The film adaptation of Wicked: Part I is longer than the entire stage musical, allowing for deeper character development while retaining the essence of the original story.
Despite being just Part I of a two-part adaptation, Wicked runs at 2 hours and 40 minutes, about 10 minutes longer than the original Broadway musical.
The film ends at the pivotal point of the original musical's Act 1 finale, 'Defying Gravity,' marking a significant moment for Elphaba's character.
The movie enhances the narrative experience by focusing on its primary characters, rather than introducing many side plots, which strengthens the relationships in the story.
