Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba using her magic in Wicked
Wicked's reported runtime is a major green flag, signaling how the movie adaptation can take the core ingredients from Broadway musical by Stephen Schwartz and conjure up something even more magical. Given the mammoth success of the stage show, news of an upcoming Wicked movie adaptation was hardly a surprise when reports surfaced in the early 2010s.
If Wicked Part One 's needle really does turn as far as two hours and 40 minutes, that would indicate a huge amount of additional ideas and fleshed-out storylines. If Wicked Part One's needle really does turn as far as two hours and 40 minutes, however, that would indicate a huge amount of additional ideas and fleshed-out storylines - much more than the average musical-to-movie adaptation. If Wicked Part Two then matches its predecessor for size, the combined big screen version of Wicked would even be close to doubling-up on the Broadway show, giving a stark idea of just how much fresh material to expect.
Elphaba and Glinda first become friends during"Dancing Through Life," before"Popular" seals their status as pals. That problem is exacerbated if both parts of Wicked are also very long. There is a very real risk viewers will sit through almost three hours of school-based musical magic and The Wizard of Oz foreshadowing, hear the iconic"Defying Gravity," then skip the continuation when it arrives a year later. For the more casual theater-goer, two hours and 40 minutes of Wicked and a rendition of the musical's biggest hit could be plenty.
