As always great analysis, time and the universe do have some crazy coincidences sometimes.

As someone who now works professionally in Theatre after receiving significant training, I have to say it is even more impactful as a Full Stage Production. It was one of the very first shows I ever saw and fell in love; set me down my current path almost 2 decades ago.

No doubt the movie does a great job, but the magic this show is infused with carries a weight (Gravity) that only Live Performance can hoist.

Art is a revolutionary act.

Read more than theory, Read art.

I cant xxxxxxx for now just this will sustain me “It demands that you consider the ramifications of only prioritizing romantic love and a single partner, rather than prioritizing platonic love (aka community building). Wicked shows us what it means to really see a person for who they are, which is simply a summation of all of their experiences up until the point of judgement. It shows us that a fulfilled life is not an end goal, but rather a process. “ like 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 pausing here but omfg onfg onfg ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

I first saw Wicked in NYC when I was 11 years old. At the time, my English was not very good and I was struggling to understand what was going on. However I do remember being captivated by it and considering it my favorite musical to this day.

Even though most themes escaped me at the time, yesterday I saw the movie and it brought me back to my 11-yr-old self, but with all the wisdom that I have acquired with Time.

Imagine the WAY I GASPED when the *surprise* came up on screen…

I cried so much. It resonated with me in this stage in my life, where I am understanding that I don’t have to change myself in order to make others feel comfortable.

I love that I can now see it with a revolutionary perspective. Seldom do I go to see a movie and end up so touched.

I hope folks can dive deeper and get to the root of the story…I hope it doesn’t go over people’s heads. What a masterpiece!
