What Happened to Part 2, And The Story Behind It?
Now, when we talk about those who had the opportunity to enjoy the musical. It appears there was an incredible story behind the movie adaptation! Fans can understand why the show was split in two.
To those of you who have yet to experience this great performance. Let's just say it is not something that audiences are used to in Movies.
- There is a huge break after "Defying Gravity".
- It even includes intermission.
- A truly memorable transition from what is shown in "Wicked Part 1" is where it will pick back up to include the start of "Wicked Part 2.", making it super unique.
What happened behind the scenes? You've seen how amazing the "Wicked" movie is but when we're talking about splitting this into two movies. Stephen Schwartz, one of the creative minds behind "Wicked" said the music and a particular moment, is the true reason why they made the two-part choice. Even more impressive is he understood that there is this major magical and special, power-filled performance.
How Wicked Part 1 Will Set Up Wicked Part 2:
The two-part movie is more than just two pieces. What the movie is designed to show is how "Elphaba" and "Glinda" (or "Galinda" depending on where we're at in their journeys!)
- Fans will see an interesting, exciting story as their time in school will take center stage!
- This first "Wicked" part gives them the time to develop that relationship, as well as use the magic they learn to become super strong and incredible figures!
Fans can get a sense of Elphaba's big reveal of just who the Wizard of Oz actually is.
There is this fantastic revelation that she will take center stage!

To really make sense, "Wicked is something truly special! With the original two parts that were separated from one another!
"Wicked Part 1" takes this approach! This isn't some side story. It's truly a great foundation of The Wizard of Oz!
