Do you guys think when Fiyero told Elphaba he ate grass as a child, he was saying that to make light out of the awkward situation they were in or did he actually eat grass because honestly I can believe both.
I think the real tragedy of Wicked is that no matter how many times you see it or listen to it or whatever you believe that this time something will be different, this time Elphaba will stay or Glinda will go or Elphaba comes back but it stays the same. The alternate paths are just barely out of reach and that’s the real gut punch
I'm sorry but I cannot get over the deleted scene where Glinda asks Elphie about Fiyero and the lion cub, and Elphie clearly thinks she's jealous and reassures her. But no, Glinda isn't worried about that at all; she's upset that Elphie chose him over her. And then Elphie's slow look of realisation as this clicks. In my mind this is when she realises that Glinda is in love with her.
My heart cannot handle "You could've picked me" (!!!!!) and how "I'm not that girl" plays for a few seconds in the background, a song about the one you love not loving you back. I'm a mess

Ah Yes. Me. My wife. And Her 500 foot firebreathing dragon
this is really stupid but ever since reading the yangchen duology im just imagining the “lover of the avatar afterlife” and its all just girls and then there’s kavik in the corner and they’re looking at him like WHO THE FUCK BROUGHT A BOY HERE?? 😭😭
saw wicked live again the other day and while i’ve seen it many times as slime tutorials, cameras cannot capture the poetry that is the finale like it is in person.
fiyero holding out his hand for elphaba and having to actually say “come”. she goes to reach for it, but she pulls back at the last second once glinda starts singing. her literally WALKING AWAY from fiyero to match where glinda is but just on the ground is so emotional.
meanwhile she turns back for a second and fiyero is still holding out his hand for her to take but she stays where she is to sing the reprise of for good with glinda. and omg the ozians singing “no one mourns the wicked…” in between their lines AHH
then elphaba joins fiyero while no one mourns the wicked starts up for real. glinda has to snap into social figure mode, wipe her tears, and start from the beginning. tell elphaba’s story to move on with her life, as elphaba leaves part of her life behind.
Tim couldn't make it he was in Paris also not in the group chat
