Tale
Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman because of her green skin, and Glinda, a popular girl, become friends at Shiz University in the Land of Oz. After an encounter with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads.. Discover Ariana Grande's painterly prowess, Cynthia Erivo's whistling brilliance, Jeff Goldblum's ear-resistible trick, Marissa Bode's 39;s artistic flair, and Ethan Slater's Broadway-booking secret skill.. Practical sets were built and supplemented with CGI rather than being filmed on green or blue screens.
This included planting 9 million tulips to serve as part of the landscape for Munchkinland
Chu wanted the world of Oz to feel like a real place rather than just a computer-generated background. In the classroom scene where Elphaba causes the flowers to rise in the air and the pollen sends the students to sleep, you can clearly see a wire suspending one of the flowers as it moves. It will be interesting if this gets corrected for the streaming and DVD release of the film.. Wizard: [from trailer] The best way to bring folks together is to give them a real good enemy..
Clarke, and Jenna Boyd

This film exceeded my expectations
Can we talk about how BLOWN AWAY I was by both Ariana and Cynthia's performances, and honestly the entire cast!Ariana wasn't kidding when she said she put her entire heart and soul into preparing for the role of Glinda . This is a dream come true for her, and I couldn't think of anyone else for this role.Cynthia's belting was out of this world. She stepped into the role of Elphaba with ease.The singing was LIVE mind you…. including the stunts.I will be watching a million times in theaters (and hopefully soon on digital) in anticipation for Part 2!.
