I'm talking about Dorothy specifically. . as to the others?  they appear in Act II. . which is the next movie

^ Ah, okay. But to me, it still asks the question about "why are they with her in Act 1" in that shot? <hugs>

You ever hear of flashbacks? The majority of the musical is told in flashback form. We go into flashbacks immediately after No One Mourns the Wicked. I was curious how the narrative structure would be addressed in the movie given that film part 1 is just musical act 1.

I will be so glad when Part 2 opens next November, and all the SPOILERS will be revealed, AND I can hopefully find out why what I asked about (see the near-bottom of page 243) .... happened in Part 1. Sorry to be vague, but there are people out there who still don't know the musical  in it's entirety, and this movie will be the only time they actually see WICKED.

P.S. I do know that the entire musical is one big flashback, between the first scene in Act 1, and the final scene in Act 2.

After now seeing WICKED, and eventually, awaiting WICKED: For Good, it occurred to me that maybe Part 1 should have it's own 'tag line'.

For that, I referred to the lyrics that Madame Morrible sings to Elphaba, before Elphaba launches into "The Wizard and I."

Morrible's last lyric is "You'll be making good." So why not list the#1 film as WICKED: Making Good.... ?

Kind of ironic, that we all know where trying to "make good" at Zhiz, got Elphaba, hmmm?   Works for me.
