CUNTILOCIOUS SLAYITIZING QUEENERISM.
I trust John Chu with any and all musical adaptations from now on. I cried like 6 or 7 times.
No One Mourns the Wicked and Ariana's high note, baby Elphie and Nessa 🥺, the For Good motif playing throughout, Dr. Dillamond..., Jonathan Fucking Bailey, DANCING THROUGH LIFE, the rumbling bass whenever Elphie does magic, p o p u l a r, 'and they were roommates!', THAT cameo in One Short Day, maximalism sensory overload, so many Animals!!!!!!!!, Jonathan fucking Bailey twice because omg 🥵🥵🥵, all of the choreo, all of the singing, all of the acting and chemistry, the set design, the emotion, it was all magnificent.
They're lucky that this movie ended up being so good because the irl drama was getting exhausting.
Cannot wait for Part 2, Thank Goodness and For Good are going to rip my heart out of my chest and stomp on it for good measure
