15 minutes of linda monroe being evil and truly iconic

I don't own anything.
If you've seen Team Starkid's latest musical, Black Friday then you'll know our queen Linda Monroe.
She's a deliciously evil villain and honestly one of my favourite starkid characters ever. She's played of course by our lord and saviour Lauren Lopez.
This is my first ever youtube video so please don't judge my shite editing.. I'll get better..
thanks for watching x ✌🏼

So I realize this isn't the point of this video, but I love how Wiggly's "possession" works pretty slowly after the first turning. The first time we meet Linda in her role as prophet (essentially the entire "I Will Be Adored" scene), she still wants 4 dolls, though for her children or not is unclear. It's also implied during his introduction of Linda that Sherman still wants a doll for himself. The next time we see the whole cult together, the focus is more on using the Wiggly doll as a summoner of sorts for god-form Wiggly, and almost all of Linda's personal motivations are gone (though she is still on the phone with Gerald). Just something I noticed and wondered if it was deliberate.
