@you-terrible-mean-thing
looking for two bootlegs at the moment, please let me know if you have one of these you are open to trading/selling:
beetlejuice (ideally obc but anything that's decent quality really)
next to normal - SPECIFICALLY LA production with isa briones as natalie
Reading Son of a Witch and someone said that Glinda is so misguided to the point that she’s been establishing libraries almost whenever she goes like-
The same Glinda that called a library the book place???
Mind u this is months (then years) after Elphaba’s death but girlie is still so down bad for her😭
wait but no
because glinda in the book is an intelligent, thoughtful person. not to say that she isn't in the musical but there is a clear difference between book!glinda and musical!glinda
book!glinda studied architecture. musical!glinda wanted to study sorcery. book!glinda changed her name in true honor of dillamond's death and ama clutch's sudden illness because she *didn't want to be* galinda anymore. musical!glinda changed her name to impress fiyero. musical!glinda first wields her name and title like they define her and like they forged her path for her. book!glinda was the first person from frottica (her town/province) to attend university iirc, and she did it through sheer will.
in the musical, glinda is sympathetic and emotionally intelligent but not very book-smart; she wouldn't hurt a fly. in the book, glinda is deep and complex and borderline manipulative with how she interacts with people.
i do like the implications and the vibes but book!glinda and musical!glinda are very different characters. if musical!glinda were to establish libraries it would be out of sadness for elphaba. for book!glinda to do it, it's a *statement*
hi i'm alive
came out of the dirt to ask how tf wicked part one is 2 hours 40 minutes???? for part one??
i am equal parts excited and scared
There is no position that I am more diametrically opposed to (that like objectively does not matter) than "stop making mediocre musicals movies" which I'm seeing a lot of in the wake of the wicked casting. I have some thoughts about this, and then I just start ranting, let's go:
No musical movie is ever going to be the same as the show. They are fundamentally different art forms that communicate their stories in very different ways. Even movies that are objectively not good™ have moments that elevate them that you simple don't get onstage. Things like close ups and montages are film devices that can change a musical text for better or worse, but either way you're getting something new. The changes made to one don't influence the other in nearly every case.
Movies are able to reach way more people than anything else. You say you want accessible theatre, you say you want your favorite show to tour or stay on Broadway longer? Well it's not going to if there isn't interest. You get a lot more community theatre productions after a film is made, please, go see them. In the the wake of the very bad into the woods movie, my local theatre put on into the woods and it was great, they had an elaborate cow puppet and everything
How many people got into Phantom, Sweeney Todd, Les Mis etc after the movies were made? All of which are.... Oscar Nominated. Not winners. They're all not very good. So many more people are going to see Wicked (202?) Than have ever seen it or in some cases heard of it. We get into a bubble of what is popular hear on tumblrdotcom but than we all saw how shocked people were on twitter after learning what Dear Evan Hansen was About.
The wicked casting really shows of the damned if you do damned if you don't nature of musical casting. People in the tags are asking for unknowns- well that's what they did for in the heights and nobody saw it. The key is, the are not trying to please you wicked lover, they want someone who has never seen wicked to buy a ticket because they really liked thank you next and they watched victorious when they were little. That being said, Cynthia Erivo only had 21 credits on imdb, 5 of which haven't even come out yet, 2 of them are podcasts and ONE OF THEM IS AN EPISODE OF THE BOSS BABY SHOW so while I'm not saying she's unknown, it is safe to say she is not a household name in anyway. Alexia Khadime is the only black woman to ever play Elphaba full time, Erivo's casting is huge deal and in many ways Ariana taking Glinda allows for this to occur
Proshots are good and I want them all very much. But you're living in a dream world of you think the general populace cares. Hamilton was an anomaly, and even then people were clowning on the staging and the theatre acting and the spit and it does not bring wide appeal! You think the Sweeney Todd pro shot brought anywhere near the number of people to be fans of the show as the 2007 movie?? No! And that proshot is excellent, but it is not what most people want! And there's no way we would have gotten the Royal Albert Hall Phantom without the 2004 movie.
More than one version and vision of a show can exist!!!! Let this be!
Honestly, I can't help but agree. I've not said anything regarding the wicked movie because I'm very conflicted, but I don't think in essence that it is a bad thing.
We have had some epic failures when it comes to musical movies. I'm not gonna say the name, but they lost a shitton of money on a recent one because it was an abomination only enjoyable to those who were too fucking stoned to make sense of anything anyway and furries.
If you asked me three months ago, I wouldn't want ariana within a 20 mile radius of the wicked movie. However, now that she's been cast, I... don't think it's the worst thing in the world. I don't like her, no, but op makes a very valid point regarding her casting
And besides, isn't one of the core messages of wicked one of acceptance? I don't care for her or her music, but hell I was one of those kids watching victorious every day, and I think, yeah, she could do well in the role of glinda while also helping actually bring attention to the movie.
That being said, I am extremely excited for Cynthia. While I haven't seen her in anything myself, I've looked up recordings of her voice and goddamn. There are absolutely no words.
Just a closing thought, one last interjection... Wicked: the Musical is not original. It is a musical based off of a book spun off of a movie based off of a musical based off of a book. The movie won't be the exact same thing as the musical, but who's to say that means it'll be bad?
Glinda: [watching the news] Wow, some idiot tried to fight a squid at the aquarium
Elphaba: [covered in ink] Well maybe the squid was being a dick
Hey Wicked community,
Does anyone know if Alison Luff and Katie Rose Clarke ever performed together?
And if so, does there exist a bootleg? 👀
Hi, I was wondering if you had a copy if Waitress with Alison Luff? Thank you (:
I do, I don't like posting links publicly though. Message me and I'd be happy to give you the link :)
My disability studies class legit just had a discussion about Nessa
Why does my cat purr so loud
I'm disowning him smh
Okay so I might've found a bootleg of the closing night of the Prom, the exact one that was taken off yt.
No guarantee I'll be able to extract the file from the weird-ass site it's on but I'm gonna try. No worries y'all, I've got extensive virus/malware protection so I won't be downloading anything harmful 😊
Currently, I've made some progress and it looks like it'll work. I'm using a screen recording software in order to protect my computer best
My biggest concern, honestly, is my cat meowing in the middle of the recording >.>
But even with that, I can do some editing
Within a couple hours, I should have another update. Once I get a good file of this bootleg, I'd be more than happy to trade/gift it
SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THE BELL ON MY CAT'S COLLAR
Time to start over lmao

So I'm a whole idiot and I fell in love with the Prom but then forgot to grab the file from youtube........and then it got taken off youtube........
So. Hmu if you've got a bootleg, especially if it's the one from closing night. I've got 536899+ Wicked bootlegs to trade as well as a plethora of other musicals to trade
Today I offer you Lurlinemass Modern AU gelphie. Happy holidays everyone! 🎄☃️❄️
It's far too early to guarantee I'll have it done in time but... What the heck, I'm too excited and I gotta share it with y'all
I am currently working on getting a Waitress bootleg subtitled in time for me to give it out around Christmas time
Currently looking to trade for The Prom broadway bootleg... My sister's throwing a fit because I only have prebroadway lmao
