Wicked's ‘Dancing Through Life’ Full Scene Breakdown: Choreography, VFX & More (ft. Jonathan Bailey) :https://youtu.be/SKphlClxia8

‘Wicked’(2024 PART 1 !): Read The Screenplay (ty Deadline!!) :https://deadline.com/2024/12/wicked-movie-scirpt-read-the-screenplay-winnie-holzman-dana-fox-1236203154/ you can DOWNLOAD IT HERE:https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25454766-wicked-read-the-screenplay/ +I’m reading the wicked screenplay and found where this production still came from. They filmed it all so I think the footage might be repurposed in part 2. It’s a montage of several scenes so I think some of might be used for flashbacks. I do wish we got to see the development of their friendship and the five of them hanging out once they’d become a friendship group.:https://yourartmatters-itswhatgotmehere.tumblr.com/post/769853929145204736 (also we know now where the shirtless both Fiyero & Boq scene that Bowen was talking about would have taken place!)

There's something funny (if slightly tragic) to me about the fact that Fiyero's himbo act that he puts on through Dancing Through Life, and that we find out later he secretly hates, is literally what saves him multiple times through the musical.:https://yourartmatters-itswhatgotmehere.tumblr.com/post/770051140160208896 &https://www.tumblr.com/yourartmatters-itswhatgotmehere/770051140160208896?source=share

hey okay but the guy who doesn't care about anything because nothing matters actually comforted his friend immediately and softly and tenderly when she expressed her guilt and I'm not over the cracking urgency of his whisper, hurrying to soothe while trying not to draw attention to her discomfort.

I'm also still not over the genuine excitement on his face when Boq and Nessa showed up to get on the boat to the Ozdust. I'm not over the stupid little smooch on the librarian's forehead, or him cradling a frightened baby in the lapel of his jacket. I'm not over him being the one to establish poppies as symbols of resistance because a spell involving poppies started it all for him. And I'm definitely not over the fear and care in his voice when Galinda fell asleep against him and he cradled her.:https://jbaileyfansite.tumblr.com/post/770138358125035520

.https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/jonathan-bailey-wicked-bridgerton-fiyero-interview (personal fav)"The starting point was “Dancing Through Life.” He creates chaos around him, like he does in that song, because he’s got to match the chaos that’s going on inside. The challenge that I felt was the trope of a cool caddish prince. He’s deeply unnerved by stillness and adhering to rules and structure. That is probably a sign of someone who’s never really experienced love. When you see someone causing that sort of disturbance, it’s usually because they’ve never felt seen. An organizational psychologist, Adam Grant, sent me a message saying, “It’s a masterful portrayal of superficiality masking depth.” Out of all the things I’ve heard, that is the thing I’m going to get printed on a T-shirt." + "I want to keep working until something like Fellow Travelers isn’t seen as niche.

At this point I judge Fiyeros in ANY production by how they deliver "Dancing Through Life". This song is meant to sound cheerful, careless and positive. BUT. The one who sings it is depressed and sees himself as shallow, undeserving and useless. It should sound like the character in question hides it under his party persona, like he's on the edge but still smiling (especially in higher parts). Because that's exactly what Elphaba sees through, (...) :https://yourartmatters-itswhatgotmehere.tumblr.com/post/768415951832088576

Haunted by that shot of Fiyero looking up at the sky and IMMEDIATELY taking off on horseback. Man doesn't know where he is going or where Elphaba is or what the fuck is going on but he knows he needs to find her.

the wicked movie teaches important moral lessons like "be bisexual in college" and "don't trust politicians" and "if you push someone who's in a wheelchair without their permission, someone might throw a bench at your head with their mind"

[darkcrowprincess]

fiyero's point of view of part one is hilarious. He leaves elphaba and glinda to themselves for one day and now Elphie is wanted by the government and glinda is technically a prisoner/is kissing up to the wizard and super sad about Elphie. The throuple is in danger and now he's left to hold the braincell.

[hamletthedane]

The movie Wicked is proof that any source material can be vastly improved by simply making the intense female friendship much gayer + the mutual male love interest both wildly bisexual and lowkey down to just be their third

he was very real for that though, i remember being like 14 and seeing Maleficent Live Action for the first time and i was SO SURE her and Diaval are lovers hahahahah

So, Gregory Maguire really watched The Wizard of Oz and went, “you know what? I bet the witch and the scarecrow are fucking!”

[ivebeendressingforrevenge]

[ladyantiheroine]

I’m thinking about Wicked tonight, specifically why Elphaba ends up with Fiyero instead of Glinda in the musical despite Elphaba and Glinda having the more well-rounded relationship.

You could chalk it up to the writers wanting a heteronormative ending (and I’m certain that’s part of it) or the fact that Elphaba and Fiyero had a love affair in the book. But I think there’s a bit more nuance to it.

The whole point of Glinda’s character is that she upholds the status quo of Oz. No matter how much she loves Elphaba or sympathizes with the plight of the Animals, she will always align herself with the current system and those in power. And as long as that remains the case, a relationship between her and Elphaba is futile because Elphaba will not give up her cause.

Elphaba and Glinda represent to different ends of a spectrum. Elphaba resists the oppressive forces in Oz, while Glinda upholds them. But Fiyero is somewhere in the middle. He starts out privileged and carefree like Glinda, but quickly turns to Elphaba’s side. He does become Captain of the Guard, but only to find Elphaba and help her evade arrest.

And therein lies the difference between Glinda and Fiyero as love interests to Elphaba. Glinda would never sacrifice her title as “the Good Witch” and all her power granted from the Wizard, even if it meant helping Elphaba. Fiyero, on the other hand, does give up his privilege, his title, and even his human form for Elphaba. Glinda clings to what the status quo gives her, while Fiyero ultimately rejects it.

Yes, the writing around Elphaba and Fiyero’s romance is a bit rushed and doesn’t have the same gradual development that Elphaba and Glinda have. And yes, I have no doubt heteronormativity played a role in giving Elphaba a male love interest in the end. But I see a lot of people write off Fiyero and his relationship with Elphaba and I just don’t agree.

Why does Elphaba end up with Fiyero instead of Glinda? Because Fiyero makes the sacrifices that Glinda wasn’t willing to.
