Wicked pandemonium is defying gravity. (Insert your own clawing high note.)It’s been nearly a month since Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical hit theaters, but you wouldn’t know from the constant noise.
On one hand, we get it: gays have been waiting to watch Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Galinda Glinda (Ariana Grande) on the big screen; Jonathan Bailey is irresistible in those Fiyero boots; and that score remains iconic.Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.Nevertheless, it’s starting to feel like the end of a party when we’ve all been overserved, and would probably be better off heading home than attempting the “Popular” outro or downing more Green Elixir.(Did we mention that we’ve got to do all this again when its second part, Wicked: For Good, arrives next year?!)Don’t believe us?
We’ve brought some receipts, courtesy of some Shiz University wannabes of our favorite gay TIkTokers.i really did try to defy gravity… @arianagrande @Cynthia Erivo #defyinggravity #wickedDo we need any more proof than the gays almost setting their homes on FIRE?!
In this hilarious video, @sheltonzane grabs a broom to evoked Elphaha’s legendary ascent into the sky… except a nearby fireplace meant he harnessed a different kind of power.OK, we’ll admit, the clip (which has been viewed over 2.3 million times) is pretty funny.
