Are the witches in wicked gay

Here’s our guide to all of the LGBT+ innuendos (and outuendos) going down at the Ozdust Ballroom now that “Wicked”—and its accompanying queer discourse—is now in theaters. Fans are talking about how the cast’s real-life identities tie into the story’s queer undertones. Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba, the green-skinned witch.

She’s openly queer and has shared her fluid sexuality in a British Vogue interview. Ariana Grande plays Glinda, the bubbly blonde. Neither Elphaba nor Glinda is explicitly the in the text the musical is based on but some fans think are queer-coded. Now, Cynthia Gay and Ariana Grande have addressed the.

Now, as Out always asks, how gay is it? The central story of Wicked is and always has been a love story between its two female leads. That certainly doesn't change here and any Gelphie shippers. Ariana and Cynthia have spoken about Wicked's subtext, but are there any actual gay characters or actors in the film?.

I mean, it is just a true love, and I think that transcends sexuality. When Elphaba is invited to meet the Wizard, it is Glinda she brings with her, not Fiyero, and wicked Elphaba realizes the Wizard is just a man with no more power than anyone else, it is Glinda who she wants by her side as she flies off for those Western skies.

The secret of Wicked the musical, the reason it became the phenomenon it became, lies right in that quote. But somehow the accusations never go away. So much so that by intermission, I announced to the askance witches of some of the straight theater goers in my row, or was it my imagination?
