A few thoughts on my second viewing of “Wicked: For Good”:
It’s really cute that people in the crowd for “Thank Goodness” have apparently bought cheap souvenir copies of Glinda’s wand.
“No Place Like Home” still isn’t great, but I’d listen to Cynthia Erivo sing the phone book so I can’t be mad.
A surprising number of the talking animals are Australian species. I guess that’s some kind of “Aus/Oz” pun?
Cynthia Erivo is of course the best actor in the show but Marissa Bode is a breakout star. She wants you to Feel with a capital F, and she really delivers, in a fairly short amount of screen time. I hope she’ll go on to great things but I know she has -isms weighing against her.
That last shot is perfect and beautiful and now I can’t imagine the show ending otherwise.
