Posted by We’re back with the second instalment of our three-part Wicked: For Good takeover of The West End Frame Show!
Spoiler alert: In this episode, Andrew Tomlins and Lisa Martland dive even deeper into their thoughts on the new Wicked movie.
They unpack the brand-new songs “There’s No Place Like Home” and “Girl In The Bubble,” and share their reactions to the film’s opening sequence. Andrew and Lisa also discuss Ariana Grande’s performance of “Thank Goodness / I Couldn’t Be Happier,” the reworked version of “Wonderful,” and the expanded storyline for Nessarose and Boq, including how “Wicked Witch of the East” has been changed for the movie.
The conversation continues with a closer look at Glinda’s expanded character arc, as well as the intentions of Madame Morrible and The Wizard and how their dynamic with both Elphaba and Glinda plays out differently in the film.
And all sorts of other stuff pops up along the way!
