The witches are back! Meaning, of course, Marilyn, Nichole, and Elysia – the trio returns, one year later, to talk about the second and final (?) Wicked musical adaptation: How does it compare to the first? To the second act of the musical? And the books it's based on? And, most importantly, what does it mean to be changed for the better...for good?They begin with a quick spoiler-free comparison with the first movie before their full spoiler breakdown. Stick around after the outro music for an even more spoiler-filled comparison with the Gregory Maguire book.Recommended: Catch up first on Wicked: Part I (2024) – incl. musical & book comparisonsContact Us Questions or comments?

David and Nichole unpack an episode that mirrors Carol and Manusos through parallel solitary journeys of survival and loss. The conversation begins with thoughtful community feedback about microaggressions and the importance of names, then explores Carol's emotional progression during her 12-day montage of attempting normalcy in an empty world. They examine the profound loneliness of experiences without other people present, the layered symbolism in her choices—from the Georgia O'Keeffe painting to "I Will Survive" on the player piano—and how the episode's rich visual storytelling reveals the gap between togetherness and isolation at the show's core.Contact Us Questions or comments?
