Wicked Musical - Tumblr Posts
not the wicked broadway instagram account making the gayest galentines day post i’ve ever seen
Guess who just saw Wicked and needs an outlet
Something something I had a crush on a girl in my class and I didn't know how to deal with it so I wrote her a letter that just said "get out of my school"
hey guys... you won't BELIEVE what other ship i'm obsessed with right now!!!
uhhh yeah i saw wicked recently and now the only thing i can think about lately is them.... hope you don't mind... haha
(this doesn't mean i don't like buttonblossom anymore, i just like them a lot too yk?)
she ___ on my ___ till i ___ but it’s wicked songs
she dear on my old till i shiz
she dancing on my through till i life
she one on my short till i day
she a on my sentimental till i man
she no on my good till i deed
i only did the titles that are three words long but if you have any ideas for the longer and shorter titles i'd like to see them!
I have NO knowledge on Wicked whatsoever you can infodump me about it and the sillies (xxx) if you want... ... .. . .
I JUST SAW THIS AAAAA sorry for responding so late! i know you said to infodump but i really don't want to spoil too much in case you'd like to see it for yourself if that's alright
Wicked is a musical that takes place before and after the events of The Wizard of Oz. it's pretty much the Wicked Witch of the West's origin story told through her perspective (and also Glinda the Good's!)
as for the sillies... i absolutely adore them! even though they aren't canonically together, they are in my heart. i think about them so much that they're practically living in my head at this point. rent-free, of course.
"we're just two friends"
"two good friends"
"two best friends"
yeah okay sure. when are you going to kiss.
Every time Galinda and Elphaba call each other “friend” they are literally just saying “no homo”
gelphie does indeed kiss…in the original wicked novel
oh my god the novel. that novel has so much gelphie in it and i love it for that. thank you for reminding me anon you've genuinely brightened my day
the musical however... gelphie kiss when guys. come on.
defying bratvity
this is so cute!!! i love.
the burn marks on elphaba lowkey remind me of the scars that the phantom of the opera has. wicked poto au? maybe? who knows
Gelphie picrew!!
(The burns are from water cause in the book she’s actually allergic to water)
DAMMMNNNN that is some FINE art right there holy guacamole
Who else’s inner musical theater nerd is crying now that this is actually happening? Been waiting so long
"Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project!"
"...you really don't have to do that."
"I know! That's what makes me so nice."
WOAH the first fanart i've ever put onto my tumblr... crazy...
this is for @spaghettiisinmysoul, inspired by their espeon and umbreon designs of Glinda and Elphaba! i couldn't get them off my mind at all this week, so i decided to just take the time to sit down and draw them.
making this was a new experience since i've never really drawn Pokémon before, but it was certainly a fun one! i think my favorite part was drawing their expressions.
as for the designs this art was based on, i absolutely adored the curl on Glinda, and honestly i wish i added more curls in her fur.. maybe next time! i also loved how green Elphaba was, even as an umbreon, so i made her EVEN GREENER. muahahaha... hope that's not too much of an issue.
anyway, i sincerely hope you enjoyed this! i hope to make more art for wicked (and perhaps more of these designs) in the future!
OUuughh these photos... they're so crispy.. my favorite is definitely the one with nessa and boq
Danish Wicked 💚
KRISTIN???? OH MY GOD??????
i mean she isn't wrong but WOAH. truly insane i never would have expected this...

I can attest for this, I just saw the new wicked cast for the second national North American tour in Saint Louis and it was so gay and Olivia and Celia slayed on that stage. (I noticed the reaching out to eachother during defying gravity too, Elphaba also put her hand to heart too during this moment)
Okay I saw Wicked again and I’m reobsessed so anyway some of my favorite things from this performance and just in general
The first word of the show is good and the last word of the show is wicked and if that doesn’t sum up how well the symbolism hits idk what does
Watching NOMTW it really did just hit me all over again the themes of fate and destiny and the limitations society puts on us and the limitations we put on ourselves
Wicked is a tragedy in the truest sense! No matter what Elphaba does she will not win and she cannot change things! No matter what Glinda does she will lose Elphaba!
Glinda’s sad face in NOMTW, and also how she is surrounded by the Ozians but is still so alone. They’re all giving her so much space, she has to walk across the stage and reach out just to get them to look her in the eyes (she’s lost the only people who ever saw her as a person rather than a doll)
The first time Elphaba runs downstage and she’s grinning so wide and she has so much hope for herself and for the world
The silence while Elphaba is dancing alone at the Ozdust, but more importantly, the way the music starts all soft and quiet when Glinda starts dancing with her. It’s the most romantic tune in the first act, maybe in the entire show
All the hand holding
The way that Glinda almost goes with her in Defying Gravity
The way Glinda reaches for Elphaba once she starts flying. Not caring at all that the guards and the Ozians and everyone else on stage can see. She’s just trying to reach her one last time
(The way Elphaba reaches back)
Glinda’s solo in Thank Goodness (Celia Hottenstein nails Glinda’s lower parts and she was an absolute dream especially in this song)
When Elphaba returns and Glinda walks into the room, the first thing she does is run into Elphaba’s arms. She’s horrified at the situation later but at that moment she doesn’t even notice anyone but Elphie
As Long As You’re Mine. Look Fiyero and Elphaba are Not It for me but the intensity of that song, the way the music slides into these dark little motifs, the harmonies. It’s so good
Glinda mourning Nessa when no one else is around
Elphaba blaming herself and Glinda immediately trying to comfort her even though they’re mad at each other
Idk if this is a normal thing and I’ve just never caught it before but when Fiyero was holding Glinda at gunpoint Elphaba was shaking her head, she looked so scared
Glinda tossing Elphaba her hat back and telling her to go
The opt up on FiyeeEErroooOOOOOOooooo
(All of No Good Deed)
Especially when she’s further back and the smoke is whirling around her and everything is purple and gold and it’s so sinister and her cape is flying around her and she is well and truly broken
I actually really love March of the Witch Hunters. It sounds sick af and it makes me imagine a world where the musical was closer to Maguire’s book and kept that super eerie, darkly violent vibe
(I feel the same way about when Fiyero is alone after ALAYM, and the music gets all intense and he’s running around the stage, holding up his lantern. idk those scenes hit a very specific vibe and I don’t quite know what it is but I like it)
Before For Good, when Elphaba started to tell Glinda to run, Glinda sobbed her name and it hit so hard
Have I mentioned the hand holding?
The way that they stand so still in For Good. So many songs have such insane movement to them, or even interludes between parts but For Good is just the two of them
(It’s such a love song)
Elphaba blew a kiss to Glinda and then pressed her hand over her heart when she hid her behind the curtain before the melting scene
Glinda’s sad face in NOMTW pt2
Again idk how common this is but before the lil For Good reprise Fiyero started to lead Elphaba away and she was about to take his hand but then Glinda started singing “who can say…” and Elphaba immediately turned away from him to go walk toward Glinda
The fifth tall Glinda, the defying gravity one, it looks like she’s about to kiss Elphaba real quick before she decides there’s not enough time. Like look at it! Their faces were centimeters away from one another for a few seconds!
Also we love our tall Glinda’s, we love Glinda’s that can lift their Elphie’s mid hug, it just so cute.
Tall!Glinda compilation because we are all very normal about that, as evidenced by:
Bonus:
I absolutely love this! 😆
So, as it turns out, it’s very probable that the project that I was a part of earlier this year won’t actually come to fruition. It’s kind of disappointing, but I still had the chance to put down one track, and it just so happens to be my favorite song in the show!
Here’s No One Mourns the Wicked, with no ensemble parts layered in ^-^
Feel free to reblog, if you’d like!
Holy shit she’s Coronabeth. Holy fuck.
They could never make me hate you incredibly smart but self obsessed and vain glinda, no matter how hard they try theyll never make me think youre a bimbo who pretends to be dumb, they js dont get your depth like i do. They dont understand that you genuinely dont think of yourself as a driven person and so you never felt like trying to be one until you found passion for something, theyll never understand that youre not an uncommitted bad sorceress but simply a girl with no natural talent that tries so hard she manages to get there anyway

Kiss me too fiercely; hold me too tight.
