Wicked fans were left furious over a newly released scene with Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey - weeks before its release.
The scene showed Grande - who plays Glinda The Good Witch - and Fiyero Tigelaar star Bailey performing Dancing Through Life.
The pair are seen passionately belting out their vocals and embracing in the clip - but fans quickly took to X to lambast the 'poor lighting' and likened the film to a 'reality show' rather than a Hollywood blockbuster.
One fan wrote: 'This lighting is horrendous' while a second typed: 'This looks like a reality show, not a musical.'
Others wrote: 'so much light, so little color' and 'This can’t be the Final Cut, there’s just no way.'

'Who is responsible for this lighting?l' and 'Looking for even a hint of color or contrast in this hideous set piece.'
'Like looks like a toxic situationship in the making.'
Others praised the clip saying: 'She looks so happy to be there she’s wanted this role for so long i’m so happy for her.
'beautiful couple and beautiful dance.'
The movie is about an unlikely friendship that emerges between Elphaba and Glinda, two clashing witches in the magical land of Oz.
Elphaba is wrongfully cast as a wicked witch as she seeks to expose the fraudulent, corrupt Wizard who rules the land.
Wicked is the origin story of 'a green-skinned woman who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West.'
It serves as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, exploring the narrative before Dorothy's arrival and delving into the former friendship between the characters Elphaba and Glinda.
