my conclusions after watching Wicked for the third time: 1. Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba is a triumph. no notes. absolute perfection. 2. Ariana Grande was a perfect casting choice for Glinda. she was absolutely made for that role. 3. making Fiyero gayer was the correct choice and i congratulate everyone involved in that decision. 4. i will never not cry during this movie. 5. this musical has never been more politically relevant
