"Is Glinda a centrist? Is Elphaba a revolutionary leader or did she fail? And how does the story of Elphaba and Glinda working together teach us some lessons for fighting fascism in a very unmagical place: present-day United States?
Francesca unpacks the political allegories in Wicked... to look at how the allyship between Glinda and Elphaba mirrors characters within the Democratic Party... [as well as that of] revolutionary duos throughout history, like MLK Jr. and Malcolm X, Gandhi and Nehru, or Fidel Castro and Che Guevara -- changemakers who worked toward justice both inside and outside of their political systems, to bring change to their people."
