The Wicked musical has been adapted into two individual movies, with one particular moment from the Broadway show serving as the logical end to part 1. The massively popular prequel story for The Wizard of Oz was first brought to Broadway back in 2003, and its fast success on the stage meant that an eventual movie was inevitable. Of course, there were significant challenges involved with bringing Wicked to the screen, and after years of development hell, two major motion pictures are on the way.
Wicked Part 1 Is Expected To End After Defying Gravity Defying Gravity Is The Final Scene Of Wicked's First Act Close The first Wicked movie is expected to end after the musical number"Defying Gravity," which serves as the finale of the first act of the Broadway show. While Act 2 contains some exceptional scenes, Elphaba's big moment comes in"Defying Gravity," making it the climactic high point of the overall story.
How Wicked Part 1 Splitting The Musical Will Set Up Part 2 Wicked Part 1 Is The Prequel, While Part 2 Happens During The Wizard Of Oz As previously mentioned, the two acts of Wicked split Elphaba and Glinda's stories into their school days and adult years. For this reason, the first Wicked movie will be primarily dedicated to these two developing their unlikely friendship, as well as the development of their magical powers.
The second act of Wicked takes place during the events of The Wizard of Oz but from Elphaba's perspective rather than that of Dorothy and her companions. In this way, the first Wicked movie will be the true Wizard of Oz prequel, which will set up the characters that ultimately play a role in Dorothy's iconic journey and the downfall of the deeply misunderstood Wicked Witch. Looking at the story this way, it's clear that there was no other option than splitting Wicked into two films.
