I fear the “whistling’s ok if it’s pearl and rusty” line has changed me on a molecular level.

I actually love them so much they’re the perfect variants of each other even down to the colors

OMG, I just saw Wicked a few hours ago! A big thing I love about it is that it’s being split into two parts. It does wonders for the pacing, and ‘Defying Gravity’ makes such a good finale!

I also enjoyed the little detail in the play slapped into the middle of’One Short Day’. At first I was annoyed and thought it was pointless padding/ exposition, but then I realized- the two leading ladies in the play are Elphaba and Glinda’s broadway actors! That made me giddy.

I even got a Glinda popcorn bucket and an Elphaba drinking cup. What am I meant to do with those? 🤣

i was quite honestly in absolute SHOCK when the movie finished. it was quite possibly one of the best movies i've ever seen, and hands DOWN the best musical to movie adaptation. when the movie was over, it felt like i had just watched act 1 of wicked on a broadway stage. i was shaking, that's how good cynthia's "defying gravity" was and how good the movie as a whole was.

i was honestly a little disappointed when they first announced that it would be two parts, because i hate when that happens, but after watching part one, it just makes so SO much sense. if it was just one part, we would be missing so much, there would probably be cut songs, we wouldn't get as much development as the characters deserve!

and i've seen the show on broadway a few times, and when i tell you literally every moment from the broadway musical was in part one???? they literally left NOTHING out of it, which is so insane. i know it's kind of cliche to say, but you can so completely tell how much love and respect everyone who was part of this project has for the stage show. even in bts videos, there's no sense of "our version is the best version" it's all just "we're honoring the legacy of this iconic show" and their love for the stage show just is palpable in every single scene.

AND OH MY GOD "ONE SHORT DAY"

surprisingly i made it through the glelphie dance scene and "i'm not that girl" without crying, but with "one short day" i was on the lookout for kristin chenoweth, because i remember people saying that she had a cameo, so i was ready to just see her briefly, maybe as one of the salon ladies or something like that!

but oh, when kristin and idina came out during the play scene? i absolutely lost it crying. it was such a beautiful way to show tribute to the two women who began the legacy that is elphaba and glinda, and it was done in a way that honored them while still shining a light on ariana and cythia as the newest additions to the wicked legacy. they were absolutely hilarious (when kristin's wand didn't work, i was cackling), i loved that idina did the "defying gravity" riff (which, ofc she did bc she's iconic), and their little moments with ariana and cynthia just made me sob (the hat tilt 😭😭😭 the iconic hat tilt that glinda does in "for good" 😭😭😭)

and i also got an Elphaba popcorn bucket!!! i don't usually get the movie-specific buckets (the last one i think i got was a cats 2019 popcorn bucket, which ironically was the last movie musical i genuinely enjoyed), but i just had to get an Elphaba one!!!
