Removing these numbers can effectively ruin the story.Īlthough the length of a musical is comparable to that of a film at about two to three hours long, adapting stage productions tend to increase the length of the story due to the nature of the medium. Musicals quite often have their main characters express their wants and desires as well as their regrets through songs.
Songs in musicals tend to contain important plot elements and character moments. Removing certain story elements, especially songs, can have a detrimental impact to Wicked's overarching narrative as well as the emotional journey of the characters. To protect the integrity of Wicked's characters, Chu, along with the original writers Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, have found it imperative to keep as much of the story intact as possible. The director explains that as they entered production with a desire to trim down scenes and cut musical numbers, he found it impossible as certain characters would be compromised. The first movie will release on December 25, 2024, with the second one following on December 25, 2025. According to Chu, the decision to split the film led into the decision to delay its release. Per Variety, the upcoming musical adaptation Wicked has been split into two parts.
