Watched the Wicked movie yesterday! 💚 Gorgeous visually and great fun.
On splitting into 2 parts - obvs financial not artistic decision with all the expected downsides:
- Less satisfying character arcs (esp Elphaba 😈)
- Extended scenes 🥱 (Oz dust ballroom)
- 2nd half is going to suffer re songs 😒

Comments
- The Elphaba/Glinda conflict is more on their values than on the love triangle which I love
- The finale really is a superlative power fantasy moment (esp for black women). I kind of forgive them for splitting it for that experience. 🎶
