Theyre so gay i love it

[@boobies9391]

Jim Von Schmittou Yeah no that’s wrong. They’re so gay that Finland changed the ending so they would be a couple.

[@copycatbrain6336]

I have to agree with them on this one

[@redrasegarden]

Nope, there heterosexual. They just have a deep sisterhood.

[@JimVonSchmittou]

raphaela ratzlaff thank you

[@redrasegarden]

Jim Von Schmittou ur welcome ☺️

[@shutupchey]

The amount of blush that appears on their cheeks when G grabs Elphie’s hands just kills me

[@connerrawe679]

They're embracing their inner barcode.

[@FMNNCiaramello]

did anyone else think that elphie’s blush looked like a heart

There would be an au where they get married and leer and dorthy have a baby and the last scene is elphaba and galinda sitting on a porch looking at baby Nicholas. (BTW Nicholas is what I thought would be a good name for the baby)

[@hypocry2745]

I love how you didn’t make them both look like carbon copies. Like how you have elphie a strong jaw and long straight nose and Glinda a soft jaw and soft button nose and round face. Things like that really define characters and Idk I just noticed that right away and also your art is actually stunning!!

[@Pands1031]

I honestly love the symbolism at 3:29 so much. Elphie is willing and is going to defy gravity, she’s doing what she wants to and no one can tell her otherwise. Meanwhile Glinda is happy with her life and doesn’t want to do what she thinks is impossible. I love it soooo much!!

[@tutterbear98]

Oh myyy god honestly I haven't watched/listened to all of Wicked, but I know this song, and there's something to seeing the absolute magic of the final chorus in this way. Idk, I think it may be because of the little tricks she does with the broom and how she just soars with the most confidence, but I really ended up feeling this song in a way that I know she herself is feeling it: absolute freedom.

[@isabelerhart9523]

Bubbles i have heard all songs many time and memorised a lot of them

[@ashleygeorge.]

This happens to me. I recently had my AP exam and this song made me feel confident

[@brookeboren1695]

I stopped listening to Wicked when I got into Hamilton and I forgot how amazing this song was

[@lakeshiawynn8041]

I love Hamilton and this

[@isabelerhart9523]

İ listen to both

[@evahicks5733]

Fun fact: right after this was intermission, so most people just sat there bug eyed through the entire intermission because it was so incredible

[@bunnyxbobax577]

That was me

[@MJAYZ007]

That was me at 14 when my mom took me to see this musical. I remember the magical moment I saw her fly in the air on stage and 14 year old me just sat there amazed. I was just in awe at everything I saw. The way she smiled, the way she went above the stage on the broom. I felt the magic. I felt all of these emotions, and I just about cried. The movie will never be able to recreate the magic.

[@eternalmiasma5586]

I only recently got into musicals in general, I use to only like Hamilton and Heathers, this has gotta be a new fav of mine. Honestly I’d love to see wicked as a movie, imagine this scene on the big screen! So freaking great

[@dewdropexe7397]

when I read this comment I thought of elsa like in frozen in her song let it go she's finally free and also let's her hair down

[@thequeenofnight7429]

Sometimes I think that Elphiba, is that how you spell it?, was a lesbian for Glinda but was terrified of how she would react and this was her way of explaining her feelings to her by rejecting the life she could have had with the wizard. And they both unknowingly said I love you to other when they had their little duet part about running away together.

[@fantasy873]

YES! Finally, an animatic with broom-surfing! I've was thinking how cool it would be if she broom-surfed!

[@EnvisFlames]

(Spoiler?) I love how ironic it is they both say "I hope you're happy" when Elfie's ending is waaaay better than Glinda's. Or maybe that's just the way I interpreted it. lol

I hope you're happy I hope you're happy now I hope you're happy how you've Hurt your cause forever I hope you think you're clever I hope you're happy I hope you're happy too I hope you're proud how you would Grovel in submission To feed your own ambition So though I can't imagine how I hope you're happy Right now Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry! You can still be with the Wizard What you've worked and waited for You can have all you ever wanted I know But I don't want it No! I can't want it anymore Something has changed within me Something is not the same I'm through with playing by The rules of someone else's game Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep It's time to trust my instincts Close my eyes And leap It's time to try defying gravity I think I'll try defying gravity And you can't pull me down Can't I make you understand You're having delusions of grandeur? I'm through accepting limits 'Cause someone says they're so Some things I cannot change But till I try I'll never know Too long I've been afraid of Losing love, I guess I've lost Well if that's love It comes at much too high a cost I'd sooner buy defying gravity Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity And you can't pull me down! Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do together! Unlimited Together we're unlimited Together we'll be the greatest team There's ever been, Glinda! Dreams the way we planned 'em If we work in tandem There's no fight we cannot win Just you and I, defying gravity With you and I defying gravity They'll never bring us down! Well, are you coming? I hope you're happy Now that your choosing this You too I hope it brings you bliss I really hope you get it And you don't live to regret it I hope you're happy in the end I hope you're happy my friend So if you care to find me Look to the Western sky! As someone told me lately Everyone deserves the chance to fly And if I'm flying solo At least I'm flying free To those who ground me Take a message back from me! Tell them how I am defying gravity I'm flying high, defying gravity And soon I'll match them in renown And nobody in all of Oz No wizard that there is or was Is ever gonna bring me down! I hope you're happy Look at her She's wicked Get her! Bring me down! No one mourns the wicked So we got to bring her Ah! Down!

At the end of the song when Elphaba starts rising on her broom all of the other characters get the light taken off of them and it's all on Elphy. And when she hits that high note at the very end all of the spotlights on her. Then she cuts off and all the lights turn off. When that happened in the theater I started crying it was so beautiful.
