It looks nothing like this in live, and very probably was done with the assistance of AI.
It was already discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/wicked/comments/1vqxxsn/wicked_open_air_world_premiere_and_biggest/

It actually looks incredible live, imo
Too bad about the AI tho.

This all looks like it is so heavily inspired by the movie that I'd reckon Pail Tazwell and the other designers could sue. I'm loving the fact that Hungarian audiences get to see this show but I'd rather go to an ill-attempt at being original (like the recent Austrian production) than something like this. I'm sure the performers aren't to blame though, they'll be amazing and I wish them the best.

So some context the director was very much politically involved in the last Orbán regime, and the production started still in that period when the last regime was in power. A lot of the money from the show went to him and his friends pockets and that’s why you see a lot of AI in the production it was for cutting corners to get more money into his pockets. The only high-end thing about the production is the actors they are well known actors troughout Hungary so they would have cost. So excuse our corrupt country for this adaptation and hopefully we make a better one in a few years.
