Lady Celestina, Princesa de Pastel

Please remember this date:

Wicked was published in 1995.

Think about the world at that time.

And now, the trailer for "Wicked: For Good": youtu.be/f-cpHU0LSbQ?...

Defying Gravity with Idina Menzel was so. fucking. incredible.

Never knew a voice could project that much power, that much feeling, and that solidly just made me love this musical so much. I was a SOBBING MESS. #hatm

In the book it takes quite a while longer, really. Musical isn't quite this fast. IMO. #hatm

Also, most of this with Galinda isn't a thing. #hatm

The movie goes into making Elphie the villain a lot faster than the musical or the book.

Not a fan of how this part happens. #hatm

In the Wizard of Oz, the wizard's balloon comes from the Omaha State Fair... which doesn't make sense for, y'know, Kansas.

But it totally connects with the 1892 Omaha Platform which was adopted by the Populist Party and is a precursor to lots of progressive reforms. #HATM

THE CAMEO IS

SO

GOOD

#hatm

This whole scene with Boq, Nessarose, Fiyero etc is all kind of an amalgamation from the book but not really in the musical as it were strictly. #hatm

uh, do a search for "Nessarose Thropp Song Act 2". Anything I say is totally spoilery due to the name. I can DM you if you'd rather. #hatm

iirc it's because of his upbringing. I haven't reread the book in a while. #hatm

No, the song they're referring to is not sung by Elphie and is in Act 2. I'm Not That Girl is in every version. #hatm

GOD I HOPE IT'S IN THE MOVIE. #hatm

I'm Not That Girl is the real solo song in the musical by Elphie.

I said what I said.

#hatm

"I don't cause commotions, I am one." has been a theme for like my entire bloody life. #hatm

omg, she works there????

This happens in the book, too. Fiyero and Elphie abscond with the Cub. #hatm

(In the book, talking/sentient Animals are capitalized.)

Doctor Dillamond likes to eat poppies. #hatm

I think i've seen 5-6 different ones? #hatm

Every single Galinda does this song as her own and I love it, including Ariana. #hatm

oh no. #hatm

"now that we're friends" #hatm

The books are great. I have all of them (signed...) #hatm

Remember, Elphaba is from Munchkinland, but is not a Munchkinlander. #hatm

I am just enjoying this scene entirely. I always felt that the musical didn't have nearly as much in it for this than it should. #hatm

The hat thing is in the musical. #hatm

dear closed captionists, it's "Biq" in the book, not "Bick". #hatm

I think he was also voicing lines in FFXIV Dawntrail or Endwalker. #hatm

Suspension of disbelief, Fiyero is supposed to be the same age ((younger??)) than Galinda.

This also isn't in the musical #hatm

and Graha Tia has entered the chat. #hatm
