I don’t really have anything else to say there isn’t any chemistry between them in the musical/gilm (aside from the books, I’m pretty sure gkinda performed oral?) I don’t really think elphaba and glinda’s friendship is that strong, they only became friends because Glinda gave a hat she didn’t want to elphaba (only to make fun of her) and Glinda gave nessa’s shoes to Dorothy anyway, my point is their ship doesn’t make any sense to me in the film especially as their friendship doesn’t seem to be built on trust

I had a thought about Idina Menzel, our OG Broadway Elphie.

Recently, I watched Tick Tick Boom on Netflix and of course since then, I’ve been listening to that soundtrack and then of course I HAD to listen to Rent, because, duh.

Anyways, obviously our OG Elphie, Idina Menzel was also the OG Maureen in Rent. While I was listening to “Take Me Or Leave Me,” I thought it is kinda funny that Idina played Maureen - who is much more similar personality wise to Glinda (albeit a bit sluttier, LOL). Joanne is more similar to Elphaba, but a bit more uptight.

It’s just a fun connection my brain made recently.

Thank you for coming to this random brain dump of mine on a random Thursday.

some of the characters had no chemistry, writing kinda sucked at some times, but made up for it with amazing vocals and music

does anyone agree?
