Gave up around part 4. Couldn’t bring myself to finish it. It moves at such a slow pace, and I’ve seen the musical (which, while different, is a much more enjoyable experience). This kind of feels dark just for darkness’ sake. Elphaba isn’t all that likable. Neither is Glinda. Or really anyone. It just never gets going, and I couldn’t pay enough attention to it to finish it. I’ll stick with the musical.
