I don’t know anything about Wicked Part 2/Act 2 except that’s when my middle school graduation song For Good happens, but I like your predictions! Also, is that why Bay Ridge has a street named Ragamuffin Way? Because people still do that there?

Yep! I found this article about the day they added the honorific to that street in Bay Ridge: https://brooklynreporter.com/2016/09/photos-ridge-corner-co-named-ragamuffin-way/

I did NOT expect a Wicked review from you, so what a treat this was!!! It goes without saying: I loved it, Drew tolerated it, and the girls were terrified by the monkeys but love the songs.

Your character predictions are accurate. I had the girls make predictions and they were surprisingly good too. When I told them Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow, Drew said, "What? How do you know???" so genuinely that it made me mad. Straight men!!!!

Hahaha I’m full of surprises! Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to exist in the world as a straight man, but I think it would just be not noticing a single thing and forgetting to drink water. I’m parched just thinking about it.

Love your thoughts on Wicked, the sets were so impressive! And Part 2 is a lot darker from what I remember from the play, whereas act one has mean girls/legally blonde vibes! Will see how they pull it off next year!

I’m very curious to see how they redeem Glinda (if they do) because as of part 1 I find her to be absolutely incorrigible haha
