With out sharing an excessive amount of, that tune is a duet between Elphaba and Fiyero, and after seeing the sparks between them on this movie, I am unable to wait to see how their relationship develops in Half 2. And extra importantly for this story, I must know if she has something to do together with his blue eyes.
It’s going to be an extended 12 months, isn’t it? Really although, I’ve some guesses and ideas about what this might all be about. Nonetheless, to actually know the that means behind his eyes, we’ll have to attend.
