared myself.
00:30:15Look at the cycles
00:30:17under my eyes.
00:30:18I haven't slept in weeks.
00:30:20Why don't you try
00:30:21counting sheep?
00:30:22That doesn't do any good.
00:30:23I'm afraid of them.
00:30:25Had he been lurking
00:30:26in the shadows,
00:30:27listening and learning?
00:30:29Considering his cowardice,
00:30:30we're guessing he wasn't
00:30:31exactly out there
00:30:32mixing and mingling.
00:30:33His grudge against Elphaba
00:30:34adds an interesting wrinkle,
00:30:36but he seems to miss the fact
00:30:38that without her,
00:30:39he wouldn't even have
00:30:40the voice he's using
00:30:41to gripe.
00:30:42You see,
00:30:42the lion also
00:30:43has a grievance to repay.
00:30:46If she'd let him
00:30:46fight his own battles
00:30:47when he was young,
00:30:48he wouldn't be a coward today!
00:30:55Number 5.
00:30:57How long had the Tin Man
00:30:58been rusting?
00:30:59In The Wizard of Oz,
00:31:00the Tin Man tells Dorothy
00:31:01he'd been rusted solid
00:31:03for about a year
00:31:03after getting caught
00:31:04in the rain.
00:31:05About a year ago,
00:31:06I was chopping that tree
00:31:08when suddenly
00:31:09it began to rain.
00:31:10And right in the middle
00:31:11of a chop,
00:31:13I rusted solid.
00:31:15And I've been that way
00:31:16ever since.
00:31:17Perhaps it only felt
00:31:18that long because,
00:31:19through the wicked lens,
00:31:20that timeline
00:31:21makes little sense.
00:31:23Bok escapes Nessa
00:31:24right after his transformation.
00:31:26And the next time
00:31:26we see her,
00:31:27she's out in the storm
00:31:28searching for him.
00:31:29Though we doubt
00:31:30she's been looking
00:31:31for an entire year.
00:31:32What have you done to me?
00:31:33Because...
00:31:34If she thought
00:31:35she was crushed
00:31:35by Bok abandoning her,
00:31:37she didn't yet grasp
00:31:38the meaning of the word.
00:31:39We also doubt Dorothy
00:31:40and the Scarecrow
00:31:41spent a year
00:31:42skipping down
00:31:43the yellow brick road
00:31:43before meeting the Tin Man.
00:31:45We were just wondering
00:31:46why you couldn't
00:31:46come with us
00:31:47to the Emerald City
00:31:48to ask the Wizard of Oz
00:31:49for a heart.
00:31:50Well, suppose the Wizard
00:31:51wouldn't give me one
00:31:52when we got there.
00:31:53Oh, but he will.
00:31:55He must.
00:31:56We've come such
00:31:57a long way already.
00:32:00Number 4.
00:32:01How did Glinda
00:32:01take Nessa's shoes
00:32:03without magic?
00:32:04For most of For Good,
00:32:05it's made quite clear
00:32:06to us that any power
00:32:07Glinda appears to have
00:32:08is just an illusion.
00:32:09Does that do
00:32:10what I think it does?
00:32:13No.
00:32:16No way.
00:32:19I'm obsesculated.
00:32:20We're really digging
00:32:21our heels in on this one,
00:32:22but how exactly
00:32:23did she get
00:32:24Nessa's shoes
00:32:24on Dorothy's feet?
00:32:26For one thing,
00:32:26Elphaba only recently
00:32:27enchanted them,
00:32:28so Glinda couldn't
00:32:29have even known
00:32:30of their magical qualities yet.
00:32:32Even in The Wizard of Oz,
00:32:33she seems to learn
00:32:34of their powers
00:32:35in real time.
00:32:36Give me back
00:32:37my slippers.
00:32:38I am the only one
00:32:39that knows how to use them.
00:32:40They're no use to you.
00:32:41Give them back to me.
00:32:43Give them back.
00:32:44Keep tight inside of them.
00:32:45Their magic must be
00:32:46very powerful,
00:32:47or she wouldn't want
00:32:48them so badly.
00:32:49You might think
00:32:49maybe the shoes
00:32:50chose Dorothy,
00:32:51but again,
00:32:52they were enchanted
00:32:53by Elphaba.
00:32:54So why would they
00:32:55choose the girl
00:32:56who just bumped off
00:32:56their previous wearer,
00:32:58a.k.a. her sister?
00:32:59But just try
00:33:00to stay out of my way.
00:33:02Just try.
00:33:03I'll get you,
00:33:04my pretty,
00:33:05and your little dog, too.
00:33:07Number 3.
00:33:08Did the Wicked Witch
00:33:09truly melt?
00:33:10We promise you
00:33:11we're not trying
00:33:12to rewrite cinema history.
00:33:13Even so,
00:33:14considering the twist
00:33:15not so ending
00:33:16to Elphaba's story,
00:33:17it does make you look
00:33:18at the original melting scene
00:33:20a little differently.
00:33:21Please, somebody
00:33:22go and melt her!
00:33:24I can't just
00:33:26start my grinning
00:33:27pretending to go
00:33:28along with all this.
00:33:29For starters,
00:33:30why would there be
00:33:31a fully loaded
00:33:32bucket of water
00:33:32in the witch's castle
00:33:33to begin with?
00:33:35Carelessness
00:33:35or malice?
00:33:36Who knows?
00:33:37Secondly,
00:33:38have you ever
00:33:38truly paid attention
00:33:39to the witch's swan song?
00:33:41I'm melting!
00:33:42I'm melting!
00:33:43Oh, what a world!
00:33:45What a world!
00:33:46Who would have thought
00:33:47a good little girl like you
00:33:48could destroy
00:33:49my beautiful wickedness?
00:33:51That's a little
00:33:52on the dramatic side,
00:33:53don't you think?
00:33:54Almost as if
00:33:55she's putting on
00:33:55a performance
00:33:56for the benefit
00:33:57of an audience, right?
00:33:58What a world!
00:33:59What a world!
00:34:00Would it be
00:34:00if this whole dramatic exit
00:34:02were also just for show?
00:34:04I'm going!
00:34:05Oh!
00:34:07Oh!
00:34:13Number 2.
00:34:15Why was Fierro
00:34:16hanging about with Dorothy?
00:34:17We get why the movie
00:34:18kept Dorothy
00:34:19mostly in the background,
00:34:20but as fans,
00:34:21we really wish
00:34:22they'd cleared up
00:34:23a few things
00:34:23about her new alliances.
00:34:25You're the best friends
00:34:25anybody ever had.
00:34:28And it's funny,
00:34:29but I feel as if
00:34:30I've known you
00:34:31all the time.
00:34:32But I couldn't have,
00:34:33could I?
00:34:34Like,
00:34:34did Fierro and Bach
00:34:36seriously not recognize
00:34:37each other's voices?
00:34:38Or maybe Fierro
00:34:39did clock Bach,
00:34:40but kept quiet,
00:34:41since Bach
00:34:42is definitely not
00:34:43Team Elphaba.
00:34:44Also,
00:34:45why is Fierro
00:34:45tagging along
00:34:46with the kid
00:34:46wearing Nessa's
00:34:47stolen shoes,
00:34:48who's literally
00:34:49been sent to kill
00:34:50Elphaba
00:34:50and take her broom?
00:34:52Bring me the broom
00:34:53of the Wicked Witch
00:34:54of the West.
00:34:56Did he think
00:34:56staying close
00:34:57would help him reach her?
00:34:58If so,
00:34:59that's quite a risk.
00:35:00We would have loved
00:35:01a little more insight
00:35:02into what was going
00:35:03through that straw-filled
00:35:04head of his.
00:35:05In my head,
00:35:06I'd be scratching
00:35:07while my thoughts
00:35:07were busy hatching
00:35:09if I only had a brain.
00:35:11Before we unveil
00:35:11our top pick,
00:35:12here are a few
00:35:13honorable mentions.
00:35:15The Poppies.
00:35:16Interesting,
00:35:17the wizard should
00:35:17adorn himself
00:35:18with Poppies
00:35:19when he has
00:35:19most of Oz
00:35:20fast asleep.
00:35:21With poison in it,
00:35:23but attractive
00:35:24to the eye
00:35:25and soothing
00:35:27the smell.
00:35:31Poppies.
00:35:33Poppies.
00:35:35Poppies will
00:35:36put them to sleep.
00:35:39Our Wizard Lies.
00:35:40We guess that
00:35:41surrender Dorothy
00:35:42skywriting
00:35:42wasn't her first attempt.
00:35:44Who's her?
00:35:45Who's her?
00:35:46It's the witch.
00:35:47She's followed us here.
00:35:49Surrender Dorothy.
00:35:52The Lullaby League.
00:35:54Does anyone else
00:35:54think the dancers
00:35:55during Thank Goodness
00:35:56are giving the Lullaby League?
00:35:58And in the name
00:35:59of the Lullaby League,
00:36:02we wish to welcome you
00:36:04to Munchkin Land.
00:36:07Where are those
00:36:08mean talking trees?
00:36:09It would give a whole
00:36:10new meaning to
00:36:11character growth.
00:36:12Right.
00:36:13Bye, Elphaba.
00:36:14Love you.
00:36:14from the shoulder.
00:36:15Yeah.
00:36:17You just always look
00:36:18just a joy.
00:36:19So good.
00:36:20Joyful.
00:36:20Number one.
00:36:22Why didn't Glinda
00:36:22just send Dorothy
00:36:23home to begin with?
00:36:25For decades,
00:36:26fans have pondered
00:36:27this question
00:36:27and even offered
00:36:28satirical answers.
00:36:30You've always had
00:36:31the power to go back
00:36:31to Kansas.
00:36:33Excuse me?
00:36:34Why didn't you
00:36:36tell her before?
00:36:37Because she wouldn't
00:36:39have believed me.
00:36:40Are you out of
00:36:40your f***ing mind?
00:36:42You came down
00:36:43with a big bubble.
00:36:44I would have believed
00:36:45anything that you said.
00:36:46However,
00:36:47it's possible that
00:36:48for good may have
00:36:49just given us
00:36:49the best response
00:36:50we could have asked for.
00:36:52As one social media
00:36:53theory suggests,
00:36:54when Glinda first
00:36:55meets Dorothy,
00:36:56she genuinely
00:36:57is unable to help
00:36:58because, well,
00:36:59she has no real magic.
00:37:00You can wave
00:37:03that wand all you want
00:37:04but you have
00:37:04no real power.
00:37:07However,
00:37:08by the time
00:37:08they reunite
00:37:09at the end,
00:37:10she now has
00:37:11the grimmery
00:37:11and as we see,
00:37:13it's her desire
00:37:13to genuinely do good
00:37:15that finally makes
00:37:16it open up for her.
00:37:17So, she can now
00:37:18send Dorothy home.
00:37:19As for the tapping
00:37:20of the heels
00:37:21and chanting,
00:37:22well,
00:37:22she does love
00:37:23a spectacle.
00:37:24Then close your eyes
00:37:26and tap your heels
00:37:27together three times.
00:37:30and think to yourself,
00:37:33there's no place
00:37:35like home.
00:37:37Is there anything else
00:37:38about Wicked for Good
00:37:39that made you rethink
00:37:40The Wizard of Oz?
00:37:42Get the tissues ready
00:37:43because here comes
00:37:45Wicked for Good's
00:37:46biggest emotional peaks.
00:37:49Just look at me.
00:37:51Not with your eyes.
00:37:54With theirs.
00:37:55Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:37:57And today,
00:37:57we're counting down
00:37:58our picks for the moments
00:37:59in Wicked for Good
00:38:00that had us
00:38:00weeping buckets.
00:38:02We will be discussing
00:38:03plot points,
00:38:04including changes
00:38:04from the stage show,
00:38:06so this is your
00:38:06spoiler warning.
00:38:16Number 10.
00:38:17The Girl in the Bubble.
00:38:18Following the March
00:38:19of the Witch Hunters,
00:38:20Glinda is finally forced
00:38:21to truly look at herself
00:38:23in the mirror.
00:38:23Is Good just a title
00:38:35she wears as an accessory,
00:38:37like her bubble?
00:38:38Or is it something
00:38:39she actually wants to be?
00:38:41The way the scene
00:38:41is shot is gorgeous,
00:38:43with the audience
00:38:44repeatedly glimpsing
00:38:45Glinda through her reflection,
00:38:47mirroring her performance
00:38:47of goodness for her
00:38:48adoring public
00:38:49and her true self,
00:38:50which feels almost lost
00:38:52in this house of mirrors.
00:38:53Technically,
00:38:54it was just such
00:38:55a massive assignment
00:38:57from making sure
00:38:58each step that I took
00:39:00matched on either side
00:39:01of the filming
00:39:02and then emotionally
00:39:02it had to line up
00:39:03and vocally it had to line up.
00:39:05Still, we see
00:39:05she's always held on
00:39:06to some of who she was,
00:39:08even if it's hidden away.
00:39:09Ariana Grande sings it
00:39:11with such sincerity
00:39:12that you can't help
00:39:12but feel moved.
00:39:24Number 9.
00:39:26Elphaba finds Dr. Dillamond.
00:39:28After Glinda and the wizard
00:39:29almost convince Elphaba
00:39:30to join them
00:39:31in being wonderful,
00:39:33Chistery points her
00:39:33toward a secret passage
00:39:35where the wizard
00:39:35has been keeping animals
00:39:36in cages.
00:39:37Elphaba had a premonition
00:39:39of this in part one,
00:39:40but that doesn't
00:39:41soften the blow.
00:39:42She spots her old professor
00:39:55among the imprisoned animals
00:39:56and learns he's lost
00:39:57his ability to speak,
00:39:59despite his promise
00:40:00to never stop speaking out.
00:40:09It's heartbreaking
00:40:10to see Dr. Dillamond
00:40:11stripped of everything
00:40:12that made him who he was.
00:40:14Seeing her former mentor
00:40:15this way breaks Elphaba,
00:40:17sharpening her resolve
00:40:18against the wizard.
00:40:19We might have known
00:40:20it was coming,
00:40:21but that didn't stop it
00:40:22from hurting us, too.
00:40:23It's you.
00:40:26You're behind all of this.
00:40:27Number 8.
00:40:28The wizard always wanted
00:40:29to be a father.
00:40:31Perhaps the one thing
00:40:32the wizard ever said
00:40:33that might hold any truth
00:40:34is that he always wanted
00:40:35to be a father.
00:40:36I am a sentimental man
00:40:38who always longed
00:40:41to be a father.
00:40:44And the only reason
00:40:45we believe that
00:40:46is his reaction
00:40:47when he learns
00:40:47that Chance had been
00:40:48in front of him all along,
00:40:50and he had doused it
00:40:51with a bucket of water.
00:40:52Turns out that drinking
00:40:53green elixirs
00:40:54results in green babies.
00:40:55You can almost see
00:41:10every reckless decision
00:41:11he ever made.
00:41:12Fueled by greed
00:41:13and ambition,
00:41:14flash before his eyes
00:41:15as he considers
00:41:16the ultimate cost
00:41:17of it all.
00:41:18The wizard is hardly
00:41:19a sympathetic character,
00:41:20but in this moment,
00:41:21his grief feels very real.
00:41:23You know,
00:41:24we could be like a family.
00:41:26You know,
00:41:26I've never really
00:41:27had a family.
00:41:28Lucky you.
00:41:29That's why I've wanted
00:41:30to give the citizens
00:41:30of Oz everything.
00:41:33Number 7.
00:41:34No place like home.
00:41:36Many of us can relate
00:41:37to not feeling
00:41:37like we belong somewhere
00:41:38that should feel like home,
00:41:40but perhaps no one
00:41:41knows that ache
00:41:42like Elphaba
00:41:42and the animals,
00:41:44who now feel
00:41:44they have no choice
00:41:45but to flee Oz.
00:41:46Why do I love this place
00:41:48that's never loved me?
00:41:53But there's no
00:41:55no place like home.
00:42:00Dulce Bear,
00:42:00perhaps the only one
00:42:01who ever made Elphaba
00:42:02feel like she belongs,
00:42:04is among them,
00:42:05a heartbreaking reminder
00:42:06of everything she's lost.
00:42:08It's all right,
00:42:09little one.
00:42:10Shh.
00:42:12Look after you.
00:42:14In this song
00:42:14about belonging,
00:42:15Elphaba questions
00:42:16why she's fighting
00:42:17so hard for a place
00:42:18that has always
00:42:19othered her.
00:42:20No place like home
00:42:21becomes a powerful call
00:42:22to fight for a world
00:42:23we can all live in.
00:42:25Cynthia Erivo shared
00:42:26that everyone
00:42:26was in tears filming it.
00:42:28And honestly,
00:42:29us too.
00:42:30It's them
00:42:31we'll be defeating
00:42:32if we keep on repeating.
00:42:36There's no place like home.
00:42:41Number 6.
00:42:42I'm Not That Girl
00:42:43Reprise.
00:42:44Fiero and Elphaba
00:42:44are reunited
00:42:45after an animal stampede
00:42:47crashes his
00:42:47and Glinda's wedding.
00:42:49After some tension,
00:42:50Elphaba learns that,
00:42:51thankfully,
00:42:52Fiero isn't as easily
00:42:54brainwashed
00:42:54as the rest of Oz.
00:42:56For a while there,
00:42:56I thought you changed.
00:42:59I have changed.
00:43:00When Glinda walks in,
00:43:01she's dealt
00:43:02a devastating blow.
00:43:04What she believed
00:43:05would be the happiest
00:43:05day of her life
00:43:06becomes one of her worst.
00:43:08She realizes
00:43:08she never truly
00:43:09had Fiero's heart
00:43:10and now believes
00:43:11the two people
00:43:12she loves most
00:43:13have betrayed her.
00:43:15Don't wish.
00:43:17Don't start.
00:43:22Wishingly
00:43:23warms the heart.
00:43:27As she walks
00:43:27through the setting
00:43:28that should have marked
00:43:29the start of her
00:43:29happily ever after,
00:43:31Glinda's heartache
00:43:32feels so authentic
00:43:33that we have to believe
00:43:34Grande was pulling
00:43:35from something very real
00:43:36and very painful
00:43:37and we feel it all.
00:43:38I'm not
00:43:40that
00:43:42girl
00:43:44number five,
00:43:53the face-off
00:43:54in Munchkinland.
00:43:55This time,
00:43:56it's Elphaba's turn
00:43:57to feel betrayed,
00:43:58thinking Glinda
00:43:59orchestrated Nessa's death
00:44:00to capture her.
00:44:01I'm a public figure now.
00:44:03People expect me to fly.
00:44:04Be encouraging.
00:44:06Fortunately,
00:44:07Fiero shows up
00:44:08just in time,
00:44:09demanding they let
00:44:10the green girl go
00:44:11by threatening Glinda's life.
00:44:13She's devastated,
00:44:14of course,
00:44:14but trusts he would
00:44:15never actually hurt her,
00:44:17proving it by moving
00:44:18so that the barrel
00:44:18of his gun
00:44:19is aimed at her face.
00:44:21You can't resist this.
00:44:22Who could?
00:44:23You know who could.
00:44:25It's almost like
00:44:26she's testing
00:44:26whether his love
00:44:27for Elphaba
00:44:28is more real
00:44:28than the love
00:44:29he ever claimed
00:44:30to have for her.
00:44:31For Glinda,
00:44:32this is a brutal
00:44:33reality check,
00:44:34shattering the illusion
00:44:35of whatever she believed
00:44:36she and Fiero shared.
00:44:38Even so,
00:44:39she clearly hasn't
00:44:40stopped caring for him.
00:44:41There's a girl I know
00:44:46He loves her
00:44:49so
00:44:50Number 4
00:44:52No Good Deed
00:44:54We all had high hopes
00:44:55for this showstopper
00:44:56and wow,
00:44:57did Erivo deliver.
00:44:59No Good Deed
00:45:12picks up right after
00:45:13the scene we just discussed,
00:45:15with Elphaba thinking
00:45:16about how her attempts
00:45:17to do good
00:45:17somehow ended up
00:45:19hurting the people
00:45:19she cares about.
00:45:20We know that's
00:45:21not totally true,
00:45:23but the emotion
00:45:23in every lyric
00:45:24gave us chills
00:45:25from the first
00:45:26Elphaba
00:45:26Naman Naman
00:45:27to the very
00:45:27last note.
00:45:29Nobody
00:45:29goes on the land
00:45:34Between the flashbacks
00:45:42and shots of Fiero
00:45:43in the field,
00:45:44the words hit
00:45:44even harder.
00:45:45She sings
00:45:46with so much power,
00:45:47hurt,
00:45:48and frustration
00:45:49that if she'd been
00:45:49in the room,
00:45:50we would have given
00:45:51her a standing ovation
00:45:52to rival the total
00:45:53movie run time.
00:45:54Since I can succeed
00:45:56Fiero saving you
00:45:58I promise
00:45:59No Good Deed
00:46:00Will I attempt
00:46:01to do again
00:46:03Ever again
00:46:05Number 3
00:46:07As Long As You're Mine
00:46:09On stage,
00:46:10this is probably
00:46:11the show's
00:46:11steamiest moment,
00:46:13but in the movie,
00:46:14they slow things down,
00:46:15with Elphaba
00:46:16still needing
00:46:16a little time
00:46:17to let her guard down.
00:46:18Kiss me too fiercely
00:46:23Hold me too tight
00:46:25I need help
00:46:27believing
00:46:28You're with me
00:46:31tonight
00:46:32Apparently,
00:46:36Jonathan Bailey
00:46:36improvised that moment
00:46:37where he takes off
00:46:38her cape to show her
00:46:39she's safe with him.
00:46:41The whole scene
00:46:41becomes this slow,
00:46:43careful peeling back
00:46:44of emotional layers,
00:46:45letting the audience
00:46:46really feel
00:46:47Elphaba's hesitation,
00:46:49her longing,
00:46:50and finally
00:46:50her euphoria.
00:46:51Come be how
00:46:52you want to
00:46:54And see how
00:46:57bright we shine
00:46:59Since she says
00:47:00she can't believe
00:47:01Fiero chose her,
00:47:02it makes sense
00:47:03that she needs time
00:47:04to let that sink in.
00:47:05The levitation
00:47:06is a sign
00:47:06that Elphi
00:47:07has finally accepted
00:47:08the joy of being
00:47:09truly seen and loved.
00:47:10And it's beautiful.
00:47:12As long as
00:47:13You're mine
00:47:17Number 2
00:47:22The Finale
00:47:23We thought we'd
00:47:24single-handedly
00:47:25cause a global
00:47:26tissue shortage
00:47:27watching the finale.
00:47:28Seeing Glinda
00:47:28fulfill Elphaba's
00:47:29heart's desire
00:47:30was beautifully
00:47:31satisfying.
00:47:32My heart's desire
00:47:33is for you
00:47:33to help the animals.
00:47:35Something bad
00:47:36is happening to them
00:47:36and they need you.
00:47:37Then seeing familiar
00:47:38faces from
00:47:39The Sugar Glider
00:47:40to Dr. Dillamond
00:47:41broke us.
00:47:41Then there was Glinda
00:47:43walking up the stairs
00:47:44with the Grimmery
00:47:45to the same place
00:47:45where she and Elphaba
00:47:46made their choices
00:47:47all that time ago.
00:47:49I've heard it said
00:47:50that people come
00:47:52into our lives
00:47:54for a reason.
00:47:57Seeing the Grimmery
00:47:57open for her
00:47:58after she vowed
00:47:59to truly live up
00:48:00to the name Good
00:48:01was the next moment
00:48:02that took us down.
00:48:03I'd like to try
00:48:04to be Glinda
00:48:05the Good.
00:48:07Finally,
00:48:07that closing shot
00:48:08recreating the show
00:48:09poster
00:48:10was the final straw.
00:48:12Sorry, Fierro.
00:48:13It was a good thing
00:48:14the movie ended there
00:48:15because we probably
00:48:16couldn't see or hear
00:48:17anything more
00:48:18after that anyway.
00:48:30Number 1.
00:48:31For Good
00:48:32It's no secret
00:48:33that our leading ladies
00:48:34formed a tight bond
00:48:35behind the scenes.
00:48:36When they sing
00:48:44what's already
00:48:44the emotional heart
00:48:45of the soundtrack
00:48:46it really feels
00:48:47like Cynthia and Ari
00:48:48are sharing the moment
00:48:49just as much
00:48:50as Elphaba and Glinda.
00:48:51They filmed
00:48:52multiple versions
00:48:53and John M. Chu
00:48:54ended up choosing
00:48:55the quietest
00:48:55most honest one
00:48:56stripping away
00:48:57all the bells
00:48:58and whistles
00:48:58so the audience
00:48:59can experience
00:49:00every emotion
00:49:01with them.
00:49:11And just when
00:49:12we thought
00:49:13we might never recover
00:49:14we get that final
00:49:15heartbreaking
00:49:16I love you
00:49:16as they become
00:49:17separated by the door.
00:49:18A moment
00:49:19they apparently
00:49:19improvised.
00:49:21It's a farewell
00:49:21that's sure
00:49:22to stay with
00:49:22the audience
00:49:23for good.
00:49:24I have been changed
00:49:27for good.
00:49:29which Wicked
00:49:30for Good
00:49:30moment
00:49:30will stay
00:49:31with you
00:49:31like a handprint
00:49:32on your heart?
00:49:34Okay
00:49:35as we saw
00:49:35earlier
00:49:36Wicked
00:49:36for Good
00:49:37forged
00:49:37its own path
00:49:38with many
00:49:39revisions.
00:49:40Well
00:49:40here now
00:49:41are five
00:49:42that soared
00:49:42and five
00:49:43changes
00:49:44that sparked
00:49:45debate.
00:49:51Welcome
00:49:51to Ms. Mojo
00:49:53and today
00:49:53we're counting
00:49:54down our picks
00:49:55for the stage
00:49:55to screen
00:49:56alterations
00:49:56from the second
00:49:57act of Wicked
00:49:58that were
00:49:58changed
00:49:59for the better
00:49:59and the ones
00:50:00that weren't
00:50:01as celebrated
00:50:01throughout all
00:50:02of Oz
00:50:02by longtime
00:50:03fans.
00:50:04Spoilers ahead.
00:50:05For a while
00:50:05there I thought
00:50:06you changed.
00:50:08I have changed.
00:50:10Number five
00:50:11Changed
00:50:12for the better
00:50:13The Politics
00:50:13of Munchkinland
00:50:14If we follow
00:50:15the yellow brick road
00:50:16back to where
00:50:17it began
00:50:17the Oz story
00:50:18has always carried
00:50:19a political pulse.
00:50:21The stage show
00:50:21brushes past
00:50:22how iron-fisted
00:50:23Nessa's rule
00:50:24over Munchkinland
00:50:24really is
00:50:25with Bach
00:50:26briefly explaining
00:50:27she took away
00:50:28most of the
00:50:28already limited
00:50:29rights the Munchkins
00:50:30had.
00:50:30Perhaps a friendly
00:50:31game of cards
00:50:32once I'm done
00:50:33working?
00:50:34Whatever you say
00:50:35Madam Governor.
00:50:36The movie takes
00:50:37a different approach
00:50:38with Bach
00:50:38witnessing Munchkins
00:50:39and animals
00:50:40being blocked
00:50:41from traveling
00:50:41without permits.
00:50:42It really brings
00:50:43the whole political
00:50:44climate into
00:50:45sharper focus
00:50:46with corrupt
00:50:47leaders targeting
00:50:47certain groups
00:50:48as they cling
00:50:49to their power.
00:50:50And back
00:50:50where I come
00:50:51from
00:50:51everybody knows
00:50:52that the best
00:50:53way to bring
00:50:54folks together
00:50:55is to give
00:50:57them a real
00:50:58good enemy.
00:51:00It also
00:51:00directly ties
00:51:01into the
00:51:01real world
00:51:02persecution
00:51:03Wicked has
00:51:03always alluded
00:51:04to.
00:51:05Something that
00:51:05sadly still
00:51:06feels painfully
00:51:07familiar today.
00:51:08The concept
00:51:09of a regime
00:51:11clinging to
00:51:12power by way
00:51:13of this cult
00:51:15of personality
00:51:15and we see
00:51:16an awful lot
00:51:17of how they
00:51:18use propaganda
00:51:19as a tool
00:51:20to do that
00:51:20and fear
00:51:21mongering
00:51:21and scapegoating.
00:51:23Number 5
00:51:24Controversial
00:51:25The Lion's
00:51:25Expanded Role
00:51:26In the stage
00:51:27show
00:51:28the cowardly
00:51:28lion is
00:51:29basically an
00:51:29off-screen
00:51:30presence
00:51:30other than
00:51:31a tale
00:51:31we see
00:51:32during
00:51:32March of
00:51:33the Witch
00:51:33Hunters.
00:51:33The lion
00:51:34also has
00:51:35a grievance
00:51:36to repay
00:51:36If she let
00:51:37him fight
00:51:38his own
00:51:38battles
00:51:38when he
00:51:39was young
00:51:39he wouldn't
00:51:40be a coward
00:51:41today!
00:51:45In the film
00:51:45we not only
00:51:46get to see
00:51:47him but hear
00:51:48him as well.
00:51:49As Elphaba
00:51:49tries to
00:51:50convince the
00:51:50animals to
00:51:51stay and
00:51:51fight for
00:51:52the Oz
00:51:52they want
00:51:53to live
00:51:53in,
00:51:54he finds
00:51:54enough courage
00:51:55to tell
00:51:55them all
00:51:55that Elphaba's
00:51:56not to be
00:51:57trusted.
00:51:57After all,
00:51:58she did
00:51:58cubnap him,
00:51:59right?
00:52:00Tell them
00:52:00what she
00:52:00did to
00:52:00you!
00:52:02How you
00:52:02were just
00:52:03a cub!
00:52:04And she
00:52:05cubnapped
00:52:06you!
00:52:06As the
00:52:07wizard says,
00:52:08it's all in
00:52:08which label
00:52:09is able to
00:52:10persist.
00:52:10However,
00:52:11that's it
00:52:11for the lion.
00:52:12Maybe after
00:52:13the fanfare
00:52:14over Coleman
00:52:14Domingo's
00:52:15casting,
00:52:16we were
00:52:16expecting
00:52:16more?
00:52:17And I get
00:52:18to come in
00:52:18with a nice
00:52:19little cameo
00:52:20lion,
00:52:20so I'm
00:52:21excited for
00:52:21people to
00:52:21see it.
00:52:26According to
00:52:27composer
00:52:27Stephen Schwartz,
00:52:28the creative
00:52:29team realized
00:52:29for a movie
00:52:30that,
00:52:30at its
00:52:31heart,
00:52:31is supposed
00:52:31to be
00:52:32about
00:52:32Elphaba
00:52:32and
00:52:33Glinda's
00:52:33friendship,
00:52:34the two
00:52:34of them
00:52:34barely spend
00:52:35any real
00:52:36time together.
00:52:37In the
00:52:37second act
00:52:37of the
00:52:38show,
00:52:39Glinda
00:52:39and Elphaba
00:52:40actually
00:52:40don't
00:52:41meet up
00:52:42again
00:52:42until
00:52:43very late
00:52:44in that
00:52:45second act.
00:52:45They also
00:52:46figured that
00:52:46adding Glinda
00:52:47to this
00:52:47number would
00:52:48make her
00:52:48way more
00:52:49complicit
00:52:49in the
00:52:50wizard's
00:52:50whole
00:52:50operation
00:52:51and give
00:52:52her a
00:52:52fuller
00:52:52arc
00:52:53overall.
00:53:02For us,
00:53:05it also
00:53:05made sense
00:53:06that an
00:53:06old friend
00:53:07might talk
00:53:07Elphaba
00:53:08around more
00:53:08easily than
00:53:09the wizard,
00:53:10whom she
00:53:10clearly doesn't
00:53:11trust.
00:53:12With Glinda,
00:53:13she has years
00:53:13of history,
00:53:14which gives
00:53:15her more
00:53:15pull,
00:53:16especially when
00:53:16she reminds
00:53:17her of those
00:53:17more wonderful
00:53:18times they once
00:53:19shared.
00:53:26Number four,
00:53:28controversial,
00:53:29lyric changes
00:53:30to wonderful.
00:53:31While Glinda
00:53:31being added
00:53:32was actually
00:53:32kind of
00:53:33wonderful,
00:53:34the new
00:53:34lyrics and
00:53:34that whole
00:53:35intro,
00:53:36not so much.
00:53:36Take it
00:53:37from a
00:53:37wise old
00:53:38carny.
00:53:39Once folks
00:53:40buy into
00:53:41your blarney.
00:53:43This song's
00:53:43whole point is
00:53:44the wizard
00:53:45pulling back
00:53:45his emerald
00:53:46curtain and
00:53:46being real
00:53:47with Elphaba
00:53:48for once.
00:53:48We already
00:53:49said that
00:53:49she's not
00:53:50easily swayed,
00:53:51but it's
00:53:51his realness
00:53:52here that
00:53:52almost gets
00:53:53her.
00:53:53It feels
00:53:55wonderful,
00:53:56they think
00:53:57I'm
00:53:57wonderful,
00:53:59and look
00:54:00who's
00:54:00wonderful,
00:54:02this corn
00:54:02fed egg.
00:54:04In the new
00:54:04version,
00:54:04though,
00:54:05it feels
00:54:05more like
00:54:05it's about
00:54:06his smoke
00:54:06and mirrors
00:54:07act and
00:54:07carnival
00:54:08past.
00:54:08Come on,
00:54:09would Elphaba
00:54:09really go for
00:54:10that?
00:54:11Fans
00:54:11weren't
00:54:11happy that
00:54:12some of
00:54:12the lyrics
00:54:13they loved
00:54:13got swapped
00:54:14for weaker
00:54:14ones,
00:54:15which kind
00:54:16of watered
00:54:16down Elphaba's
00:54:17temptation
00:54:17and her
00:54:18main conflict
00:54:19in that
00:54:19moment.
00:54:20Is one
00:54:20an invader
00:54:21or noble
00:54:23crusader?
00:54:24It's all
00:54:25in which
00:54:26label is
00:54:27able to
00:54:28persist.
00:54:29Number three,
00:54:30changed for the
00:54:31better,
00:54:31the Wicked Witch
00:54:32of the East.
00:54:33There were
00:54:33several changes
00:54:34to this number,
00:54:35from Elphaba's
00:54:36entrance to her
00:54:37prior knowledge
00:54:37of their dad's
00:54:38passing,
00:54:39the slower
00:54:39melody,
00:54:40and some
00:54:40lyric changes.
00:54:41A while back,
00:54:53we learned
00:54:53that,
00:54:54unlike in
00:54:54the stage
00:54:55version,
00:54:55Nessa wouldn't
00:54:56gain the ability
00:54:57to walk in
00:54:58the movie,
00:54:58remedying the
00:54:59show's more
00:54:59ableist approach.
00:55:01Instead,
00:55:01we get this
00:55:02really lovely
00:55:02moment where
00:55:03Elphaba helps
00:55:04her sister relive
00:55:05the feeling she
00:55:05had that night
00:55:06at the
00:55:06Oz Dust
00:55:07ballroom.
00:55:19What unfolds
00:55:20shifts the
00:55:21focus away
00:55:21from her
00:55:21wheelchair as
00:55:22a so-called
00:55:23limitation,
00:55:24and toward her
00:55:25unrequited love
00:55:25for Bach.
00:55:26His transformation
00:55:27is even more
00:55:28shocking than
00:55:28the stage version.
00:55:30It's this
00:55:30generation's
00:55:31winged monkey
00:55:31nightmare fuel
00:55:32for sure.
00:55:34Number three,
00:55:35controversial,
00:55:36The New Songs.
00:55:37With the film
00:55:38now split into
00:55:38two parts,
00:55:39there's more
00:55:40time to delve
00:55:40into what
00:55:41our two leads
00:55:42are feeling.
00:55:42Broadway,
00:55:43Broadway beat,
00:55:46Broadway beat,
00:55:48Broadway beat.
00:55:50For Elphaba,
00:55:50No Place Like Home
00:55:51is her plea
00:55:52to the animals
00:55:53not to leave,
00:55:54while reflecting
00:55:54on her own
00:55:55experiences in Oz.
00:55:57Some fans loved
00:55:57the emotional depth,
00:55:59but others felt
00:55:59it dragged the story
00:56:00and disrupted
00:56:01the pacing.
00:56:02When you feel
00:56:03it's not worth
00:56:04fighting for,
00:56:05compel yourself
00:56:07because there's
00:56:08no place
00:56:09like home.
00:56:12The Girl in the Bubble
00:56:13is when Glinda
00:56:13finally faces
00:56:14the consequences
00:56:15of her choices.
00:56:16Again,
00:56:17for some,
00:56:17this felt like
00:56:18filler and just
00:56:19a little meh.
00:56:20They also found
00:56:21the timing odd,
00:56:22although that's
00:56:23since been explained
00:56:23by the movie's editor.
00:56:25Both songs are staged
00:56:26and performed beautifully,
00:56:28but we wonder
00:56:28if we'd miss them
00:56:29if they weren't there.
00:56:30Isn't it high time
00:56:34for her bubble
00:56:36to pop?
00:56:39Number 2.
00:56:40Changed for the Better
00:56:41The Animals Get
00:56:43More Screen Time
00:56:43One of the best
00:56:44changes in this film
00:56:45is how the animals
00:56:46become more active
00:56:47participants in the story.
00:56:48It's a very lonely
00:56:49road to have
00:56:51moral courage,
00:56:52and we get to see
00:56:53that in Elphaba
00:56:54fighting for justice.
00:56:56On stage,
00:56:57we mostly hear
00:56:58about her mission,
00:56:59but the movie
00:56:59lets us see it.
00:57:01She reunites
00:57:01with Dulcibear,
00:57:02who is among
00:57:03the animals fleeing Oz,
00:57:04and we've already
00:57:05discussed the lion's
00:57:06bigger role.
00:57:07It also raises
00:57:08the emotional stakes
00:57:09by revealing a chamber
00:57:10full of caged animals,
00:57:11where Elphaba finds
00:57:12her former professor,
00:57:13now stripped of speech.
00:57:15It all ties perfectly
00:57:16into her motivation
00:57:17in for good,
00:57:18because we really see
00:57:19what she's fighting for.
00:57:20She's actually
00:57:21embracing the magic
00:57:23that she has
00:57:23and figuring out
00:57:25how to use that
00:57:25to do good
00:57:26the way she needs to.
00:57:27By deepening
00:57:29her connections
00:57:29with the animals,
00:57:31the film makes
00:57:31her mission
00:57:32feel more immediate
00:57:32and their suffering
00:57:34far more urgent.
00:57:35But think how
00:57:36you will grieve
00:57:37for all you leave behind.
00:57:40Oz belongs
00:57:41to you too.
00:57:47Number 2.
00:57:48Controversial.
00:57:49Losing the transition
00:57:50after I'm Not That Girl
00:57:51reprise.
00:57:52One of the most
00:57:53iconic musical moments
00:57:54in Act 2 of Wicked
00:57:55is that seamless transition
00:57:57from the I'm Not That Girl
00:57:58reprise to
00:57:59As Long As You're Mine.
00:58:01I'm not that girl.
00:58:14Glinda's heartbreak,
00:58:15cutting right into
00:58:16Elphaba and Fierro's
00:58:17love story,
00:58:18works beautifully
00:58:19on every level.
00:58:20But the film
00:58:21slows this down,
00:58:22giving the audience
00:58:23more time to sit
00:58:24in Glinda's grief
00:58:25and builds
00:58:25more slowly
00:58:26toward the love duet.
00:58:44The original version
00:58:45underscores Glinda's loss
00:58:46in the most painful
00:58:47way possible.
00:58:48Her dream is ending
00:58:50just as her friend's
00:58:51true happiness
00:58:51is beginning
00:58:52and the audience
00:58:53is forced to feel
00:58:54both sides
00:58:54intensely and instantaneously.
00:58:57Sadly,
00:58:57we're kinda robbed
00:58:58of that
00:58:59without that
00:58:59immediate transition.
00:59:00I'm not that girl.
00:59:14Number 1.
00:59:16Changed for the better.
00:59:17The ending.
00:59:18From For Good
00:59:19to that final shot
00:59:20might just be
00:59:22the strongest part
00:59:23of the movie.
00:59:31Glinda finally gets
00:59:32a clear redemption arc,
00:59:34taking charge
00:59:34and using her new position
00:59:36to truly make good
00:59:37in Oz.
00:59:38We were so happy
00:59:39we could melt
00:59:40when she followed through
00:59:41on Elphie's wish
00:59:41and welcomed all
00:59:42Ozians back into society.
00:59:44We can't let good
00:59:45be just a word.
00:59:48It has to mean something.
00:59:49Seeing Dr. Dillamond
00:59:50back in his classroom
00:59:51brought tears to our eyes.
00:59:53The movie keeps
00:59:54the musical's
00:59:54bittersweet ending
00:59:55but adds a magical
00:59:56final moment,
00:59:58the grimmery opening
00:59:59for Glinda.
00:59:59Some believe
01:00:00it's a sign from Elphaba
01:00:01but we think it opens
01:00:03because Glinda
01:00:03is finally living
01:00:04up to her title,
01:00:06Glinda the Good.
01:00:07I'd like to try
01:00:07to be Glinda the Good.
01:00:10Number 1.
01:00:11Controversial.
01:00:12A new take on
01:00:13As Long As You're Mine.
01:00:14No, not because
01:00:15of that cardigan.
01:00:16On stage,
01:00:17Elphaba and Fierro
01:00:18can't keep their hands
01:00:19off each other.
01:00:20As long as you're mine
01:00:23I'll wake up my night
01:00:26And make up all my time
01:00:32In the movie,
01:00:33it's a slower development
01:00:35with Elphaba starting
01:00:36at a distance
01:00:37and the two working
01:00:38their way toward
01:00:38that moment of levitation.
01:00:40The reason is sweet.
01:00:41Elphaba can't believe
01:00:43Fierro chose her
01:00:44and after years
01:00:45of guarding herself
01:00:46she can't let her
01:00:47walls down instantly.
01:00:48I need help believing
01:00:50You're with me tonight
01:00:55Fierro has to prove
01:00:58she's safe
01:00:59and that it's real.
01:01:00Since the film
01:01:00can't exactly pause
01:01:02every viewing
01:01:02to explain that
01:01:03these changes
01:01:04were kinda confusing.
01:01:06It's also possible
01:01:06it was edited
01:01:07to fit its PG rating.
01:01:09So does that mean
01:01:10there's a steamier
01:01:11uncut version somewhere?
01:01:13What is it?
01:01:16For the first time
01:01:17I feel
01:01:17wicked.
01:01:20What changes
01:01:20were you thrillified by
01:01:22and which did you find
01:01:23most scandalacious?
01:01:24We are going to end
01:01:27things today
01:01:27by peeling back
01:01:28the curtain
01:01:29and looking at
01:01:30behind the scenes
01:01:31stories about
01:01:32the making
01:01:32of Wicked for Good.
01:01:35You know
01:01:35when we were talking
01:01:36about just Wicked
01:01:37part one
01:01:38we couldn't talk
01:01:39about the full breath
01:01:40and meat
01:01:41of what this story
01:01:42actually is.
01:01:43Welcome to
01:01:44Ms. Mojo
01:01:45and today
01:01:46we're counting down
01:01:47our picks
01:01:47for the most
01:01:47thrillifying
01:01:48behind the scenes
01:01:49tidbits from
01:01:50Wicked for Good.
01:01:50I'm sorry
01:01:52all my contact
01:01:53came out.
01:01:54It was a really
01:01:55cherished moment.
01:01:56I loved scaring you.
01:01:59Number 10
01:01:59The Right Kind
01:02:00of Yellow
01:02:01As we saw
01:02:02in part one
01:02:03finding a color
01:02:04that
01:02:04It just says
01:02:05road to me
01:02:05is incredibly important.
01:02:07What we didn't
01:02:08get to see however
01:02:09was how they
01:02:10perfected the shade
01:02:11of yellow
01:02:11that screams
01:02:12road the loudest.
01:02:13According to
01:02:14John M. Chu
01:02:14when we first
01:02:15saw his yellow
01:02:16brick road
01:02:16it didn't seem
01:02:17yellow enough.
01:02:18Just because
01:02:19you see one thing
01:02:19with your eyes
01:02:20doesn't mean
01:02:21the camera
01:02:21captures it
01:02:22the same way.
01:02:23The yellow
01:02:23brick road
01:02:24is one of
01:02:24the most
01:02:25indelible visuals
01:02:26in movie history
01:02:26so it had
01:02:27to be perfect.
01:02:29I did not
01:02:29understand
01:02:30emotionally
01:02:31how it would
01:02:31feel until
01:02:32you have
01:02:32the yellow
01:02:32brick road
01:02:33in front of you
01:02:33and you're like
01:02:34oh shit
01:02:35we're making
01:02:36Oz
01:02:38that was like
01:02:39a surreal
01:02:40moment.
01:02:42The team
01:02:42ended up
01:02:43working to
01:02:43the wire
01:02:44to ensure
01:02:44the brightness
01:02:45popped on
01:02:45screen
01:02:46just as it
01:02:46had all
01:02:47those years
01:02:47ago.
01:02:49One thing
01:02:55you may not
01:02:56know about
01:02:56Michelle Yeoh
01:02:57is that she
01:02:58comes from
01:02:58a dance
01:02:59background.
01:03:06This turned
01:03:07out to be
01:03:07quite helpful
01:03:08when she was
01:03:08trying to
01:03:09find her
01:03:09character's
01:03:10movements
01:03:10and how
01:03:11to convey
01:03:11so many
01:03:12layers of
01:03:12depth
01:03:13through
01:03:13hand gestures.
01:03:14She
01:03:14collaborated
01:03:15with
01:03:15choreographer
01:03:16Christopher Scott
01:03:17to come up
01:03:17with the
01:03:17movements
01:03:18Madame Morrible
01:03:18would conjure
01:03:19up when
01:03:19summoning
01:03:20a certain
01:03:20something.
01:03:21She would
01:03:21just start
01:03:22to move
01:03:22with the
01:03:23influences
01:03:24from Tai Chi
01:03:25and from
01:03:25Kung Fu
01:03:26and martial arts
01:03:27and through
01:03:28that and
01:03:29then I do
01:03:29like a lot
01:03:30of finger
01:03:30tightening
01:03:30and hand
01:03:31stuff and
01:03:31so I
01:03:31would just
01:03:32we had
01:03:32never said
01:03:33it verbally
01:03:33but it
01:03:33was like
01:03:33she would
01:03:34go into
01:03:34that world
01:03:35and I
01:03:35would like
01:03:35work with
01:03:36her there
01:03:36and I
01:03:36would be
01:03:36like
01:03:37and then
01:03:37like
01:03:37little
01:03:37things
01:03:37like
01:03:38oh I
01:03:38like
01:03:38that.
01:03:39They
01:03:39worked
01:03:39together
01:03:39on even
01:03:40the smallest
01:03:40styling
01:03:41to come up
01:03:41with these
01:03:42gestures
01:03:48grand
01:03:48swishy
01:03:49sleeves
01:03:49that you
01:03:50just
01:03:50want to
01:03:50swoop
01:03:51around.
01:03:51Of course
01:03:52Paul had
01:03:53designed
01:03:53the most
01:03:53amazing
01:03:54dress
01:03:54that I
01:03:55need
01:03:55these
01:03:55long
01:03:56you know
01:03:58sleeves
01:03:58that I
01:03:59could
01:03:59flick
01:03:59in the
01:04:00air
01:04:00which I
01:04:01did
01:04:01and
01:04:02the
01:04:03effect
01:04:03was
01:04:03spectacular.
01:04:05Number
01:04:058.
01:04:06The
01:04:06makeup
01:04:07process.
01:04:08How much
01:04:08time do
01:04:08you spend
01:04:09on your
01:04:09makeup
01:04:09routine?
01:04:10Granted
01:04:11probably
01:04:11few of
01:04:12us
01:04:12get
01:04:12fully
01:04:12greenified
01:04:13as
01:04:13part
01:04:13of the
01:04:14process
01:04:14but
01:04:15by the
01:04:15sounds
01:04:15of it
01:04:16Cynthia
01:04:16Erivo's
01:04:17daily
01:04:18like an
01:04:18endurance
01:04:19test.
01:04:19Every
01:04:20day
01:04:20was a
01:04:212 hour
01:04:2245

01:04:27a half

01:04:28a derig
01:04:29is when
01:04:29everything
01:04:29comes off.
01:04:30It would
01:04:31take around
01:04:313 hours
01:04:32to get her
01:04:32ready
01:04:33and then
01:04:33about an
01:04:33hour and
01:04:34a half
01:04:34to get
01:04:35it all
01:04:35off
01:04:35at the
01:04:36end
01:04:36of the
01:04:36day.
01:04:37Oh
01:04:37and
01:04:37did we
01:04:37mention
01:04:38that this
01:04:38was over
01:04:38a long
01:04:39period?
01:04:40So
