00:00And 3, 2, 1, action.
00:06Can I call you Elfie?
00:07Well, it's a little bit perky.
00:08I know.
00:09And you can call me Galinda.
00:11That is your name.
00:12Let's not quarrel.
00:14There's a lot of people who love Wicked.
00:16There's a lot of people who need Wicked.
00:20It truly resonates with me because it lands on the idea
00:25that the possibilities in any person are endless.
00:28Stop!
00:29No!
00:31Once you learn to harness your emotion,
00:36the sky's the limit.
00:38That is amazing.
00:39As a fan, as a person who's loved this for 20 years,
00:42I know that this fights for truth and the complexities
00:46of being misunderstood.
00:47You, come with me.
00:50Of course.
00:50Not you, you, Miss Elphaba.
00:56It touched on the things that I love and know,
00:58going to college, meeting friends,
01:00saying goodbye to friends.
01:02It's a magical place.
01:04And that life there is exciting.
01:07It's the place where your dreams begin.
01:11It is my heart's desire to become a sorceress.
01:14And it's all about identity, I think,
01:15and finding yourself and aligning what your belief
01:17system is with your actions.
01:20No one should be scorned or laughed at
01:23or told to keep quiet.
01:27Remarkable.
01:29Absolutely remarkable.
01:32It's very much a story about discovery.
01:36We animals are now being blamed for everything
01:39that goes wrong.
01:41Fighting for who you are.
01:43Listen to me!
01:44You're not being told the whole story!
01:47You can't permit this.
01:48I'm afraid he's out of our hands.
01:50Are we all just going to sit here in silence?
01:52Well, someone's got to do something.
01:55Wicked was about a relationship with other people.
01:58And the quality of those relationships
02:00can transform your life.
02:04Quickly, get off.
02:07Come with me.
02:08It speaks to so many things now.
02:11Making it not just entertaining and hilarious
02:15and exciting and thrilling and nourishing in those senses,
02:18but also vital.
02:20You have no real power.
02:22That undying spirit is at the heart of Wicked.
02:26You did it.
02:28You actually did it.
02:29And to have this film at this moment,
02:31urgently at this moment, means the world.
02:37If there are no further questions, I'm going to go.
