Chris Gore: “Two friends who grow up to become enemies….I’ve seen the play four times, and it respected the original Wizard of Oz…Elphaba is Trump, and the Wizard is Biden…it’s very gay in a sense, but it’s mainly about female friendship….Elphaba and Galinda…having said all of that, in the backdrop of Shiz University’s diversity…gay, drag queens, straight…guys in skirts…Bowen Yang…the gayness of the film is in the background…this movie is very gay, and if you’re looking for that, you’re gonna see it. But if you kind of ignore this, it’s a beautiful story.”
