The overrated musical Wicked has been propped up by Broadway for years as the greatest work of art ever to exist. If you’re a theatre kid like me, the number of screeching renditions you’ve heard of “Defying Gravity” at every audition is enough to make you want to bang your head against a wall.
At its core Wicked is nothing more than a woke cliche that spins off the classic Wizard of Oz: The Bad Witch is actually good, and merely a victim of the fascist fairyland she terrorizes.
With a new movie remake we didn’t need, Hollywood diddy types have now found a way to make the land over the rainbow even gayer. But this time, it kind of makes sense.
For a while, we’ve allowed circus freaks guilt trip us down the goose poop covered brick road to an Oz-like dystopia. An upside down that rejects reality to cater to society’s most deranged.
But if our 2024 Presidential Election results revealed anything, it’s that the Wicked Woke of the West is finally melting. Just not soon enough to quit calling them out every Tuesday on “Woke of the Weak!”
Join me on a trip to the Emerald City in our latest episode!
