#also nessarose sucks

[cheerfullycatholic]

I have a feeling that this love song between Elphaba and Fiyero is going to be the last happy part of this musical

I can't watch the Wicked musical anywhere unless I want to spend a hundred bucks minimum to see it live 🙃🙃🙃🙃

[mediacinemtographyartetc]

Love wicked, but-

I do wonder why they cut the lines from Boq from the Broadway part-

Like at the train scene when they're wishing Elphaba luck and they're all talking, and Glinda says "Something, something, right Biq?" "It's BOQ!"

and he leaves in a huff? And then Nessarose also rolls away in a huff, and when Elphie see's how Glinda is losing her shit over changing her name and (this still makes me laugh) takes Glinda with her to see the wizard...instead of her sister- wow. Anyway the whole "it's BOQ!" part in the play is a parralel to Glinda giving Dilamond problems with the pronouciation of HER name. She puts so much importance on it and even CHANGES her name showing she's thinking about it but can't quite give people the same common courtesy.

Not only that but getting his name wrong when at this stage they're all close hanging out- they're not strangers she should get his name right!

Like imagine being invisible, Mr cellophane over here.

And yet you can't force peoples feelings and thats the side plot to Wicked that I thought was interesting. Glinda doesn't owe Boq anything. However Boq doesn't owe Nessarose anything.

You can't FORCE love.

Its also a PARRALEL!

That how Fieryo gets engaged to make Glinda happy, but she doesn't own his heart. Same as how Boq is forced (BY LAW so he doesn't even have a CHOICE) is forced to be with Nessarose and this miscommunication whereas Nessarose is maniplating and taking away Munchkin rights is trying to cage Boq alongside her and keep him close.

But he just thinks she needs disability support. It does create the (Eh its albliest depending) on her being able to walk. The reason I personally don't believe this is abliest is that helping Nessarose so she can walk again DOES NOT FIX ANYTHING.

Because the Wheelchair wasn't the problem.

In movies when they 'cure' a disability' the characters life is fixed, they get the happily ever after but in the case of Nessarose fixing her disability did NOTHING.

Boq still didn't love her, at this point any feelings he had jas turned into resentment he see's her as a cruel person whose just a dictator.

Wheel chair or no, Nessa sucks.

However Boq LIKE Glinda is very callous of their feelings unlike Glinda who gets Fieryo, Boq only used Nessa as a rebound when he saw the two kissing and instead was leading Nessarose on when he never really liked her that way. He could've walked away at any time but 'didn't but when Glinda was about to be engaged THEN he decided to act. He was a coward and used Nessa until he finally decided to do something which was cruel and wicked in itself.

So the whole, Boq is callous and wicked himself moments and something as simple as a line such as.

"IT's BOQ!" it dominoed reactions. This highlighted that Boq wants to be seen by Glinda, it shows to Nessarose that Boq was bothered more by Glinda and that she herself is aware that Boq loves Glinda.

It's why when he says "I lost my heart to Glinda, Nessa you know that."

However in the movie that line was CUT.

Instead he's cheering Glinda on for her name change, then shakes Nessarose fathers hand.

The movie made changes, (for the better and fleshed out stories) And I do wonder if in the second part with this line change, if that means the Wicked Witch of the East is going to play differently because of it.

These are my musical hot takes

This is gonna be for more than one musical so buckle up 

-First of all Bandstand deserved way more Tony's. It only got best choreography (which it deserved) but it should have won so much more. We were robbed of a best leading actor for Corey and best supporting actor for Beth. They did absolutely incredible 

-Bandstand in general just deserves way better, no one talks about it and it is one of my favorite shows of all time. Seriously, if you’re reading this LISTEN TO BANDSTAND

-Maria and Tony’s love story is absolute trash. I don’t care if you think it’s iconic, it’s not. It’s lazy, convoluted bullshit and easily the weakest part of west side story

-From here to eternity is actually a really good musical and deserves more recognition. It also has AMAZING choreography 

-Yes, the lighting thief isn’t revolutionary or the pinnacle of theatre, but it’s fun, I love it and it didn’t deserve to be snubbed at the Tony’s

-BE MORE CHILL IS ACTUALLY GOOD! Yes, it’s not the best broadway show ever, but it is actually strong and well written

-Melchior Gabor is absolute trash but he definetly had a thing for Moritz and I don’t care what anyone says

-Why the fuck did Peggy get with the director in 42nd Street? I thought she was gonna get with Billy! It was so forced and so annoying. (also Annie is a lesbian, you can’t change my mind)

-Charlie and the chocolate factory the musical SUCKS! They want to be this crazy show where they literally murder the kids and Wonka is a unhinged serial killer, but they also want it to be sincere and for you to think Charlie is a good person when he just saw kids die and is okay with it!!!

-Veruca’s death scene is amazing though, I love that they do a rose adagio parody, it’s so smart

-The best of the a chorus line montages is gimme the ball, I don’t care what anyone says

-Mean girls is bad and has so many stupid fucking lyrics which I hate

-A Bronx Tale deserved better, the music is so catchy

-We deserve a bare movie

-The jatherine storyline makes my blood boil because it’s so unnessecery, boring and takes away from the show

-The so called ‘disabled character’ in wicked, Nessarose is awful representation. It makes me so mad
