Holding Space for Wicked ( Part 1 )
The first time i saw Wicked was on musical, around 2006-2007 when i first moved to the US
I can't recall the first two days I saw it, but when was with my girlfriend, who adored it, and again was with my cousin, who was visiting New York City ( and I bought the Grimmerie photobook, which they sell for absurd amounts ) in the 2018-2019 range. We might even have seen an adaptation of it in Singapore, which Australian actors played with accents that really made me want to sing along to some of their songs ( different words pronounced in the songs ).

I've likewise, of sure, had it played backwards to me daily via Glee, Rachel Zegler, and TikTok birthday, and I've furthermore read the book, and been upset that Wicked lost the 2024 Tony Awards, but most notably, you may observe Stephen Schwartz's Tiny Desk:
Naturally, the movie was coming out in 2024, so it had another viewing as well.
I saw it opening night 2 weeks with my sis again, and have just done the second viewing when my friend Barr booked out a whole theater for her friends ( surprisingly cheap- only$ 300 to do this for a couple dozen people! ). I decided to spend an hour or so reflecting on it. he goes to.

The Wizard of Oz story is a story that we all assume we are familiar with, and Wicked adds layers of complexity and depth to it. It's the kind of storytelling that stays with you. The revisionist prequel examines the narrative, reexamines it, and reexamines whether the alleged" Wicked Witch" is actually evil or misunderstood. This brilliant tactic of reinterpreting the antagonist resonates deeply with me.
