    I’ve seen people say that it’s being done over two parts as they’ve added quite a bit more from the book to this and it’s not just an adaptation of the stage show. I’d still prefer films like this to just be one film (you can push 3 hours) rather than splitting them up.

    Wicked is my absolute favourite and I’ve been looking forward to this since I first heard about it. I do hope this has even half the success as the stage musical.

      I don’t mind adding more if it makes sense, but I’m not sure “more” is what this story needs, at least not in the middle.

      I assume most additions will be in the second half with the first ending where the musical splits (Defying Gravity). It’ll be a nice “the villain wins” ending with Glinda being torn about which side she is on. They can have her wrestle with it a bit more in the second film and include more Dorothy story.
