This Stunning Dress Worn By Cynthia Erivo Brought To Mind Carrie’s Dress In The Last Ever Episode of Sex And The City When She Went To Paris And Wore A Fabulous Dress That Was Top Secret At The Time. In Paris She Dumped Her Russian Lover (After He Hit Her) And (Eventually, Finally, Thankfully) Got Back With Mr Big (Which Is What The Fans Really Wanted). Ce La Vive!
Jon M. Chu’s Decison To Make A Wizard of Oz Prequel Was Annonced Back In 2021 (As Highlighted On His Instagram). Given The History And Iconic Status of The Wizard of Oz He Knew He Had To Go Large Right From The Start. This Tech Promo By A Certain Apple Executive (Who You May Have Heard of) Highlights How He Used Modern Apple Technology For Filmmaking To Help Him Get It Done. Click For The Magic

The New York Times Nov 2024: Cynthia Says She Knew Her And Ariana Were Going To Be Close From The First Time Ariana Visited Her Home. For Over Five Hours They Sat On The Floor Chilling, Chatting And Eating Olives, Popcorn, And Strawberries.
Cynthia & Ariana
Elphaba & Glinda Were Initially Worlds Apart? Are They Eventually United? Together Forever? Or Soon Seperated? @wickedmovie

The Newbie & The Original (From The Stage Musical) On The Set of Wicked The Movie.
Cynthia Told Idina That She’ll Never Forget Her Putting Her Hat On When She Visited The Set And That In Effect It Felt Like She Was Giving Her Approval And Passing The Baton.
@arianagrande
Adventure Ensues In Wicked As Things Twist & Turn & Are Not What They Seem. Or Are They…?
The Tall Pointy Black Hat. Is It A Glinda Gift or An Act of Wickedness?
@cynthiaerivo
Elphaba Is Ostracised At School For Being Green.
She Also Suffers At Home Because She Is Her Father’s Least Favourite Child. Her Sister Is His Favourite. She’s Called Nessarose And Despite Their Father She’s Close To Her Sister. Nessarose Is Played By Marrissa Bode @marrissabode
And At The Magic School Within The University of Shiz Which She Attends She Is Demonized By The Wicked Wizard. He Condemned As A Witch Because He Is Envious As He Feels Threatened By Her Exceptional Skills, Talent And Potential Supreme Powers. For Good!
So He Falsely Condemns Her For Being Exactly What He Is. A Wicked Witch. As A Male Witch He’s A Wicked Wizard. And He Knows It. He Just Has To Convince Others In The Dominion That He Isn’t.

The Goat Guy Is Suddenly Gone From The ‘Shiz’ University (The Corrupted Educational Establishment, Specialist In The Power of Magic And Lotions And Potions And Spells). Professor Dr. Dillamore Voiced By Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) Is Brutally Manhandled Out And Taken Away By Paid Instruments of The State Dressed Up In Union.
“The Animals Are Being Blamed For Everything” He Previously Protested. And He Warned That The People Were Not Being Told Everything.
The Two Main Wicked Actresses Are Incredibly Close And Protective of Each Other. They Have An Acting And Singing Partnership Unlike Any Other. Theirs Is A Bold New Groundbreaking Ilke of Filmmaking, Collaboration And Transparency.
Wicked Has Surpassed Mama Mia As The Most Successful Box Office Hit Musical Theatre To Film Adaptation Ever.
It Is Now A Multi-Award Winning Film And Already There Is Great Anticipation For The Second Film Due For Release Later This Year.
Nominated For 10 Oscars. It Won Just Two. Best Costume Design For Paul Tazewell (The First Black Man To Win The Accolade) And Best Production. But Also Won Many Others .

The New York Times Nov 2024: Never Before Have Two Actresses Ever Been So Connected, Protective And Tactile When Working On A Film Together.
Glinda & Elphaba
From Fren-emies To Besties In The Prequel To The Classic Wizard of Oz Film:
Wicked Pt 1 (In Theatres From November 22nd 2024); Wicked Pt 2 (In Theatres From November 2025)
Judy Garland Starred In The Original Wizard of OZ Movie Released 1939/1940 At The Onset of WWII. She’d Previously Appeared In Black Face As A Child Star. Now A Gay Icon. Black Face Documentary @davidharewood
Erivo, As A Black British Actress of Supreme Talent Is Now Playing The Lead In This Groundbreaking Prequel Film. We’ve Come A Long Way.
But The MAGA Re-Trumplican Administration Wants To Drag Society All The Way Back Again To The Dark Days of Ouvert Racial Hatred, Stereotyping And Discrimination.
Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey Is Prince Fiyero, The Man At The Centre of The Witches’ Love Rivalry. He Has A Beautiful Black Horse. But Animals Throughout The Land Are Being Scapegoated, Hunted Down, Brutalised, Disappeared, Caged And Defamed,
It Seems Quite Symbolic Because Often When A Group Is Under Attack There Always Some People Within That Targeted Group Who Are Highlighted As Exceptions. However They Are Also Often Exploited As Tokens To Help Perpetuate A False Perception Or Narrative That Things Aren’t As Bad As They Really Are.
Consider ‘Blacks For Trump’ For Instance Who Are Always Pushed Up Front In Front of The Cameras At Trump Rallies. The Black MAGA Sentators & Black Re-Trumplicans Such As Tim Scott And Byron Donalds. Where Are These Black Turkey Re-Trumplicans Now? And Where Are The Gay Right-Wingers And Re-Trumplicans In The New America Administration?
They’re Non-Existent. They’re Being Whitewashed Out of American History (The MAGA Re-Trumplican Version of American History). That’s Where They Are Now.
The Anti-DEI Purges Include Them! They Voted For Christmas And That’s Their Present. True Trump Turkeys!
They Are Now In No Man’s Land As They Were Just Used By MAGA Re-Trumplicans Who Never Really Wanted Anything To Do With Them Apart From Feigning Interest In Order To Secure Their Vote. And They Are Not Welcome Back By The Communities They Are Perceived To Have Betrayed Now The Trumpian True Colours of MAGA Have Come To Light. Many Now Sheepishly Suffer From Buyers Remorse But Sympathy For Them Is Low of Course.
But Prince Fiyero Is A Genuine Good Guy And Joins The Resistence As The People Decide To Fight Back Against The Tyranny And Come To The Animal’s Assistance As A Matter of Morality, Principle, Integrity And Common Decency.
