Genre: Musicalverfilmung: in dieser Episode der Film „Wicked“ Thema und wir besprechen alles, von den Oscar-Nominierungen bis hin zu den wichtigsten Momenten der Handlung. Als (teilweise) Musical-Fans und Filmbegeisterte werfen wir einen kritischen Blick auf die Umsetzung des beliebten Musicals auf der großen Leinwand. Dabei stellen wir fest, wie sich die Chemie zwischen den Hauptdarstellerinnen Cynthia Erivo und Ariana Grande entfaltet und welche Rolle der Zauberer von Oz in dieser neuen Version spielt.Zuerst sprechen wir über die Oscar-Nominierungen des Films und unsere eigenen Erwartungen an die Länge des Films. Wir stellen uns die Frage, welche Herausforderungen er aufgrund der umfangreichen Handlung meistern muss. Ein besonderes Augenmerk legen wir dabei auf den Cast, besonders auf die Dynamik zwischen Cynthia Erivo und Ariana Grande und deren Darstellung der bekannten Charaktere Elphaba und Glinda.Im weiteren Verlauf sprechen wir über die CGI und Darstellung, die das visuelle Erlebnis des Films prägen. Besonders spannend ist die Rolle des Fiyero, die wir analysieren und auch die Darstellung des Zauberers von Oz durch Jeff Goldblum. Was macht ihn als Zauberer so besonders und wie trägt er zur gesamten Handlung bei?Ein zentraler Punkt in unserer Diskussion ist der zweite Teil des Films, der die Zuschauer sicherlich in Staunen versetzen wird. Wir sprechen darüber, wie der Film insgesamt wirkt, ob das Wissen eines bald erscheinenden zweiten Films sich auf das Filmerlebnis auswirkt und was dies für das Ende des ersten Teils bedeutet.Auch sprechen wir über die verschiedenen Versionen des Films und welche Unterschiede es zwischen dem Rewatch und der First-Watch gibt. Die Länge des Films bleibt ein Thema, das wir noch einmal aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven betrachten.Viel Spaß bei dieser Episode!--------------------------------------Ihr habt Filmtipps für uns?

From Book To Hollywood: Wicked Weaves Its Spell in Stunning Two-Part Epic

Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast

In this episode of the Fully-Booked podcast, we dive into the magical world of Wicked, the long-awaited film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical. Releasing in two parts, with the first installment hitting theaters in November 2024, Wicked promises to enchant audiences with its dazzling visuals, incredible performances, and timeless themes of friendship, acceptance, and personal growth. The Enduring Legacy of Oz Before delving into the specifics of the film, it's important to recognize the enduring cultural impact of the Oz universe. L. Frank Baum's original novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, was published in 1900, sparking a franchise that has captivated audiences for over a century. From the iconic 1939 film starring Judy Garland to countless adaptations across various media, the world of Oz has become a beloved part of our collective imagination. Wicked, based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, offers a fresh perspective on this classic tale. By exploring the origins and complex relationship between Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) and Galinda (the Good Witch), the story challenges our preconceptions and invites us to consider the nature of good and evil. From Stage to Screen: Adapting a Broadway Sensation The journey of Wicked from page to stage to screen is a testament to the power of great storytelling. The musical, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, premiered on Broadway in 2003 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. With its soaring melodies, clever wordplay, and heartfelt performances, Wicked has captivated audiences worldwide for nearly two decades. Meaghan: Shout out to, like, what is it? Steven Schwartz, who I think wrote the original stage musical. Shout out to him because he wrote some bangers for Popular. Bringing this beloved musical to the big screen was no small feat. Director Jon M. Chu, known for his work on Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights, faced the challenge of translating the stage production's magic and intimacy into a cinematic experience. By leveraging the power of film technology and assembling an all-star cast, Chu has created a visually stunning and emotionally resonant adaptation that stays true to the spirit of the original while expanding its scope and reach. A Star-Studded Cast and Stunning Visuals One of the film's greatest strengths is its exceptional cast. Pop sensation Ariana Grande brings her powerhouse vocals and comedic timing to the role of Galinda, while Tony Award-winner Cynthia Erivo delivers a deeply moving and nuanced portrayal of Elphaba. The chemistry between the two leads is palpable, and their performances anchor the film's emotional core. Meaghan: That's it. Like, I have no feelings really about Ariana Grande one way or another kind of thing, but she did a really good job. Shirin: She did a great job. Really good. The supporting cast is equally impressive, with standout turns from Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard. Each actor brings depth and complexity to their role, elevating the material and creating a rich tapestry of characters. Visually, Wicked is a feast for the eyes. The production design is lush and immersive, with intricate costumes, jaw-dropping sets, and stunning visual effects that transport the audience to the magical land of Oz. The film's use of color and light is particularly noteworthy, with Elphaba's emerald green skin and Galinda's pastel pink wardrobe serving as visual markers of their characters' journeys. Themes and Resonance At its core, Wicked is a story about friendship, acceptance, and the power of personal choice. Through Elphaba and Galinda's unlikely bond, the film explores themes of prejudice, conformity, and the consequences of our actions. As Elphaba grapples with her identity and the expectations placed upon her, she becomes a symbol of resilience and self-acceptance in the face of adversity. Shirin: But, like, a lot of, like, you know, it's when you actually, like, think about the plot itself, which they've they've kind of peppered in a little bit more into this movie to make it a bit longer, it was very long. It was very long. Yes. The first this is like I said, they've split it into 2 bits. This is part 1. It was 2 hours and 40 minutes long. These themes resonate deeply with contemporary audiences, particularly in an era where issues of social justice and individual identity are at the forefront of public discourse. By presenting a nuanced and empathetic portrayal of characters who have been historically villainized or marginalized, Wicked encourages viewers to question their assumptions and embrace the complexity of the human experience. Conclusion: The Magic Lives On As we eagerly await the release of Wicked: Part 2, it's clear that the magic of this beloved story is as potent as ever. Through its stunning visuals, incredible performances, and timeless themes, the film adaptation of Wicked has proven itself a worthy successor to the Broadway musical and a testament to the enduring power of the Oz universe. Whether you're a longtime fan of the musical or a newcomer to the world of Elphaba and Galinda, Wicked is a must-see cinematic event that will leave you spellbound. As the film casts its enchanting spell over a new generation of viewers, one thing is certain: the magic of Oz will continue to captivate and inspire audiences for generations to come.

WITCH, PLEASE! Get ready for a bumper episode of the podcast! So make yourself comfortable on your broom, as we are joined in the Reign studio by one of my favourite guests ever and one of the greatest performers of all time, Cynthia Erivo.  In case you've been M.I.A. in OZ visiting the Wizard or something and missed it, Cynthia stars as Elphaba in the movie adaptation of the mega musical hit, ‘Wicked', alongside Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda, and Jonathan Bailey, who aptly plays Prince Charming himself, Fiyero.  This isn't Cynthia's first dalliance with musicals. After starting out on the West End Cynthia went on to win a Tony, Emmy and Grammy award for her performance in ‘The Colour Purple' and was nominated twice at the Oscars for her performance in ‘Harriet' playing the racial freedom fighter, Harriet Tubman, and for the original song ‘Stand Up'. There is a reason Cynthia is only an O away from being an EGOT, but she's not just an incredible performer, she is an incredible conversationalist, too.  We cover SO much in this episode! We talk about Cynthia's ‘Wicked' journey - from auditioning to singing ‘Defying Gravity' for the first time on set, the life lessons she's learnt from Oprah and Ariana Grande, feeling like an outsider, how she *almost* became a spinal surgeon, and how her next role in life might take her off to Havard to study. Is there ANYTHING Cynthia can't do?  I loved sharing this incredible conversation with Cynthia, but it's the bits about embracing queer identity and the power of dreaming big that really made me tear up.  I hope this episode inspires you to defy gravity and dream big, and if you love it please get in touch, as I would love to talk to you about all the themes and just how incredible ‘Wicked' is, too. You can find me across socials @joshsmithhhosts and don't forget to come back next week for another great chat! Love Josh xxx P.S. In this episode you will have heard me chatting about my book book ‘Great Chat: Seven Lessons for Better Conversation, Deeper Connections and Improved Wellbeing' which is out now and you can get your hardback/ digital or audio book here: https://geni.us/GreatChat Whether you are already confident at chatting or are socially anxious this book really is for everyone and I hope it inspires you to turn even everyday conversation into a self development practice for your wellbeing and the good of those around you, too.

pWotD Episode 2763: Wicked (musical) Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 367,870 views on Sunday, 24 November 2024 our article of the day is Wicked (musical).Wicked is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. It is a loose adaptation of the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which in turn is based on L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939 film adaptation. The musical is told from the perspective of two witches, Elphaba and Galinda, before and after Dorothy's arrival in Oz. The story explores the complex friendship between Elphaba (who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West) and Galinda (who becomes Glinda the Good). Their relationship is tested by their contrasting personalities, conflicting viewpoints, shared love interest, reactions to the corrupt rule of the Wonderful Wizard, and ultimately, Elphaba's tragic fall.Produced by Universal Stage Productions with producers Marc Platt, Jon B. Platt, and David Stone, director Joe Mantello and choreographer Wayne Cilento, the original production of Wicked premiered on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre in October 2003, after completing pre-Broadway tryouts at San Francisco's Curran Theatre in May and June of that year. Its original stars included Idina Menzel as Elphaba, Kristin Chenoweth as Galinda, Norbert Leo Butz as Fiyero, and Joel Grey as the Wizard.The original Broadway production won a total of three Tony Awards and seven Drama Desk Awards, while its original cast album received a Grammy Award. The success of the Broadway production has spawned many productions worldwide, including a long-running West End production. Wicked has broken box-office records around the world, holding weekly-gross-takings records in Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis, and London. In the week ending January 2, 2011, the London, Broadway, and both North American touring productions simultaneously broke their respective records for the highest weekly gross. In the final week of 2013, the Broadway production broke this record again, earning $3.2 million. In 2016, Wicked surpassed $1 billion in total Broadway revenue, joining The Phantom of the Opera and The Lion King as the only Broadway shows to do so. In 2017, Wicked surpassed The Phantom of the Opera as Broadway's second-highest grossing musical, trailing only The Lion King.A two-part film adaptation was directed by Jon M. Chu and starred Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, Ariana Grande as Galinda, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard. The first part was released on November 22, 2024, with the second part to premiere on November 21, 2025.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:39 UTC on Monday, 25 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Wicked (musical) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Matthew.

Basking in bisexual lighting, this Broadway star spills on his role as Mary's Teacher in Oh, Mary! James gushes over the brilliance of Cole Escola, his character's pants giving Fiyero's a run for its money, and the stars that have taken in this hysterical romp, including RuPaul, Julia Murney, and Rita Moreno. But first, it truly all began with James' star turn as a Porcupine in a Christmas pageant. He takes us through his iconic list of Ring of Keys moments, ranging from cast albums to Emma Thompson to Stanley Tucci and beyond. James is a sweet and humble boy who gives flowers throughout, especially to his brilliant partner Julio Torres. We cover his time filming “You” with Penn Badgley, Fire Island with his Oh, Mary! co-star Conrad Ricamora, and the Broadway rumor mill.

There aren't many actors that are having, and about to have, a year like Jonathan Bailey. For Showtime's Fellow Travelers, a sprawling look at the Lavender Scare of the 1950s to the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s as told through the eyes of two lovers spanning these three decades, Bailey earned a Critics Choice Award for his performance in the series at Tim Laughlin and cheekily during his now viral speech thanking co-star Matt Bomer, “Those of you who have seen Fellow Travelers will know that Matt and I come together” and that was a moment I couldn't let pass by in my conversation with him after earning an Emmy nomination for Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie last month. He'll be guest starring on the third season of Netflix's Emmy-winning YA hit series Heartstopper in October and then the silver screen in November with the feature film version of the smash Broadway musical Wicked, portraying Fiyero, the prince of princes in the land of Oz. He's set to return to the stage next year in Richard II and oh, he'll also have the fourth Jurassic World film to catapult him into even more mainstream screen stardom next summer. For Bailey though, his focus is being able to talk about Fellow Travelers and like his co-star and fellow Emmy nominee Matt Bomer (read our interview with Bomer here), bringing the truth about this period in American history is something he's passionate about. Based on the 2007 novel by Thomas Mallon and created for television by Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia), the story chronicles the lives of staid State Department official Hawkins ‘Hawk' Fuller (Bomer) and rebellious but deeply Catholic political neophyte with the eagerness of a golden retriever, who wants to work in the Eisenhower administration in the late 1950s as the government began weeding out anyone suspected of homosexuality. Through marriages and children, secret retreats and rendezvous that push into the civil rights era of the 1960s, the gay sexual liberation of the 1970s and the brutality of the political reaction to the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, Hawk and Tim live deeply complicated and conflicting lives; of love and commitment, or lack thereof, of unbridled passion and sex, and ultimately acceptance. He goes into great detail about how the book and series came to him, how much he wanted to do a gay romance of this scope after hitting such a starry stride from the huge success of Bridgerton. With both of us being gay men, Bailey's language quickly becomes an inclusive ‘we' and ‘our' and he also takes time to ask what my experience and knowledge was like. I mention my grandparents, who probably never knew what the Lavender Scare was and he talks about how his 92-year old nana, who was born the same year as his character, watched the show and recalled someone she knew and worked alongside with who was gay and killed himself and that the show was able to reveal a way for her to process and understand it. He wants to relate and wants Fellow Travelers to reach and be related to. But through serious questions, Bailey and I take time to have fun. To joke about his Critics Choice speech, to talk about carrying Kylie Minogue to the stage at Hyde Park with Andrew Scott. “The real trophy for any gay man is carry Kylie Minogue,” he says, and he can't help but comment on Bomer's toes (“the most delicious I've ever come across”) and we venture into the show's nakedly erotic and vulnerable sex scenes. So cheeky. Bailey also wants to make sure that I knew the collective effort it took for him to bring Tim to life, shouting out his agents and reps (“The power of asking ‘why not?'”), and the cumulative nature of allyship in aligning him with gay journalists that ‘get it' because we're a part of the same community. “This is interview is knockout, one of my favorites,” he says, not to toot my own horn too much but then again, why not? As he says, “The conversations open when opportunities arise.” Jonathan Bailey is Emmy-nominated in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Fellow Travelers with the episode “Make It Easy.”

Ryan Vasquez looks back on his career journey, including living with French acrobats in a seven-bedroom house while doing a show, and eventually booking Hamilton. Playing as many characters as he has in Hamilton was to him just “paid therapy”. Having passed up competing offers to star in Water for Elephants and The Outsiders, he is now starring as Middle Noah in "The Notebook", Ryan opens up about why he chose to be part of the show–believing in its impact and just how it personally hits him hard. He reflects on the various aspects of the show, from having diverse couples portray the different stages of Noah and Allie's relationship to witnessing the audience cry and experience deep emotions during performances. He also discusses the misconception that the show is purely about sadness, noting that it touches on a range of emotions like joy and self-actualization. Ryan also talks about her chemistry with his co-star Joy Woods and how much real life fun they have performing together. Aware that he's stepping into an iconic role, he reveals that he doesn't feel pressured but instead focuses more on the importance of bringing his own authenticity to the character. After all, it's what motivates him: bringing his “authentic-isms” and self to the world. Ryan Vasquez can probably reenact all of Hamilton on his own having played multiple roles in the ensemble, including Philip Schuyler, Reynolds, Hercules Mulligan, James Madison, George Washington, Marquis de Lafayette, Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, and ultimately, the title role of Hamilton himself. He has been in “Wicked” as Fiyero and other roles, and in Broadway's production of “Waitress”. He can be seen on both the big and little screens in “The Good Fight”, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, “Tick, Tick... Boom!”, and “In the Heights”. He can now be seen as Middle Noah in the Broadway cast of “The Notebook”.

Now, more than ever, Black artists and actors need to be given the credit where and when it's due. The theater industry has come a long way in terms of creating an inclusive environment for all, but there's still plenty of room for improvement. As it is Black History Month, I wanted to bring the thoughts and ideas of extremely talented Black actors to the table and discuss what their experiences have been like thus far. Devin Holloway is currently playing “Richard Street” in the national tour of AIN'T TOO PROUD, Martina Sykes is currently on the road with THE LION KING as “Shenzi”, and Christian Thompson is fresh off the road from WICKED, having made history as one of the very few principal Black actors to have played “Fiyero” in the show's 20-year history. Black actors and artists bring important experiences to the table, as you'll hear in the first part of this two-part special!

Connor and Dylan are joined by Ashley Parker Angel (Wicked, Hairspray) to continue our Wicked 20th Anniversary celebration. The boys have a blast, having previously connected after seeing Ashley in Hairspray. You know Ashley as the former frontman of O-Town, the boyband sensation, as well as for his hit single “Let U Go.” Well, this heartthrob is our Fiyero feature, and he generously recalls his time in the tight white pants in Wicked. Ashley discusesses the meta experience of playing Link Larkin in Hairspray, performing alongside Lance Bass as Corny Collins, and where the cast would party all night long. He takes us back to Reading, CA, where his star turn as Danny Zuko launched his career, and led him to fall backwards into “Making the Band.” Ashley raves about working with Max Martin on his album Soundtrack to Your Life, and how he just might make a return to the stage in & Juliet someday. This former Fiyero dishes on his excitement for the Wicked movie, why he turned down Dancing with the Stars, and his fitness business High Level. Oh, and of course we get into the possibility of an OnlyFans and why Buzzfeed crowned Ashley as “King of Thirst Traps.” Follow Ashley on Instagram, Tiktok, & TwitterFollow DRAMA. on Twitter & Instagram & TiktokFollow Connor MacDowell on Twitter & InstagramFollow Dylan MacDowell on Twitter & InstagramEdited by DylanSupport the podcast by subscribing to DRAMA+, which also includes bonus episodes, Instagram Close Friends content, and more!
