Although I got to see Wicked: For Good at previews, you best believe I was seated for a second viewing on opening weekend. But as the horny harmonies of As Long As You’re Mine rang out, one of my companions leaned over and whispered: “What the hell is Elphaba wearing?!”
Because holding a conversation in the cinema is the act of a psychopath, I had to hold my tongue. But I was disappointed to witness first hand that the gorgeous nightgown worn by Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) as she hooks up with Fiyero wasn’t landing with audiences. Obviously I’d already read Vulture’s — very funny — viral take that birthed the ‘sex cardigan’ meme. I can see why it’s a hit; sex is very funny and everyone loves a fashion gag.
