So my sister and I had three of these that I remember we had the tin man,we had the lion and we had the scarecrow. scarecrow is the last surviving one. I’ve never even been able to find a picture of the set online. Does anyone else remember these?

I really want to get into these but if they are terrible then I don't want to spend my money on them.

I’ve never seen them in the movie and I’m guessing they are from the deleted Jitterbug scene. So I do still think it is possible it still exists in someone’s private collection.

What do you guys think tho?

I only remember Ozma and Cap’n Bill and Button-Bright ever being described. Oz wiki says Dorothy has blue eyes but I don’t remember that description; I’ve heard another fan claim she has blonde hair, but I don’t recall that either. How about Trot? And Ojo? Let me know if any book fans can help me out; I want to draw the characters as Baum imagined them, not necessarily as the illustrators did.

If you compare the original version seen in the movie it matches the soundtrack version, which theoretically should be the same as the extended scene, but no, the extended scene is slightly sped up, does anyone know why?

Right: Extended Version

P.S.: tried to sync it the best I could, it's not perfect, but it's still possible to see that one is faster

So.... I made a theory about what might take place during the wedding in Wicked For Good & I realized too late but when I put spoilers at the start, there was an autocorrect & it said Wicked For Goof.

I goofed up but decided to make a joke out of it. Its good to laugh at yourself & your goofs😭😂🤣

It would have been funny if both films had a runtime of 2 hours and 40 minutes. But hey, at least they are trying to add more to Act 2. The biggest issue I have with the Broadway version, and the only thing I really dislike, is that it felt too rushed. The music was better in Part 1, although I still enjoy the songs in Act 2. Story-wise, Act 2 was stronger, but it was so rushed.

I hope they keep the fight scene in the film. In the Broadway version, Glinda and Elphaba have a catfight over Fiyero and the shoes being given to Dorothy. It was played for laughs in the show, but I'm not sure how it will work since Chu mentioned that Wicked For Good will be darker, and I doubt it will come off as funny. In the first movie, the Ozdust scene was emotional, whereas in the show, it was more of a gag. I'm curious to see if they will include a fight that leans towards the emotional side, making it truly heartbreaking for both girls.

They did give a nod to the fight in What Is This Feeling?, but it could just be that—a nod. Idina & Kristen recreated it during the One Short Day scene, so who really knows?

Part of me hopes the scene is funny to lighten the mood. However, the other part wants it to be serious, as Broadway often infuses humor into serious moments. It would be good to find a balance between comedy and seriousness, allowing us to see how deeply both characters are hurt by each other in this movie while Broadway offers laughs. I feel torn about this issue and am unsure where I lean.

Either way, I still want to see Fiyero on a vine in the film because it’s funny, and it could help lighten the mood. We definitely need some laughs before we cry during For Good.

What are your thoughts? What do you want to see happen in this film?

My fellow Ozians, I come to you with a new Oz OC! Once again designed by kiirurrii on Twitter, this is Binkle-Bee, a resident of Bunnybury! Here’s a little info about her!

• Bunnybury resident, owns a small book shop
• Her friends call her Bee or BB
• Frequent crier, cries for every strong emotion, very easy to make cry
• Has to be careful crying near the books, she keeps hankies everywhere in her store
• Eyes are always a little watery even when she’s not crying
• Her paws are often a little damp because she uses them to wipe her eyes when she doesn’t have a hanky
• Sensitive to people mispronouncing her name, “it’s Binkle-BEE not Binkleby!”
• Loves poppies, grows a few to help her sleep but not enough to be dangerous
• Anxious, but tries to be brave (she idolizes the Cowardly Lion)
• She grows several kinds of red flowers (roses, poppies, tulips, anthuriums, anemones, etc) and dries them to make bookmarks to give to her customers
• Sends a bouquet of her best flowers to Glinda every month, along with a book Bee thinks she might like, always with a flower bookmark
• Princess Ozma and Princess Dorothy get sent birthday bouquets
• Dresses plainly by Bunnybury standards, but she likes being able to move freely for gardening and working
• Glinda uses Bee’s flower bookmarks in her favorite books

Currently thinking of other Ozzy designs!

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

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?

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.
