Wicked Watch A Long
Added 2025-02-10 17:34:23 +0000 UTCHey Peaches! You asked for. Jay has watched it before, but Adam has no idea about anything. How many times will Jay cry? And how will Adam find his way into the story? Prepare yourselves, this is a reaction FOR. THE. AGES!

2025-08-09 00:07:41 +0000 UTCAlso, Jay, I’m sorry - but you can’t cut I’m Not That Girl. That’s a very female thing, I think. So perhaps there’s a perspective thing involved?

2025-04-16 11:12:36 +0000 UTCWatching this again - you should definitely do some musical watch alongs with those that are on screen with their Broadway casts. Especially those you would be surprised at actually good. SpongeBob the musical. Shrek the musical. Titanic the musical. And of course the Hamilton one. And these are filmed ON STAGE. So it will be interesting. Come on, Adam - take it for the team! (Also, I bet you’ll like both Shrek and SpongeBob.)

2025-04-08 13:54:24 +0000 UTCJay I think you and I have the exact same opinions on all of this. The songs and moments that could be cut. Not being a huge fan of Act 2 and all that. It’s good to be seen

2025-02-27 00:07:02 +0000 UTCJoined Patreon for this and it was so worth it! As for the dancing scene, her choreography is supposed to be awkward because she's never been to a dance. That makes it more obvious that Glinda is learning her moves and makes it more clear when the rest of the crowd adopts it after Ginda embraces it - proving that popularity can normalize something weird, or as we see, her green skin. That said in the Broadway show the audience laughs at her along with the other students so it doesn't have the same emotional impact as the movie. So I agree it feels awkward but I think that's the point.

2025-02-20 06:56:18 +0000 UTCWhen Jay says book he's meaning the musical's talking parts - that's called the book of a play/musical. But it's a bit confusing for non-theatre people

2025-02-20 06:53:42 +0000 UTCThis was an absolute treasure of a (2.5 hr) moment to watch with you guys.

2025-02-17 03:32:58 +0000 UTCGod, this was so much fun. I read the book almost 20 years ago and never saw the musical so I have only the vaguest ideas of where things end up, so I'll be excited to watch part 2 when it rolls around.

2025-02-16 05:13:01 +0000 UTCIs this real?!?!?! This is what I've been waiting for and thought this day would never come! I've never done a watch-along, but this is THE moment! Procrastination on my thesis lives to fight another weekend. Thank you!

2025-02-12 08:59:15 +0000 UTCIn the Opening Ceremony for Shiz, a Professor or Dean of Shiz is listing the different professors that are in the University faculy and runs down a list of biosciences and Madame Mombi for Biology and Doc Dillamond for History. Then they announce, "Although Real Magic has become very rare in Oz nowadays, we are lucky to have our very own Madame Morrible." While it's true we don't see Madame Morrible actually cast magic until well into the movie, they did mention how rare magic has become. It's just very easy to miss because it's buried in a convocation speech, and who really listens to them?

2025-02-12 00:08:05 +0000 UTCUGH thank goodness!! I watched this in theaters and had a good time, but this was WAYYYY more fun!! And Jay, you clearly underestimated the amount of vengeance in this movie, Adam couldn't help but like it.

2025-02-12 00:04:23 +0000 UTCThis …. I’ve seen the actual Broadway with the original cast,and I went to see the movie, but I admit, I greatly enjoyed the watchalong, especially with Adam’s raw reaction. Thank you.

2025-02-11 21:45:18 +0000 UTCLoved watching (and singing) along with you on this! Gregory Maguire wrote the book. He did not have a cameo. Winnie Holzman wrote the musical based on the book. She also wrote the screenplay to the movie. Stephen Schwartz wrote the lyrics and music. L. Frank Baum had a cameo as the face in the book that Galinda opens during one of the songs with Elphaba. And the actress Jay starts to talk about but forgets, because he’s caught up in the movie is Broadway alum and “Greatest Showman” standout Keala Settle who is playing a new character created just for the movie.
