Just a reminder to anyone saying they think Wicked has too much CGI - their practical sets & effects really are THAT good
They built Munchkinland, an entire Shiz University exterior (with a lake), planted 9 million tulips, all practical stunts, etc.

The “Green Team” knocked it out of the park with Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba look.
The subtle imperfections in her skin to make it look like a real complexion, the gradient on her nails getting lighter as they grow out, the radiant green contacts. Truly a remarkable job. 💚
