Wicked Movie Is Jam-Packed With Easter Eggs – Here Are 35 You Might Have Missed

The line “don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain,” from the 1939 movie, is cleverly referenced when the Wizard hides behind a hanging sheet. 

32) There’s a brick road, and… guess what colour they choose to make it

The Wizard has to pick what colour to make his new brick road in the film, and well… there was no real option aside from yellow. 

33) To be continued…

The 1939 Wizard Of Oz bursts into Technicolour in the second act, a huge technological feat the time.

The musical also breaks after “Defying Gravity”, which is when the 2024 movie ends.

At that point, a “to be continued…” title comes up in the same font as the 1939 movie and in bright colours. 

34) Oh, did someone say cameos?

Actor Alice Fearn, who played Elphaba in the Broadway Wicked musical throughout the 2010s, plays Glinda’s mother.

35) Poppies 

The flowers which featured heavily in the 1939 Wizard Of Oz film also appear in the Wicked movie.
