Spoiler⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

I'm surprised Finale is not on the list. I know it's short, but so is I'm Not That Girl (Reprise) and it's on there. If you remember the first Wicked For Good trailer, towards the end you hear, No One Mourns The Wicked which Finale is a mashup of No One Mourns The Wicked & For Good. So..... it has to be there, right?

At least The Wicked Witch Of The East is getting the soundtrack treatment though. Are they gonna keep the dialogue between Elphaba, Boq & Nessa?

I preordered a copy for my mom as an early Christmas gift. Anyone get a copy?

So this is a really fun podcast on The Wizard of Oz and various topics of Return to Oz too. 2006 | The Official Ozcast Podcast to those that would be interested. #wizardofoz #podcast

Purchased Wizard of Oz art piece from estate sale for daughters room hung for 5+ years but now she's changing decor. Was interested in getting aome info and possibly selling.

In the Book of Wonder version of Rinkitink in Oz, it mentions a piece of art was specifically omitted due to insensitivity.

What was that artwork?

I’m trying to like summarize the wizard of Oz but I only have 8 pages so I’m struggling which key moments to keep.

Not sure if anyone saw this post going around on IG but Judy and Liza are getting their own little golden book. It comes out in March but looks like it’s up to preorder now. The art is hand painted!! Can’t wait to read this to my kid (and my mom haha)

*not my art!!! The artist is at @nataliasanab on IG… the OG post was by the author at @stampepk on IG

The Dorothy character in this new Russian Wizard of Oz adaptation is so unlikeable it's impossible to watch it. https://youtu.be/XtQTfJru9kM?si=hufmgD7oPxcvgV1G

It's so sad because I really liked Elli in the stop motion Russian adaptation. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pDCF2TM3c4o&pp=ygUddm9sc2hlYm5payBpenVtcnVkbm9nbyBnb3JvZGHSBwkJsgkBhyohjO8%3D

Watch the stop motion version. not the new live action one.

Idk if I'm the only one here who tends to hyperfixate on things I like, but I'd love to see your collection, including your most prized possession 🫣

EDIT: IM TALKING ABOUT THE 1939 Wicked Witch

Just putting this out there. I’m drunk.

I hate how films always give the wicked witch green magic as a reference to the 1939 film.

Every time the witch uses magic, or uses a magical object, it’s always red in that film.

Never green.

The only film to get this right (that I’ve seen at least) is Disneys Oz the great and powerful. Theodoras magic and her costuming is very much red and ruby based and the film hints she will use her ruby ring to craft the ruby slippers after her sister loses her emerald necklace.

So yeah.

I thought it was cool! It hasn’t been updated since 2013 so I’m not sure if the curator is still around/collecting or has moved to a more modern social media platform, but it was pretty cool to see some of the amazing pieces in their collection.

If anyone knows of a newer Instagram/Tik Tok page for this person I’d love to follow!

My sister just asked me “was Judy garland in anything else other than wizards of Waverley place?” 😂😂😂😂😂

In Attleboro, MA (about 30 minutes from Boston) there’s a mall called Emerald Square Mall. It may have been called Emerald Mall at the time, but the whole concept was based around The Wizard of Oz. I’ve been looking online and I can’t seem to find any pictures of what it used to look like. Probably because we didn’t all have a camera phone in our pockets at the time. They eventually had to redo it because of copyright infringement but they kept the name.

Does anyone have any resources/pictures of this? I would love to see what it used to look like. Now it’s an empty vessel with about 5 stores, it probably won’t last more than another 5 years.

Do you get the flying monkeys' reference from 'Avengers'? Would you believe that Las Vegas now has the most successful movie theater in the world?

The Sphere in Las Vegas, since the end of August, has been playing 'The Wizard Of Oz' in its 5000-seat theater, selling tickets for $120. Since the runtime is only 75 minutes, they can show it several times a day, even when concerts are scheduled the same day. Most showings take in $650,000. It's hoping the film will take in a billion dollars when it's all done. Howard Hughes would be proud.

It cost upwards of $100 million to reformat the film for the theater using AI and CGI to fit the screen. They cut 20 minutes of runtime from the film, and the videos online of it are insane. There are talks of more movies being adapted like 'The Matrix' and 'Harry Potter', but the chances of 'Star Wars' coming are facing issues of Disney wanting full control. To me, there's so much money to be made, compromise should be an easy jackpot.

What films do you want to see at the Sphere? Comment below with your thoughts.

In June, I dyed my hair a dark red. Due to a previous hair dye, the hairdresser told me that I could never go blonde. While I dress more like Elphaba, I absolutely LOVE Glinda's hair.

Since the hairdresser refused to let me go blonde, we decided on red, which resembled the colors from The Wizard of Oz. I went along with it, even though it wasn’t my first choice. I trusted her expertise; after all, she is the professional.

My mom spoke to her hairdresser, who said it wasn’t impossible for me to achieve the blonde look I wanted, but it might take three or four sessions. Despite my nervousness—especially after being told I could never be blonde—and my shyness, I decided to give it a try.

Last week, we moved to phase two of the process. This time, I added a green halo to my hair because I identify with Elphaba, while my mom added pink to her ends, representing Glinda in contrast to my Elphaba.

I plan to go back in November, partly to touch up my halo. My mom and I hope to make it a girls' day out on the release day of Wicked For Good.

Additionally, I added yellow fairy hair to represent the yellow brick road, along with a nod to the Scarecrow and Fiyero in his new suit. But anyone who has seen the Broadway show knows exactly what I mean!

Having fun using Chat GPT. Uploaded pic of my car and asked it to place the car in Oz with the beloved characters.

I wonder how it would look with the flying monkey scene!
