Audiences are flocking to theaters to see Wicked: For Good, the thrilling finale to Jon M. Chu’s Wicked films and, essentially, Act 2 of the musical. Which includes one of the best songs in the entire show: “As Long As You’re Mine.”
The song in the Broadway musical features Elphaba and Fiyero on a somewhat blank stage and the two cannot keep their hands off of each other. Jonathan Bailey and Cynthia Erivo’s version makes the audience wait for the two to finally kiss each other and the tension bleeds into the entire song. On the one hand, it was hot. On the other, I am not sure that it made sense for “As Long As You’re Mine.”
