MAJOR SPOILERS for the Wicked musical AND MAJOR SPOILER SPECULATION for the film, Wicked Part 2. I’ll keep the spoilers below the “Read More” cut, but YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Okay, I saw Wicked Part 1 last weekend, and I loved it! I’ve always loved the musical’s soundtrack and the 1939 Wizard of Oz film, but I love Wicked Part 1 more. It’s just so perfect! It captures the whimsy of the Land of Oz while portraying the themes of the musical (and Gregory Maguire’s novel, Wicked, to a degree) really well with excellent world-building and character development.

Lots of content creators are already talking about Elphaba and Glinda and Nessarose and what they have going on, so I decided I want to talk about one of my favorite characters and his potential arc.

Who am I talking about? Our beloved Winkie Prince, Fiyero!

You see, by the end of Wicked Part 1, Fiyero has experienced quite a bit of character development, and he seems to be going on a journey, but we’re not sure where yet, at least in the movie musical’s timeline. However, we can guess where he’s going to go based on what we know of the stage musical and what’s foreshadowed in Wicked Part 1.

Now, before I go any further, I’m warning you: there will be spoilers for the Wicked stage musical down below the cut here. The foreshadowing in Part 1 is based on that knowledge. If you click the link below and read the rest of this post, please don’t say you weren’t warned.

I’d Turn Back If I Were You
