I admittedly listen to this once and it was like white noise only bc I was grossly involved in a project. I listened to it again and loved it. I loved the layers.

As a fan of both the original tale and the beloved musical, I appreciate how Maguire expands on the backstory of familiar characters, offering a fresh perspective on their motivations and relationships. The themes of friendship, love, and the struggle for identity resonate deeply, making Elphaba's journey both relatable and compelling.
